Original Wonder Crown.
Problem.
Create a product specifically for hats that will help hats keep their shape, and make them last a longer period of time.
Solution.
For this project I set out with a friend to create a product for hat wearers, most specifically vintage hat wearers, that would keep their hats looking nice all the time and that would over time reshape the hat to its original form. After a lot of conceptualizing and trial and error, we came up with the design. The product is made from a thin plastic sheet and then hand cut into shape. We were able to make it so you could even wear your hat with the product in and it would still be comfortable. The main inspiration for this product and its design was the cardboard hat inserts that come in new hats and also the cardboard and sometimes plastic inserts that go inside shoes.
Programs: Mostly hand-done sketching and cutting, used some Illustrator, Photoshop
