These strategies can be helpful when you are designing any product. We are going to look at the following design strategy : Morphing

Try this exercise to help you draw a face. The face is made from a number of circles. Design Strategies: Morphing

Using the face create earlier, develop a wide range different expressions. Which is your favourite? Design Strategies: Morphing
