Here are a couple of my sketches made into reality:
This group of sketches were made at a 1" = 1'-0" scale. It was beneficial to start my process here. This scale was very manageable.
This model is at a 2" = 1'-0" scale. This is the scale I will be working with for my final model. I plan to cover the chipboard with a balsa wood facade to create a crate-like cubby shelf. I plan to use orange paper (see model above) to block out the cubes that form a heart. I will then need to make 28 models of my orange packaging (see product below). I have a busy week ahead of me but I am feeling confident on the strength of my design's purpose and intent. I believe my display directly relates to my former designs. I am striving to create a cohesive message throughout the semester.
oh my goodness. "i am beginning to love the process of making models". this is music to my ears. this is almost as good as...well, i have to keep this post G rated. kathleen - i am thrilled to read "They immediately show the strengths and weaknesses of a design". AMEN! i can tell that you've had the "eureka" moment with models and you can see what kind of tool they can be for you as you explore the design process. wonderful! wonderful!
