This is the text that I had to work with:

Door

A door is a particular formal solution to opening a vertical plane between two spaces, permitting both their separation and their connection….Doors then acquire their meaning of actual passage within a context of a code of openings, through their opposition to windows, for instance, which represent only visual passage. Staircases, which represent vertical passage, are seen in opposition to the horizontal passage suggested by doors and windows.

Using both of these elements, I was to create three compositions that related to text-heavy, image-heavy and equal layouts. Another curveball was that I couldn’t use photoshop, except to position the type. Instead, I was told to print out sections of the image, manipulate them by using a copier to stretch, shrink, expand, duplicate, lighten and darken. Here are my three approaches:

First, I needed to sand off the paint that was currently on the table. Once this was done, I primed the plastic with a plastic spray paint primer. Before painting the table, I needed to tape off the sections with the design I created earlier. First two equilateral triangles were made; Each measuring 14″ and centered on each side of the table. I then made a 1″ border around these triangles and another 1″ border around that border. This will create a 19″ equilateral triangle on both sides so that 10 and 6 cup Beer Pong can be played. I then taped off the two middle stripes, both measuring with 1″ widths. Using acrylic paint, I painted 3 coats of bright yellow and 2 coats black. Once the table was dried, I began to stencil the logos for each school. I then painted, 2 coats of black, 2 coats of white, 3 coats of yellow, 2 coats of brown, and 1 coat of gray. After finishing the logos, I stenciled out the logos to be placed on the sides of the table: Under Armour, Chipotle, Chick-Fil-A and Warrior Lacrosse. Once these logos were painted, I let the table dry for 24 hours. Triple Thick Gloss was then applied evenly over the table, sealing the paint from being exposed to any liquids. 1 heavy coat was applied and then a touch up coat was applied 12 hours afterwards to areas that might have been missed. After 24 hours of drying the table was ready to be handled.
