Currently, I am beginning to explore ideas for the installation aspect of my project. While I know that I would like for the installation to have some sort of three dimensional text, I came across this example of graphic design installation and I feel that this sort of set up could be beneficial for my project. This structure appears to be made from card board, and could be an interesting platform to not only present 3-d text with, but the way it is structured could also work for the poster element, and possibly even to display the t-shirt and supplementary elements that I plan to incorporate for the later steps of my design narrative.
This seems that with careful planning and the correct measurements, a pretty easy set up! I would not include the reindeer, and the overall shape of the example seems to be a mountain, another element that most likely would not be incorporated with my installation. I do like how to the left hand side there is a part that moves outward and seems to serve as a table. The second image is a similar example of three dimensional installation, but with more color! I like how the installation incorporates both wall and floor space. I think the placement of the installation using both wall and a small amount of floor space could be intriguing if applied in an appropriate manner!
I think your idea is great and can not wait to see was kind of platform you create for your final design. I happen to come across this clip, which only has to do with cardboard boxes and nothing to do with your final design, but I thought it would be interesting to share.

That looks great, and I think it'd be a great idea for your project. I remember when, for my 3D Foundations class, we had to make a chair that could be sat upon using only two sheets of cardboard, and the things people came up with were great.
ReplyDeleteThis installation looks great. I love that you're using 3D elements in your piece.
ReplyDeleteI was also reminded of 3D foundations' chair design. They might be working on it now, it would definitely be worth looking into for inspiration of alternative ways to use cardboard. Or talk to Susan Giles, she was my teacher for the class and had great photos of past examples.
ReplyDeleteI was in 3-d class and did do the cardboard chair project, so thankfully i still remember the fundamentals from working with cardboard and how to create a stable structure. I will definitely be painting the cardboard...i don't think plain brown is going to work for my color scheme....lol
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a 3D version of Blik Wall Decals. http://www.whatisblik.com/
ReplyDeleteThey advertise downright aggressively in Juxtapoze.
I saw this on the WGN morning news cast earlier this week. It's an expandable sofa/chair apparatus that can expand to seat 16 people. Although I think this one is made of recycled wood materials, the design may help you in your construction if you can find more information it.

I will be very interested to see what you come through with for your display. Your work seems well suited to transitioning from 2-d to 3-d
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, I can't wait to see your project! I also took 3D design with Susan Giles and remember making my chair out of cardboard into a cricket that you straddle. My idea was to bring bugs to life and enlarge their size.
ReplyDeleteI think 3D is a great way to go! In this example I just love how the text follows the wall in the corner,and think it would be neat for you to explore that as well in your project!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool combination of 3D and text. I wonder if you have a message you're trying to get across that's deeper than using the 3rd dimension. Is there something you're really trying to say with your project? Or is there something you're really passionate about that you could incorporate? Or is it a more abstract concept that doesn't pinpoint any clear issue directly?
ReplyDeleteyou could definitely do something awesome with this!
ReplyDeletei love the first image you posted on this. its such a cool and interesting piece.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty cool. Can't wait to see your final result!
ReplyDeleteI think cardboard is a great material to work with. It's very sturdy and versatile in a 3d context.
ReplyDelete3d is really fun to mess around with! Great idea, can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeletei like that the installation incorporates color. i think this is something to consider when trying to decide what tone you would like to convey with your capstone. if you need help, professor susan giles is well-versed in constructing three-dimensional installations with corrugated cardboard. you can try asking her for help on how to construct your piece!
