Good Design - Izona Cooktop


The Good Design task involved analysing a product featured in the Australian International Design Awards (see www.designawards.com.au) and creating an A3 sized poster. The goal for the poster was to focus on the aesthetic quality of the product and not its functionality and technical aspects.

The product I assessed was the Izona cooktop by Fischer and Paykel. This is a revolutionary design which fuses gas and ceramic cooktop technology. Similarly the introduction of fan forced gas for even heat distribution, retractable pan supports and elegant black ceramic glass are all a testament to why it won this prestigious award.

The key challenge for this task was to discuss only the visual design elements. This is as the elegant aesthetic is only possible given the revolutionary technology. The other challenge was creating a visually appealing poster. I opted to use Microsoft Paint as I believed this would work best for the layout I chose and my ability with other programs and am pleased with the outcome.
