Slice

3D design - Transform 

I was given a word (slice), and then had to interpret that word in my own way, then create a 3D representation of my word. 

I came up with the idea of imagining what certain foods would look like if had taken a slice (or shaving, slither or cross section) from it. I stuck to sandwiches, teas, buns and glasses of pop. 

I tried to keep to certain colour themes and the original colours of the actual foods. I also did double-sided cross sections so it would look more realistic. I then used a strip of plastic to support the objects. 

The objects were arranged in size (smallest to largest) and were cut into to fit into the slot in the plastic. 

After I looked at the finished result, I thought that the gaps between the objects was too large and didn't get the effect I wanted. So I then tried to imagine what it would look like with some food related objects inbetween them. 

I needed the objects to fill in some gaps, and also gradually build up the height. 

I stuck to cutlery and crockery to fill in the gaps and link to the food idea. It looked much better and more filled out. It also showed off the height increase. 

Below is the finished outcome which I am very pleased with. If I had some more time on the project I would have probably took the time to make more cross sections of food to fill the structure out even more. But the bendy plastic may have snapped if I cut more slots into it, weakening it each time.
