what is vacuum forming
Vacuum forming is the process of heating up plastic to a malleable state, then using a strong force of air to form the plastic over the form.
Why a Shoe
I'm very passionate about sneakers, especially more unique sneakers such as Adidas' city socks.
Ideation
The Ideation aspect of it is very important, in order to to plan out your idea and envision what you want on paper.
Process
In order to vacuum form I had to first make a hard mold of the shoe. I made the mold by forming it around an actual nmd Adidas City Sock. The clay then hardened but was still in a rough form. I then sanded the mold to get a cleaner look. I then used the form to vacuum form a sign.
