Blog That Assignment 004

Always Consider The Light:
For my groups project we have designed a cabinet that will be put in the lobby area of the Weatherspoon Art Museum.  We have incorporated natural light to enhance the cabinets interior.  We decided to do away with the use of artificial lighting simply because of cost and the fact that we want to keep the cabinet simple and be easily able to move around to any location and not have to be near an outlet to be plugged up.  We incorporated natural lighting by including an acrylic piece that covers the entire top of the cabinet to let light in.  Also, all of the shelves below the top will be made of acrylic material as well.  This will allow the light to pass all the way through the entire cabinet and not just stop at the top shelf.  On the shelves some of the merchandise will be displayed.  It will be easily seen due to the strong natural light coming into the cabinet.  This should direct peoples attention to the cabinet and hopefully make them want to take a look at the merchandise in it that is for sale.  This should spark peoples interest by making them not only appreciate the beauty of the cabinets architecture, but also to notice the objects for sale which will in the end make the customers want to go inside the gift shop to see more!
