My Setup Process

At first when thinking of a GradEX setup I always thought I would be placing my work on a table. On the first draft of my setup I just wanted a table that could hold a monitor for my website, my stickers and a book shelf for my books. The second iteration of my setup didn’t change too much, except that I took out the book shelf and placed my books on the table. It was the same idea but more organized and more defined. After some feedback I realized that I needed to put more thought into my setup.

Final GradEX Setup

After taking some time to reflect on my setup after my midterm critique I wanted to improve my setup to further suit my overall project. Before starting I had to think of this task as a design challenge, as the set is not just placing things on a table; it’s something that is an extension to my work that will enhance its presentation. I no longer needed a table anymore because I took out my website project, so that meant no more monitor. The goal of the set up was to create a comfortable space for people to be able to read my books. Going to place that have reading areas for children helped me set up mine.

For my set up I wanted to have a big comfy beanbag for children and parent could sit down and feel comfortable. I brought back my shelf to hold my books and takeaways, I had to put them in a place where it’s at an arm reach when people are sitting down. I also placed a giant leaf that hovers above the bean bag, which adds to the wildlife atmosphere. I was definitely happier with my current set which suits my project and caters to children.
