Display

This week proved a little more promising than last. Our next challenge was to create a display for our objects. I wanted to showcase the teardrop shape of the package. I thought of possibly mimicking the shape of the Flat Iron Building in New York City. Have you ever seen a luxury apartment in that building? They are worthy of the Chanel name. Another idea was to truly mimic the teardrop shape and create a stand for the package in that shape. The problem with these two ideas is that I still didn’t have a unique way to showcase the package on each of those stands.
After some more exploration I have decided to actually drop the packages, from a wire rack that is. The plan is to make it look like they are dropping from above. I am still creating the model so I only have drawings to share for now. My challenge is creating the model to a scale where the packaging is clear and clean enough and yet the model itself is not oversized. The absolute smallest I can go and still be able to manipulate a copy of the packaging is 2” = 1’-0”. That makes my overall model about 30” tall. We’ll see how that works. Wish me luck.
Cheers!
