This document is a design process book for a student or professional project. It documents the creation of a luxury yacht concept inspired by the character Harvey Specter from the television series Suits. The book is intended for design students, instructors, or anyone interested in product design development.

The first section establishes the project's foundation with a moodboard and research into the character's defining traits: confidence, power, arrogance, ambition, luxury, independence, and classiness. It includes a brief introduction to Harvey Specter as a character and the setting of Suits.

Following the research phase, the document presents a colour, material, and finish (CMF) study. This section examines the colours Harvey Specter typically wears in the show, translating his personal style into a material palette for the yacht design.

The ideation section shows the initial concept sketches and design explorations. This leads into digital development stages including Photoshop rendering and AI-generated mockups, showing how the concepts evolved visually.

The final section of the document presents the completed prototype model. This is the culmination of the design process, showing the physical or digital model that resulted from the research, ideation, and rendering stages.
