Set Design 7/30/08

Hi guys, I think I've narrowed us down to two options - Digital print Vs. Painted plywood. Obviously there are conceptual differences, but the main reason for the comparison is budget. The digital print will probably be $1600 more than the plywood version. However, I do like the version with the digital print better I think.
Things to take notice of: grated window in the wall, door(s) placement in the wall, possibility of using lockers instead of shelving unit. The structure that I have used holding up the wall is a simple modular system based on scaffolding used for safety walkways on streets where construction is taking place. The system would allow for different configurations of our wall for a variety of different theatre types and sizes.
After the model images there are two drawings - one showing the ground plan of Milagro with our set in it. And, the other one is of the two shelving units.

Take a look at the images and please get back to me soon with comments, since my design deadline is technically Friday - Aug.1!! By the way, this may sound silly, but I just want to make sure that you are aware of this feature since it helps to see the images- IF YOU CLICK ON THE IMAGES ON THE BLOG, A WINDOW OPENS UP SHOWING THEM AT A LARGER SIZE.


Thanks, Sibyl
Digital print with and without 'projection' over it (simulated in photoshop!)This version of the model uses plain old plywood sheets with painted over graffiti areas. There are lots of options for where the shelving units can be placed. I think it's important for those units to be built out of old looking plywood or scrap material so that they don't look too misplaced.
Another option for digital print for the wall. It's simpler, but not as interesting as a shape.images showing some inspiration for the 'window' and safety walkway
