The project was to create a table display for a presentation, by the client, about the 'first free standing make up brushes'. The brushes were displayed on a new TV show for Channel 4 (that is yet to air) and the project needed to be designed and completed within 5 days. The table display needed to be lightweight and easy to assemble. Due to the clients busy schedule we were given full creative control and created the stands based on one meeting. Working with a tight budget and timescale was a great freelancing experience.

Design Sketches

Due to the limited timescale the final idea had to be created within a few hours and the final design was an ongoing process. This is the initial design that was created based on the clients taste and ideas.

The Back Boards

Constructed from foam board and wrapped in paper, the back boards are lightweight and easy to assemble. They have a foldable back panel that allows them to be flat-packed and slotted into the bases when they need to be free standing

Layout planning

Each board was laid out before hand to check they all worked together and the materials were evenly distributed.

The Finished background

The layout of the background was completed first so we would then know how to best arrange the stand for the make up brushes.

Stand Layout Planning

This is an example of one of the layouts we rejected. We felt due to the backdrop the brushes needed more height and attention on the table.

Final Stand layout

We decided to use this formation of boxes to display the brushes. The height complimented the backdrop and the shape allowed us to add a fish motif that the client asked for.

Final Layout Check

Before all of the components were glued together we did a final layout check and sent it to the client for any final feedback.

Final Table Display

This is the finished table display on the clients table. The back boards are able to be flat packed for easy transportation and everything is very lightweight so the client can carry everything herself. The assembly time for the whole display is under 5 mins and there is enough space for the client to do a demonstration.
