One of the main components of our project is serving the need of our clients, the staff of the Weatherspoon Art Museum. To do this, we had to establish and maintain a relationship with a few of the Weatherspoon's key players, Nancy Doll, the director of the museum and the gift shop manager, Kate.
Here is a list of things that she originally requested:
[1] Materials. That would echo the feel of the shop itself, using similar materials to those that existed in the shops shelving units such as birch and frosted plexiglass.
[2] Safety. It was extremely important that this cabinet be user friendly and safe. She stressed that the shelves be high enough from the group that, "children could not hang on them."
[3] Sturdy. Kate was initially concerned about the heaviness of the cabinet, especially after the merchandise had been added. She requested we spend special time securing the cabinet so that it runs no risk of tipping over during motion.
[4] Clear Shelving. The merchandise in the gift shop is very special to Kate and to the museum staff and they want to share it with all Weatherspoon's visitors. She wanted to have clear shelving on the doors so that the merchandise placed on them will be visible through the shelving walls.
[5] Weatherspoon Green. The color we all love.... It is the Weatherspoon's theme color, featured on various signs and pamphlets throughout the museum. She requested that this color be included somewhere on the cabinet, to define it's identity and relationship to the museum.
