Putting my final display together was a challenge. I had to reconstruct the top portion. I added triangle pieces to each side of the sign to give the same and stability needed. I also made the bottom of the sign larger which took a few of the product holes. I added plastic tubing to reinforce the holes that the samples it in. I then repainted the base with 2 more coats of black. I really struggled with getting the graphics on vellum. I tried several printers and stores. In the end, I printed the graphics on separate clear sticker pages and pieced them together on a piece of vellum. I was happy with this effect of the front but it had a few noticeable flaws on the back side. To cover us seams, I covered the sides with white wrapping paper that I purchased at The Paper Source. I trimmed the bottom with a black satin ribbon to get the glossy look of the base. All in all, I am very happy with the final result. Given more time, there are things that I would change and tweak but I feel that I created a realistic and functioning display.
On to the next challenge....
Paige came up with a great concept to create cutouts on the ceiling to allow natural light into the space. She constructed the ceiling and the back wall. She also made a rendering for our pin up. Rachel created the amazing triangular shelving on the side wall. After scrapping the models that the night before, I created the asymmetrical column to support the front of the structure. We really work great as a team. Professor Leshinsky provided feedback along with our fellow classmates. It was extremely helpful and we are working with adding a smaller display unit on the front right to help define the space.
