PRODUCT DESIGN

Explore the Draidle from new angles. This project reinvents this traditional spinning top in three unique ways, each section offering a fresh perspective on its cultural and artistic significance.

The Draidle Booklet:In the first part of this imaginative project, I crafted a unique Draidle-inspired booklet that not only held the shape of the traditional Draidle but also shared insightful information about this traditional spinning top. The design beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Draidle, offering readers a visual and informative experience that pays homage to this cherished symbol.

Draidle Entertainment Piece:The second segment of this project took a playful turn as I deconstructed the Draidle's sides and ingeniously reassembled them into a captivating entertainment piece. Each side was carefully transformed into a moveable element, creating a dynamic and engaging toy that brought new life to the Draidle's form, reimagining it as a source of endless fun and amusement.

Draidle Movement Art Piece:For the final phase, I delved into the mesmerizing motion of the Draidle. I drew inspiration from the path it creates when twirled and translated this fluid movement into a visually captivating art piece on wood. This artwork captures the grace and elegance of the Draidle's dance, offering a unique perspective on the cultural significance of this beloved toy.
