Alex Sheyn Concept

CONCEPT:

* A book that is actually an interactive packaging concept that has me in doll form, and the user adds icons of my cultural identity to the action figure in a fun and unique way.

Things about me:

* RUSSIAN
* JEWISH
* DESIGN
* MUSIC

THAT, IN OBJECT FORM

* RUSSIAN CAN BE REPRESENTED THROUGH CCCP T-SHIRT, USSR FLAG, SOMETHING LIKE THAT
* JEWISH CAN BE REPRESENTED THROUGH JEWISH STAR CHAIN
* GLASSES FOR VALUE IN INTELLECT?
* BATTERIES INSERT, SWITCH ON BACK TO LIGHT UP EYES. *DECORATE BATTERIES TO LOOK LIKE COFFEE OR CANS OF REDBULL, SOMETHING THAT SYMBOLIZES HOW I GET ENERGY
* BASS GUITAR FOR MUSIC
* SOMETHING FOR DESIGN… COMPUTER? BUT HOW WOULD I ATTACH THAT? MAYBE A SKETCHPAD? OR SOME SORT OF WRITING UTENSIL?
* MAYBE ALSO A CAMERA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY?

ORDER OF BOOK-

* FIRST, INSERT BATTERIES IN FRONT BATTERY CASE, WIRED TO LED EYES THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE YET.
* NEXT PAGE, SAY WHERE I'M FROM, HAVE THAT ON THE T-SHIRT WHICH DOUBLES AS A BATTERY COVER AND CLIPS ON.
* EXPOSE HEAD, SO NOW THE HEAD AND TORSO ARE EXPOSED. TALK ABOUT JUDAISM, ATTACH JEWISH STAR NECKLACE.
* ATTACH BASS, TALK ABOUT MUSIC
* TALK ABOUT DESIGN, ATTACH WHATEVER DESIGN ICON I FIGURE OUT
* TALK ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY, ATTACH A CAMERA
* EXPOSE WHOLE BODY, TELL USER TO FLIP BODY OVER, SWITCH TO ON, EYES SHOULD LIGHT UP
* SOME SORT OF SUMMARY?

CREATION-

* SCULPT ELEMENTS OUT OF CLAY, CREATE MOLDS, CAST IN PLASTIC (KITS CAN BE PURCHASED AT BLICK)
* DRILL HOLES FOR WIRING OF THE LED EYES
* ATTACH T-SHIRT/BATTERY COVER USING THE LATCH OF THE BATTERY COVER, IF THAT DOESNT WORK, CREATE WELL FITTING STRUTS.
* GLASSES CAN ALSO ATTACH WITH A PEG/STRUT IN BETWEEN THE EYES.
* PAINT WHOLE FIGURE WITH THE APPROPRIATE PAINT (FIND OUT WHAT APPROPRIATE PAINT IS FOR PAINTING PLASTIC THAT WON'T CHIP OR PEEL)
* FOR THINGS THAT TAKE MORE DETAIL, PRINT ON PAPER AND GLUE ON, THEN SMOOTH DOWN WITH LACQUER
* CUT PIECES OUT OF THE BOOK SOMEHOW…


Yes, this is very ambitious, but I think I can pull it off if I plan my time well and get a bit of luck.
