Kit Bashing

The term "kit bashing" means to destroy a perfectly good and working product in attempts to create another product - typically a mockup or idea. Its a fun and creative exercise we do from time to time during the initial phases of the product design process.

Extensive development costs (man hours and purchasing costs) can be spent reaching a point to prove an idea. But in some cases the idea or action were trying to prove already exists but in a completely different platform/product category.

Not only does this exercise save time but it is very effective in manipulating existing technology or action or as simple as highlighting a shape, material or color.
