As always, sketches are indesposible as a brain-storming tool in the creative process.
Even if the ideas seem a little far-fetched...

Some of the most interesting designs on paper would unfortunately never quite work out in reality.

However, some ideas do end up creating beautiful end-products.

Lauren, warping a paper mock-up of a spherical design.
We
then
entered
the
physical
stage
of
production.

....and then a curly-cue variation, ...and another.

...and another, and another,

We made sure to document every idea we had, just in case one turned out to be spectacular.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Many valiant ideas gave their lives during the
process of this project, and while they did not
come to full fruition, they will not be forgotten.
RIP.
None
more
dissapointing
Than
paper
mache.

However, we finally found which idea fit our goals best.
![Page 12: Three-Dimensional Typography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020321/568bdd381a28ab2034b504a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The exactly placement was something that we debated for a long time.
![Page 13: Three-Dimensional Typography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020321/568bdd381a28ab2034b504a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We ended up with a right angle design that resembles a book-end.
![Page 14: Three-Dimensional Typography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020321/568bdd381a28ab2034b504a1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We also loved the design because of the diverse angles of viewing.
![Page 15: Three-Dimensional Typography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020321/568bdd381a28ab2034b504a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It’s visually interesting and appealing from many angles in the round.

And so we got to work with the large scale-mock-
up! The plan was to use cardboard squars to
make the thickness of the curve.

The
full
scaled
killer
end
product
From start to finish, the design was evident in all stages of the design process.

We originally planned on making the C’s out of clay but sadly the clay kept cracking. We spent time trying to figure out ways to pre-vent the cracks from happening. We added more clay, re-wet the old clay, used paper towels to try and make the clay dry from the inside out, nothing seemed to stop the cracks from happening. So we decided to change our materials and try and come up with a new solution.
Enter, paper mache 2.0

It worked! the next step, of course, was the final coating of paint.
Due to a blizzard, we had to McGuiver a paint box in my basement to control fumes...
everyone was safe!

The finished product! We decided to use a hammered texture black spray paint as opposed to a matte black because it looked more finished
along with the paper mache texture.
Looking at the finished product in it’s final position, it reflects the important aspects of the
original design, while still growing into an interesting object from many perspectives.
