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! :)
