This is the concept i have been working on, the main problem i have been grappling with is that in order to move the adjusters, the screen gets obscured by the users hand. i have attempted to overcome that by using a bubble-like screen (these exist, laser projection on black plastic, very cheap too) that fits in the arch of the users hand. any other suggestions on display methods would be great. i also think that these domes compliment the overall form more than a hidden lcd would.

Hey Andrew, i think you’ve overcome this problem in the best way possible and yes, the bubble screen creates great overall contrast in form - the long parallel adjuster lines in opposition to the curvy bubble screens. This makes the product more exciting and red digit projections definitely suit. Maybe to aid in conveying to user the method in which the adjusters are used, you could possibly add small finger contours, or a simplified palm contour to the flat plane of the adjuster. Or perhaps you could draw or print onto the adjuster a silhouette graphic of a hand, maybe in a darker shade of grey. You may be going for a minimal approach so these suggestions may not be the best in that regard however the adjusters to me without the hand sketch seem static and unmovable. If maybe a visible pin joint was shown, this would at least give a clue to functionality of your radio. However even if you left it as it is, it’s a pretty cool transistor radio!

I love the shape and the interface it's so unique and alien like (if you will and i hope you allow that, ANYWAYS). My only concern is with the size. Judging by the hand in the picture, the radio is going to be quite large which would seam that the dimension extend far from the criteria we are given. I'm sure it could be just as operational with your fingertips.
Good drawings as well, captured the form really well hehe :)
