In this project, Rene Lee (BFA ID 2013) aimed to reconceive the printer. His goal was to end the painful process of sharing a printer between numerous people. He realized that he had to change the way the printer organized multiple documents, so that the user could immediately find their document and go on with their business.
After ideating, conceptualizing, and researching he finally arrived at the ideal arrangement of arraying documents into a fan that would be simple both to view and to engineer.
The final result was a printer unlike any other ever. He had transformed the printer from a heavy utilitarian piece of equipment into something elegant that would also improve the user experience.
