Okay, so here’s the latest & greatest for the *f*Empower project. Thanks so much for all your feedback before as it helped to pushed to me to an antiquey feel for this project. I also became a total ebay junkie bidding on stuff for this installation. Ebay seriously saved my project here as I have no car to go out and find props like this in person.
I’m planning on displaying the boxes (in series of 3) stacked in small pyramids on the table (shown). I think I’m going to keep the table white as it sorta bridges the gap between antique furniture & store display. (Although I’ll have to see how it looks assembled and guesstimate for the space.) I’m thrilled that I was abled to find 3 props that had a heart shaped motif. As you can see, I also carried this over into the design and I think it adds an interesting element, since a heart shape is usually fairly innocent. I’m really digging the whole antique thing in general. There’s something slightly off about it that I love…
I also am using a killer typeface element for this that I came across while researching my other props. The heart design on the top of the boxes is actually 2 digbats one of them from a genius typeface called “Great Circus”. (Yes, I totally get excited about fonts.) Anyway, this beautiful font had really helped to push my project further and tie in an antique feel in the design as well. I feel good about the direction I moving in and will start comping these boxes this week.
Will send pix soon (I promise) as this starts to take over my apartment and become an installation.
