Display: Second Round

At this point, I really do feel like I am in a boxing ring with this project - and it's winning! Argh! I am totally mentally exhausted and OVER this project! Seriously!


Now that I am done with my venting, let's get back to the project. Following the last desk crit, I thought how to scale down the size and more interactive. My inspiration was a treasure chest. My vision included a box that would gold like the previous project and as it was spun, each little window could be latch-opened and would reveal a photo, or memory, of why a customer would need multiple Thank You cards. The cards themselves would be stored inside.



From Professor Lechinsky's perspective, I was re-creating the package and seemed to be getting too far away from the product and focusing too much on the photos. So I spent much of the week frustrated. I started looking at wood and spent a couple of hours in Plaza Art bouncing ideas in creating a display stand; I thought the cards and photos could alternate on this helix-shaped stand...just couldn't quite get it to come together. So back to the box...

I started thinking I could reintroduce the drawer concept. Create it at a scale that would allow me to store 2-3 drawers...
From there, instead of windows, the photos would be visible on all sides...




Professor Lechinsky suggested that I might cover the box in the photos to incorporate them, but said to focus on the drawers - try to meld the tower idea with this one. At this point, I'm sick of models. But I've got to figure it out for Tuesday...we have to have an idea in our sketch book as well as model to scale.
