FINAL MODEL!

And the last stage is here. The last step before the final destination. The final model for the project! Yes, it took me truck loads of time and hard work, but I can proudly say that I am finally done with it. And I promise, you guys won't be disappointed. :D

As you would have already seen in my previous posts, I had to redesign the book shelves of my book shop in an effort to make them more convenient and customer-friendly. So I decided on taking sunboard as my material for the outer structure as well as for the detailing.

Have a look, peeps!

Book Shelves for First Floor

 

And this brings me to an end of this beautiful blogging journey of mine. It's been a reallyyyyy long way, but I have to confess that blogging changed me in a whole different way and helped me improve my writing skills at an infinite level. And with you guys beside me, motivating me and suggesting me ways to improve myself at every point, it wasn't that tough afterall. I am gonna miss this, I swear!

But I promise to get back to blogging again as soon as I manage to get some time out of my "horrifyingly busy-looking future". This time, with better words. ;)

Until next time, see you <3

Ideate till you live!

Hola, guys! After the super long process of working hard and wishing "oh-when-will-this-get-over", I am back with the next dish on the menu- Ideation for design solutions.


Ideation was one of the most important stair on my ladder to the final model because this was where I was going to decide what exactly am I gonna make at the end. What made it more difficult was the fact that my shop did not have sufficient space and a very huge stock of books. So I had to design something which was not only new-age and trendy, but also something which could be a space-saver and very convenient for the shopkeeper as well as the customers.

So after a lot of thinking, doodling and Pinteresting, I came up with different book shelves for each floor of my shop, depending upon the category and the stock.

For the basement, which was the Children's Section, I came up with book shelves in the form of a 'jigsaw puzzle' which were arranged in the form of a 'small hut', with a drawer at the end for storage space for extra books.

For the ground floor, which including General Books and the Billing Counter, I firstly redesigned the billing counter in a way that it didn't take up extra space and could accommodate new arrivals or best-sellers at its sides. After that, I designed closed booked shelves for other books so that the entry area does not look too stacked up and the people get more breathing space in the shop.

Last but not the least, for the first floor which included all the other sections like Fashion, Jewellery, History, Business, Health etc, I designed book shelves in a different shape and colour alternatively so that the customers find it easy to differentiate the various sections and the books get accommodated perfectly within them.

Now, this leaves me with just one last step to go, ie, the final model. Hold your breaths, people. I'll be back with it pretty soon! :)

Boards!

Hello, good fellows!
My last post must have given you a fair deal of idea about what have I taken up as my Opportunity Area, which in turn is going to be my main concept and is going to reflect in my Concept Board, Inspiration Board, Mood Board, and Consumer Board.

So without further ado, here are my boards-
