Product Design for a Tile System Art Tool

Tumira

Personal Project

2024

Tumira will solve the problem of overwhelmed artists having too many choices when creating art by giving them predefined shapes and colors.

Research

Tumira is an extension of my Cacho Shapes art studies, providing me with another avenue to delve into the interplay of shapes and colors. In my exploration, I found inspiration in children's toys that feature a variety of blocks and colors, designed for kids to engage with and play.

Prototyping

Design

Developed a system for the shapes so that can all potetionally fit together well on the canvas. Being able to flip or rotate shapes opened up the ability to add more odd shapes to use.

User Experience Design

Development

Tumira was developed using Python and Pygame, allowing for a quick and efficient creation process.The shapes were developed into a font. This made manipulating the size, color, and rotation of the shapes easier during development.

Challenges

Mouse input was a new challenge for me in my creative tools.

Learning to distribute for web on Itch.io took a lot of time.

Outcomes

Itch.io has been a nice way to distribute the tool

I ejoy using Tumira to make something fun and quick.
