After the discussion last week, it was suggested that to show Holmes' thought process through a physical means. I decided to use a blackboard, which is a symbol for schooling; and it is clear that Holmes' is well educated. Not only this but it corresponds with the Victorian theme, rather than using a whiteboard, or an interactive board; a very modern invention.
From this, I had to consider where I would be placing these boards. They traditionally go on the wall, however this would be impractical so I decided to go for boards that stood at an angle. Not only this, but able to rotate; giving more space to express thought processes.
From my drawing and the new idea of a blackboard, I made a set from cardboard, wire and foam board.
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThese are great 3D sketches - the process itself gives you scope for changing things around, as you have done. I can see what you mean from our conversation earlier today - you'd already done what I'd suggested. This is great to see - a non-precious, dynamic approach to design-through-doing, with an intelligent concept supporting the ideas. You've got to keep this going now before you consolidate t into something final, as there is something so vital about this creative process. I even like the vital crudeness of the cardboard/wire,masking tape aesthetic, like some Kurt Schwitters or Man Ray Dada-ist collage..you should look these up if you're not already aware..there might be potnetial for triggering further ideas therein.
I wonder what kind of blend of genres you will end up with - horror/Victoriana/Dada...?
