About the Margate colour wheel.
Margate colour wheel is a group project that Thomas Ruck and
I collaborated on.
The product is a pin wheel that is in the shape of a wind
turbine that has been 3D printed . The idea is that you can customize the detachable
blades that will be made out of paper, along with a modern twist to the classic
pin wheel.
About the project.
The project was run
by Future Foundry for Turner Contemporary who wanted a product that could be
sold in the gallery shop.
The project lasted four weeks and by the end of it we had to show a proto
type of the item. There was eleven artists
including me working on this project so we decided that we would go under the
name 'Wantsum works' as a team but we
would have our own individual group
names, there was five groups altogether.
My part in the project.
My part in the project was to created the CG animated version
of the product , that demonstrated how you put the item together as well as a
360spin of the item. I created the final look for Margate colour wheel logo. And the
instructions layout (not the info on it).
Thomas's Part in the project.
Thomas's part in the project was to create the actual 3D
printed model, with previous experience with the 3D printing company we were
using he knew what would print and how to reduce cost in the
model within the time we had. And the info in the instructions.
How the project ended.
The project started on the 11/3/14 / We present on the 9/4/14/ and we were all surprised
when we were told that Turner wanted all the products for the gallery shop.
