Basic Design II SPRING 2012: Project 3 : Polyhedral Structures Phase 2

GRAPHIC DESIGN : Packaging Design

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a Packaging Design of an existing or imaginary product.

INTERIOR DESIGN: Wall Structures

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a Wall Structure .

ART: 3D Polyhedral Sculpture

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a 3D Sculpture

ALL SECTIONS:

2. Definition of a Problem:

· Create a three-dimensional form based on polyhedral units.

· The form should be free standing

· It must include negative space in each unit to emphasize rhythm and pattern

· You must apply a color scheme according to the concept of your design

Size requirements:

PACKAGING: Will depend on product you have chosen to design a packaging for

WALL STRUCTURES: At least 12”x12”x 2”.

SCULPTURES: At least 12” x 12 “x 12”

Materials

Bristol board, color, printed or painted paper, translucent materials may be incorporated into this project. You are encouraged to research and experiment wit alternative materials.

3. Research and Preparation:

· Look to the natural and built environment for ideas and inspiration.

· Use white or colored bristol board or another semi-rigid paper that suits the construction method for your design.

4. Analysis

· You should develop at least 5 sketches.

· Based on the sketch concepts, explore your ideas as sketch as 3D models in bristol paper.

5. Synthesis

· Synthesize your sketch models into a final concept. Keep in mind that the design will continue to develop even as you begin to construct the final form.

6. Evaluation:

Make sure that your final design meets all of the project requirements.

7. Presentation

· Use bristol board or any other material that meets the design need.

· Use tape and adhesives that best suit your materials.

· Work neatly and accurately. Quality and craftsmanship is important to the overall design.

8. Implementation:

In your paper should include:

· Sketches

· Photographs of the outcome of PHASE 1 of the project (Various views)

· Photographs of the outcome of PHASE 2 of the project (Various views)

· 1 Paragraph describing your approach in solving the problem in each phase
