That's a Wrap final model.

Next Tuesday the three of us will continue working on our display.  After the Peer critique we were given several good suggestions which we will implement.  Over all, our review was excellent.  We were pleased.

Assignment 5, Stationery + Pens: Retail Display/Kiosk, Group Project

We had a Peer critique earlier in the week for "That's a Wrap", our replacement of "Paper Exotica".  The scale is 3" = 1'-0" Our 4 sided 10 x 10 x 12 high is now covered in exotic paper with a bow on top. The Plexiglas display for our 30" rolls of paper were kept, it was the concept that needed redoing.  Here are photos of the mock-up.

These next photos shows the mock-up, with the drawn plan, and Veera working on the elevation.

It's a Wrap

The It's a Wrap team got together yesterday in preparation for our crit tomorrow morning.  Rose made the 4 sided structure, I did a lot of cutting, and Veera and I made lots of little pieces of rolled paper for our paper rolls. 

Our first crit didn't go well last week, so we've come up with another brilliant idea for our wrapping paper store.  We're going to wrap our building in different colored paper with a bow on top.

We've each collected papers from home and else where to put on the display.  The first idea was draped on rungs, which didn't fly.  This display will be a roll holder where the rolls are placed in a clear Plexiglas's two sided holder.  We'll have two openings, on on either side of the 10 x 10 x12 building.  The rolls were cut from a thin stiff paper that was easy to roll.

We will meet again today at 4 pm to complete the model and do some drawings for tomorrow.
PS  I wish I'd taken photos yesterday to show here!

So much for Paper Exotica!

Our team:  Veera, Rose and myself put together a wonderful project solution, until our critique today.  Shot all to heck.  So much for our global theme!  AND, we didn't take any photos for documentation.  I think we got distracted by all that work and it not being well received.  I'll try to add photos later of our materials for the walls and floor.  After that work of coming up with the exterior of reeded ply glass and paper displayed on cylinders.  Our papers are fabulous, more so with something else.
The scale was correct but Paper Exotica with an international theme wasn't specific enough.  So we began again.

Assignment 4, Stationery + Pens: RETAIL DISPLAY

FIRST BLUE MAIL BOX

We presented our Final Retail Displays today in class.  There was a wide variety of methods to our creatiave madness. 

My First mail box shown above turned out very well, but I know it could be improved so I did it again.  For the FINAL model of the Display, I cleaned up the execution by using a different glue, making it slightly more compact and adding a post to the bottom.

I put a lot of time into it and am proud of how it turned out.  I have several comments about the materials I used, for example the Elmer's glue held better and I used wooden dividers for the memos instead of foam.  I also included a bright label to get the attention of the customer which reads "Send it in a Memo",  Also I put an unaddressed envelope which was meant to be filled in by the customer.
