Display: TKO (i.e. The Final Product)

Finally - it is finished! Granted, after pulling an all-nighter on this one, I felt like I was the one that had received the TKO! Though there were still a few things that I would have like to have addressed, I was actually pleased with the final product.


As far as my critique, it went pretty well; the comments were positive regarding my precision and craftwork.


One of the improvements I included in this project made upon the Packaging & Modeling...the Finale design, was to also create interior boxes. The intent behind this addition to the design is to prevent the cards from spilling or shuffling about when the display is moved. It also adds protection for the cards when a customer pulls out the drawer to retrieve a set.


I was able to achieve my goals in creating a 360-degree display that spins! I was able to create a "spinning tower" by fashioning a cross stich hoop into a "Lazy Susan." Additionally, I created tiers in-between the boxes by using plastic bobbin pins. Both the hoop and pins were spray-painted a matted silver to complement the frost gold Canford paper. The tiers added height, but also an improved aesthetic design.





All in all, I am quite pleased with my handiwork. Thanks for the photo, Cassy! :)
