for this assignment, we were asked to make a 6x6 box for hermle, a german clock company founded in 1922. i used gouache (ultramarine, bronze, and ochre) and watercolour paper, rubber cement to assemble it. i learned that rubber cement was the WRONG choice of adhesive (took forever to dry, didn't stick properly, stained my paint in some spots....) i wish i used double sided tape (grrrr..) LOTS of hours to paint this guy, and lots more hours to assemble it, but overall i'm really pleased with how it turned out. i also think this project helped me really feel confident using gouache paint. it's really hard to get a smooth flat finish.
here's the front of the box, featuring the "h" from the hermle logo, and roman numerals around the clock face.
this is the top of the box, featuring the hermle logo, with stars on a blue background.
this is the back panel, where the label would go (saying what's inside the box), and a text box for description of the product.
this is the right panel, with the moon, stars, and a bronze gear.
this is the left panel, with the sun and a bronze gear. i added a shadow around the gear to help it stand out against the sun.
and my name at the bottom!
