The Challenge
Self-Initiated Digital Concept Project
E-commerce & Advertising Visual System
The brief was self-defined: design a new footwear direction that blends Crocs’ recognisable brand DNA with performance-led form language, then execute it to professional retail standards.
The challenge was twofold:
-
Develop the product design from initial paper sketches into a resolved three-dimensional form.
-
Produce high-impact e-commerce and campaign imagery without physical prototyping.
The visual system needed to communicate structure, comfort, material contrast, and brand presence while maintaining retail clarity and consistency across multiple product angles.
The Approach
The work was approached as a complete
visual asset system
The project followed a fully digital pipeline:
-
Initial concept exploration through hand sketching and form development
-
Translation into a detailed 3D CG model
-
Refinement of proportions, surface transitions, sole geometry, and branding integration
-
Final image creation through advanced rendering and AI-enhanced visual production
Studio-style lighting was designed to replicate precision commercial photography. Multiple e-commerce angles were produced, including profile, front, rear, sole, and detail views, ensuring the asset set mirrored real-world online retail requirements.
Materials were developed to accurately simulate mesh breathability, moulded sole construction, rubber texture, and surface contrast. Post-production focused on colour accuracy, tonal control, edge definition, and consistency across all deliverables.
The result is a complete conceptual footwear visual system created entirely through digital design and image production.
While not commissioned by the brand, the project demonstrates the capability to move from initial design thinking to e-commerce-ready commercial visuals without physical sampling, reducing development time and enabling future-facing product visualisation workflows.
