This project was fun but not easy. I liked the prospect of utilizing my new teardrop shape. Our challenge was to create a display for our packaging. I decided to create a display with the teardrops literally dropping from the ceiling. I also wanted to make it all white (except the branding). I made it 1-1/2" = 1'-0". I couldn't make it any smaller because I would not be able to make the packaging any smaller and I would lose the effect I was trying to convey.
Originally I was going to make a display that hung from the ceiling, in which case I needed to build an actual room around the display. That would require almost as much work as building the display. Also, it would make it difficult to incorporate the branding. So instead I hung the display from a panel that was attached to a wall, which would be attached to the floor and curve up into the counter. To get the effect of the drops surrounding the customer the ceiling of the unit needed to hang out farther than the counter itself. This was incredibly difficult to stabilize as it was very top heavy.
To fix this I built a back wall brace that wedges up against the floor and two triangular brackets. Once I had that in place I hung sample product and added the branding. I still have a few questions for my professor with regards to cleaning it up a little. After all, the whole concept is "polisheed."
Until next time. Cheers!
