Back to school — representing myself in a pop-up shop

First assignment of the semester: Represent yourself in some way via a non-traditional media form. 

I picked pop-up stores, and designed Word Play, a place where people could find words, make up their own, and string together stories out of them. 

I'm no artist and rather messy (seriously, I should have been more careful with the Gorilla Glue). So it's more about the idea than the presentation. But it was a fun start to the semester.

The overview shot... (It's a little wobbly as I used some warped foam board leftover from mounting ads for critique last year.)

Card catalog of all words...

Staff picks...

Make your own words out of loose letters, plus a trash can for jargon...

And, finally, a comfy place to string it all together (plus a crossword puzzle for breaks)...

Hope your September is off to as goofy a start as mine!
