For this brief i decided that i would design a cd rack. current cd racks i feel lack a connection to music as they are mostly just metal towers or plastic stands that have no link whatsoever to what they are storing; music. with that in mind i wanted to design a rack that had this connection. i came across my mothers vinyl record collection and realised that it was exactly what i was looking for, both a flat packable material and a material that has a direct connection to music. From this i wanted to folllow the curve semi circle shape of the record so designed it so the cd's would follow the angle of the curve. this i feel adds movement to the design and creates something quite aesthetic. i used alluminium as the base material becasue it is both light and strong whilst looking sleek against the matte black of the record. it also makes a great gift.
