This project was created in a sophomore 3D design studio at UT Austin and challenged students to translate a 2D sketch into a 3D foam core model for a kids food tray. The prompt required us to design a tray appropriate for ages 2 to 4, featuring an animal or toy theme with three distinct food compartments. I chose to design a tray based on a Sphynx cat, incorporating visual playfulness and subtle symbolism. The final design includes six food compartments, formed by layering four levels of foam core to build volume and depth. Each piece was carefully cut and assembled by hand using X-Acto tools and hot glue. I focused on adding clear tertiary details like the bandana detailing, inspired by costume motifs, to help visually separate the food areas while making the tray more engaging for young users. The purpose of this assignment was to develop foam core prototyping skills, paying close attention to fit, form, and clarity of shape. From the early sketch to the final stacked model, this process taught me how to maintain the integrity of complex forms during physical translation, and it strengthened my ability to communicate visual hierarchy through silhouette and relief. The result is a tactile, imaginative tray that invites playful interaction while meeting functional requirements for child-friendly dining.
