1. A product rendering of an ipod on green paper- It was suggested that everything be colored lime green. Using the paper to add the color will work nicely.
2. A product rendering of an ipod on green paper painted silver- Coloring the objects silver was another idea. This will basically be the same as the previous one, but it might have silver leafing and the positioning will be different.
3. A picture of a radio- This is just what it sounds like. Black and white might make it more interesting, though.
4. Impressionistic painting of a radio- The radio in this picture will be based on the previous one. The difference will be that only the essential elements for recognition will be reproduced in primary colors.
5. Photograph of a tape player in use- The tape player photographed while some has headphones plugged into it. The player itself will of course be the main focus.
6. Tape player with tape- The actual player will be displayed. It will be open with a tape coming halfway out.
7. Photogram of CD player- A photogram will be made of a CD player on its side. I might include a CD in image as well.
8. No CD Player- A CD will sit atop a couple of batteries and next to some head phones as if the player is invisible. Other parts from the player might be good to put in as well.
9. Original Gramophone drawing- I think it would be nice to include the grammophone drawing from the original collection. I don't know if I should photocopy it or redraw it bigger.
10. Green Gramophone- This one will be basically the same as above, just painted green. Or maybe I'll include the mini gramophone pencil sharpener I have instead.
I want to display the collection in about three or four specimen boxes with museum archive tags for identification. I may or may not stick pins in them like bugs; It depends on what sort I can find. Or maybe in preserving jars like in a science lab.
I think the idea of using the color paper can tap into the strategies behind recent advertisement campaigns for ipods that stress a series of solid colors. It is also interesting to depict technologies that became "obsolete" over time. You can investigate the notion of technological progress as well as the consumer culture's constant hunger for the "new" and "better."
