THE PRODUCT
A foldable transparent card placed at the entrance of a gallery or an exhibition as a souvenir for visitors.
Visitors can fold it along the perforated dashed line sequentially according to the numbers on it. Every time they fold, the lines will overlap with each other and form a new image in four directions.
They can also put the card in front of their point of view and paintings of any size by adjusting the distance and orientation, then compare their structures. They will discover the hidden perspective and even the mystery in a drawing in an interactive way, making it easy to learn one-point perspective (OPP).
A table will be used for the placement of cards near the brochures for an exhibition.
Unfolded | Folded |
Example: “Saint Jerome in his Study” by Antonello da Messina | After overlapping with the card, it can be seen that the perspective lines are the patterns of the floor and door gate, the position of the cabinets, and more. They all converge at the vanishing point on the horizon line in the drawing. That point is the bible that Saint Jerome was reading, and it implies that his connection with the bible, while he is a very significant figure in medieval Christianity. |

The material of the cards will be PET plastic, polyethylene terephthalate in short, which is a clear, firm, and lightweight plastic. It is also environmentally friendly as it is completely recyclable and sustainable.
The size takes reference from a standard credit card size, which is 85.6 mm wide and 53.98 mm tall for each layer.
Four different designs will be printed separately in CMYK colors with labels in green so that the designs can be seen through and have color changes when they overlap.
Thus, the whole foldable card will be 53.98*4=215.92mm wide.
