It’s time Ultimate Frisbee got its own shoe

BACKGROUNDRESEARCH
Endzones and a field over 100 yards long are reminis-
cent of a football field.
A pivot foot, fouls, and a need for jumping abil-ity are what basketball
brings to the table
Fluid player movement, passing and game rhythm
are similar to soccer

Oval Shaped Cleats Are
Than circular ones
It’s apparent some cleats matter more than others
safer

AESTHETICDIRECTION
Design Requirements
youthful styling
high performance gear
high perceived value
something unique
brand ethos
highly visible
A shoe needs to protect its wearer from getting stomped on, much like a turtle shell.
The circular shape of a frisbee could be an interesting design element
according to the world global style network, brightly colored sportswear is in trend, with brands like adicolor leading the charge

REED101
What is a reed
why is a reed important
anatomy of a clarinet
The cane plants that create reeds are
harvested and cut
The reed sits flush on the mouthpiece face and
vibrates when played
If the reed warps even slightly, it won’t be able
to sit properly on the mouthpiece. This inhibits
tone and response.
When the mouthpiece and reed interact properly,
music can be made.
Three reeds are created per cylinder. The reeds are filed down to almost paper thin at the end
The reed structure is made of xylem cells, which contract and
expand with moisture input

Interacts directly with the player. Sound is formed here. The reed rests on the mouthpiece

BENCHMARKING&IDEATION
humidity control surface quality
why do reeds warp
current market evaluation
The humidity, and rate of change of humidity within the reeds can cause the
xylem cells to warp.
A poor surface storage can cause the reeds to
warp while drying.
Playing reeds too often can cause
warpage.

Memory foam strip to keep reeds in place
Double sided design holds reeds on either side of the glass
Dual hygrometers show humidity on either side of the case
Humidipak integration
Use of glass allows for reeds to be stored on both sides.
Holds over 10 reeds per side
O-ring for a perfect humidity seal
FEATURES&BENEFITS
Daniel Orbach | 17
The case’s unique construction allows for two modules that are mirrors of one another to sandwich together over the glass, creating environments that can me individually humidity controlled, so that you can keep reed that are being broken in separate from reeds that are being played regularly

TASKANALYSIS
Additional Research
Subjects did not prefer a circular handle profile, opting instead for a slightly oblong design
Subjects reported less forearm fatigue with a handle angle of 19 degrees
Potential Stress point during prolonged use. Ulnar deviation is key.
Ability of little finger to wrap around handle.
Daniel Orbach | 20
Handle grip did not allow for turning of the trowel without slipping
Needing to push downward with the trowel to mix using finger muscles to grip. Fingers extend beyond handle
Handle is too small for the hand, causing the fingers to wrap around the handle and become too stressed
Butt of handle digs into fleshMicro muscles for macro movements
Spade is too long for the handleFound a study with ten subjects, three different trowels and fifteen different motions. This is the result of the study:

Tail flare helps keep hand from slipping
A more aesthetically pleasing curvature
Taller profile engages the correct muscleslonger design allows
the user to choke up on the handle
more balanced handle to spade proportion
