Aesthetic
'Tron: Legacy' has a very distinct visual language. Despite being a digital world, the forms seen in this film are fluid and organic.
Harder surfaces are clean and shiny. Every product, from clothes to vehicles, have strips of bright light.

Concept Sketches
My product of choice is an electric toothbrush. Not only will the body design be considered, but a charger as well.

Study Models
Giving a toothbrush the 'Tron' aesthetic was an interesting challenge. The body shape could be organic, and application of light strips and sleek hard casing
could be applied to the digital models later in the process. When making the physical models, I used black tape, a turkey baster from the 99¢ Store,
and parts from cheap electric brushes. I also made one of the handles out of renshape (a polyurethane material that feels similar to wood).

Product Information
The Iota: Vivid Light Spinbrush features an ergonomically friendly handle, as well as LED lights that glow in strips along its body and through the
nylon brush bristles. The On/Off button is made of a soft silicone; the rest of the body is injection-molded plastic. The charging disk also features
LED lights that give off a slow "pulse" to indicate that the toothbrush is charging, and remains steady when fully charged.
