Day 1 of Making

Bought 10 A1 pieces of grey board today… hopefully this should be enough to make the whole thing!

Here are my “to scale” plans:

face view from inside the booth (if you were sitting on the chair)

view from outside the booth

side view

end of day 1

This is where I had trouble with my measurements. I didn’t make the top long enough. It was 15 cm, now its 40… hopefully this will work now. But this is the annoying thing about not being able to actually putting these pieces together. Unfortunately I can’t put it all together until im in the studio, otherwise I wont be able to transport it to college… also I can’t hammer nails, or hooks or shelves into these walls. Fingers crossed I can get this all done in time.

Monday morning, assemble the whole thing. Then that will leave tues and wed to finish it off, practice on people… and do evaluation. LOTS OF WORK!

Tomorrow- plan is to get the graphics done (instructions, and anything else that will go on it, and maybe make a start on evaluation and paperwork)

Making

There is no generic photo booth that everyone knows, apart from the modern passport ones. Its not like something like a phone box, which everyone immediately think of the red phone box.

… so I’m not entirely sure whether to replicate the modern ones, or make my own one up.

This is the modern one at the moment that seems to be the only one I have ever seen. This could look quite good if I replicated it perfectly. The inside already seems to look like a Gameboy!

Only problem will be finding card big enough…. Maybe the outside will have to be out of wood, and I’ll paint it the same colour.

When I replicate these buttons, you won’t be able to actually press them

I’ll try my hardest to replicate the money slot bit. The graphics have to be EXACT!

The only thing I am going to try and change are these instructions! These are going to be altered according to HOW I want my viewers to smile… need to work on these. It’ll be a similar layout, (probably using my own face) and the instructions will be more like NO DOUBLE CHINS, NO GUMMY SMILES..etc everything that is unnatural. Then the correct smile will be a forced, awkward and stiff one.
