Glit-Tiara Kiosk continued

In thinking further about what the experience should be for the child entering the Glit-Tiara kiosk, I believe that the tiara and gem selection activity could be the start of a Glit-Tiara Princess wardrobe, which can be obtained through a catalog given out within the kiosk. Also I have thought more about what the kiosk should represent on the exterior - perhaps castle walls with the tiara above it. The child would enter the magic colorful Glit-Tiara castle. be given a magic wand with which to choose her tiara and proceed to select the jewels to be set into the tiara. She would stand within the tiara shadow circle while awaiting her completed tiara and proceed outside to the throne to be crowned and photographed with a fancy robe on. Her tiara would then be placed on a satin pillow in a open box and wrapped with cellophane and a bow.

    Back of kiosk

 
Front of kiosk.



Elise, Cassie and I have made three models of our kiosk so far, The third is pictured above. In class on Thursday, we settled on colors for the exterior and a preliminary floor plan for the gem stations,display area, assembly, coronation throne and pay and wrap. Our product containment will be finalized at point of purchase with the bottom of a box filled with a velvet pillow for the tiara to rest upon.The box will be wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with a bow.

Foundations Assignment #5 - Group Project - Kiosk

For our group project, Elise, Cassie and I have chosen a whimsical object - a tiara for a little girl
princess. We are going to build a kiosk for making a tiara of one's choice - style and gem stones
to be applied. In class on Wednesday we built a quick kiosk model. I have worked on a preliminary
tiara facade to apply to the top of the model on Tuesday. I have also explored how we will apply
graphics to the tiara facade, We all liked Minya Nouvelle (left), but it does not fit as nicely with the
tiara design as RaggMoppNF ( middle & right). The branding so far is Glit-Tiara - a combination
of glitter and tiara.

Final Display for Venetian Glass Necklace

I have finished the final display for my Venetian glass necklace - with attention to the detail of all nine pieces. Geometrically challenging as it was, I learned a lot about using the 30/60 triangle on my drafting board and the value of making models. As I made the pieces I recognized more and more ways to assemble them. The
realization that I could float the two towers was a surprise as the star formation in the middle of my necklace
box had been.The suggestions from my student associates turned out to improve the overall model. Since it requires one to circumnavigate the display to see all of its angular forms, the photographs are not a full representation of the 3 dimensionality of the model. Printed on 80 pound laser paper, the graphics are simplified variations of my necklace packaging box.
