The Oxo Cube Project
The Oxo cube packet I found on Google images, so it was unknown to me who scanned the image onto the Internet in the first place.
Without realising it, I decided to use this image to be printed out on an A1 scale. This was a mistake that I later realised after the printing was finished.
The dimensions, which looked correct, were actually wrong.
All the sides of the box were correct, it was the top and bottom parts of the Oxo cube that didn’t add up.
Through my confusion, I realised that whoever scanned the original image, did not scan the packet flat.
This meant that the top and bottom of the box was slightly too short, in order to reconstruct it on a larger scale.
This was a lesson learned on my part, and from now onwards I will scan the packaging flat myself, so I know it will be accurate.
Although I was disappointed with this piece, I could still use it in another way.
So I reconstructed the piece and glued it all together apart from the top or lid of the box.
This I would then fill with some compost another student had.
The idea of the compost was to still give the effect of Oxo granules.
