Display: Final





In the end, I decided to add a little hint of color which did bring out the beauty of my landscape idea. I stuck little pillars inside to space out the sheets of board. I wish you could see the lovely layers of color where the brochures are. I may take photos of this display at different angles and share them as well.

Display: Reflection

My goodness, I've seriously jumped around on my idea for this project. First, let me explain again what my display is. For my display, I decided to approach it in artistic way. I created a mountain inspired shelf that holds numerous maps. A map was an object that I chose to work with for the remainder of the semester. We all had to choose an object, and I am happy my object had some meat to it. The layers of "ground" is topographic model-making inspired. Ok, now to explain my display process.

I went from a general display case to a complicated wood structure, to now the one I am working on now, the museum board map shelf. Maybe this shelf isn't quite functional, but I wanted to steer clear from being too literal, and show that I do have design abilities. I have two variations that will be done for tomorrow's class. Pending on how much time I have to complete it (not much between now and then) I will either present this model in full scale, just museum board, or it will be completed in full, with hints of color.
