The Collective- Proposal

To link with our theme of metal, together as a collective we have created a series of boxes, each having a different shape, size and pattern to hold various different types of metal objects. These boxes use shape and form with them having their various geometric and angular shapes, this gives an industrialised feel to our collective, we used this because heavy industrial machines are made predominantly of metal and contain gears, screws and pop rivets which links well with our theme.

To contrast the heavy grid boxes based on thick metal machinery, in the negative space we'll be using the fluid line and reflective sheen of flowing and light metallic jewellery. This gives the boxes a softer layer making our collective look less bold and harsh.

Finally, by using metallic paints it gives the feel of boxes constructed using metal. The paint creates a distressed texture of scratches and rust which visually communicates a feeling of being stripped away being left exposed.
