When Is a Guitar Not a Guitar?

Mar 01 2011

The question “when a guitar not a guitar?” is not on most people’s lips. But it was on the minds of the MFAD first year students in Kevin O’Callaghan’s 3d Product Reality class.

Kevin gave each student a guitar, and asked to choose a charity and a musician associated with that charity. Students were to use the guitar as a base, and create a symbol which will represent the charity. The goal was to keep the piece “guitar looking” and as functional as possible yet create a visual symbol to become the representation for the charity. The results are now in. . .
