skool work

In concept development we had to design a clock not using traditional means of numbering or telling time.  I also added to my task to design with a more feminine color palette as someone in class last week mentioned that men and women tend to design in different hues, shades, and tints.  Here I used some of the pinks and purples from the "be cute" posters.  To further emphasize the feminine attributes I used a highly decorative, victorian in feel, border for the clock face.
To address the assignment's needs I was originally going to show the passage of time through aging or an evolutionary scale, but then I knew someone else in class would do the same thing (and they did!), so I further explored the idea of something transforming into something else.  Here I used a 12 step diagram of an origami giraffe, the simple paper origin being the one spot and the final product being the twelve.  To further distance this as not being a standard time piece I decided not to use hands to mark the positions on the face, and instead a projected shadow is used.
