Final Synopsis

I narrowed it done to 8 10x10" panels that I was still going to construct in an open-cubism type sculpture.  I printed off the designs in Carnegie and then used WinterGreen Oil to transfer the typography onto my panels.  Each panel was a different color so I had to be careful with my color scheme of the typography.  Some of the type is a little hard to read because I chose too light of a color.  


Overall the structure of it took me the longest. I tried using Gorilla Glue, Hot Glue Gun, Super Glue, and even wire to create the cub structure I was going for, but it just wouldn't stand on it's own.  


After a lot of frustration, I decided that Marinetti's Manifesto had some structure to it, but was still very random and spastic, so I based my new design on those ideas.  With a bottom white foundation as the base, I glued my panels in order at various angles, heights, and widths.  


Overall, I like what I created.  My underline goal was to have the sculpture be readable yet have functionality, and it has both.  The user still has to turn or walk around it to read it in order.  However, sometimes I "gooped" on too much wintergreen oil and some of the words are bolder or double emphasized.  


But, my final ISM project is officially done!
