Description

This paper explores and explains my concept for the aesthetic design of the Zero Reel. I worked with my father, a mechanical engineer who invented a fishing reel that solves the problem of backlash. I moved through concepts in several different mediums and eventually came up with something beautiful and plausible. My final concept is expressed in a few refined sketches and a to-scale model machined out of plastic. This paper walks through my design philosophy as it developed through research, a description of the physical concept and its functions, and a few extra benefits of its unorthodox construction.
