USB Wallet Design & Visualisation

My client wanted to explore various ways of integrating USB flash drives into bespoke leather wallets - many of those currently on the market were fiddly to use and difficult to plug in.  The product also had to look good, be functional, and above all, be easy to manufacture.

The design I came up with used an embedded USB leather strap that would keep the wallet closed whilst also protecting the chip. The idea was simple, and the concept was effectively presented using a series of renders and animations.

For the visualisations, 3ds max's inbuilt scan-line renderer was used, as well as a lighting solution created with the light tracer plugin.
