The objective of this project was to derive the Ryobi brand design language that can be used both of Model #RY803001 and Model #RY802800 in a new line of the pressure washer. Integrating with Ryobi aesthetics and product functionalities, the final design mainly consists of four components, frame form, nozzle panel, motor housing and soap tank. In corporating with another team member, the pipe frame design was the initial basic form development and we independently created the rest of the component concepts and narrowing down the top choices for a final combination.
