My plan for the applications turned out to be more complicated than I had originally thought. Patrick suggested that I paint something like coasters to look like applications.
I bought cork squares, cut them into smaller squares with an exact-o knife, and then rounded all of their edges. Considering cork falls apart when it's cut, (who knew?), this took some careful maneuvering.
I could never replicate the perfection of the computer graphics of the applications, so I want to instead paint them in a somewhat abstract way, so that each app. is recognizable, but more artsy-fartsy. Lots of paint, fast strokes, etc.
I set them on the base to gauge any sizing issues, but I won't be just setting them on it in the end. When they're finished I'm going to have them sticking off of the base with dowel rods that are painted black like the background. This will raise them off of the base by about 4 inches.
This was probably my favorite part of Patrick's idea because it makes my project more of an art instillation piece, and it becomes much more interactive this way.
