01/10/22 - Our Pit Display - Entry 41

 Now that we are back into real life competitions, the pit display has become a really big element that we need to complete. We need to design it, print the graphics, and manufacture it!

In pro class, we are judged on sustainability, content and visual appearance. All we are given is a 1x2m table and we have to build it around, the hardest part being transporting the items. We have designed three different initial ideas for our pit display: 



The top design is V1, and the middle is V2 and the bottom is V3.

When designing V1 we wanted to show off our merch and and cars as best as possible. We came up with a podium style design to fit with the F1 theme, and included our iconic three stripes. We also made smaller coasters at the front to display our cars in an evolution. 

When designing V2 and V3, we wanted to incorporate more organic and flowing shapes into the pit display, through shelves. V2 has lower shelves which allow more space for graphics however hide the displayed items at the back. V3 has higher shelves which show off the items better but create less space for the graphics. 

In the end, we decided on altering V3 slightly, so that the front shelves create a podium like V1, but still keeping the organic shapes which are so important to our branding. We are now working on a BoM for the pit display, making the graphics, and sourcing the materials.
