REGARDING THE ASSIGNMENT
PROJECT COMPONENTS
Signing | Various interactive objects | Artwork | Animation
We felt privileged to develop educational objects for the historic gelada building. We were truly inspired by the beautiful appearance of this remarkable building. We even consulted mum to confirm the artistic style - Art Deco, as it transpired - and armed with this knowledge, we crafted our designs. The outcome? Five interactive features that not only complement the building's atmosphere but also embody the unique 'Peerdrops factor'. A good example of this is the bum bench: a fun spot where kids can engage in the gelada butt quiz using their bottoms. 😁
INTERESTING FACT
"Hey mum, what was it again?"
"So, Jugendstil and Art Nouveau are basically the same; lots of plants, flowers, Mucha - very romantic. Art Deco came as a response to that. It's more business-like, angular, straighter. The space where your objects will be placed is Art Deco. So, let's not get too curly with the designs!"
"Cheers, mum!" ❤️
