My
Character for the second project is Larry the Letterbox. My idea for a
letterbox came from Lebbeus Woods. One of his designs made me think of a
locker, which was one of my other ideas, and then the letter box came from that
idea.
If
I were a letterbox I would imagine that all I would think about each day is
getting mail. That his whole entire life and purpose in life is to just wait
for mail. So that is what Larry does, he just stands around and waits for mail.
So I started to think that if a mail box didn’t have any mail in it but all the
ones around him does, then it would start to feel quite sad and depressed. But
when he gets mail he would then feel amazing and overjoyed. I want Larry to be
one of those letterboxes which have a flag on him so he and everyone else knows
that he has mail. I decided to give him arms so that he can play with his flag
and try to give himself mail just to cheer him up. He will only be able to move
using his stand which is secured to the ground so he can’t just get up and
move.
His
personality all depends on whether he has mail or not. When he has mail he will
be really happy and feel like he has filled his purpose in life. But when he
doesn’t have mail he will be all grumpy and quite depressed. His Flaws are that
he is very quick to change his emotions, and gets very angry easily
Larry
will fit into it just like a normal letter box would. Because he is a letter
box his environment is outside a house. I want my house to be in a somewhat
American Suburban street so that every house, tree, letterboxes are all the
same and in the exact same pattern.
