On Saturday, March 4, 2017 the Design Committee held an
open Brainstorming meeting to solicit ideas on how to turn the design
concept into a float. Several great ideas were suggested... |
|
 |
 |
| To start the brainstorming session off, the drawing on the right was
presented as some possible ideas of how to turn the concept into a
float. |
 |
|
 |
The Design Committee took the various brainstorming
ideas and started to put together a full float design. The drawing
on the right is a work-in-progress drawing. |
| The Design committee also needs to consider design elements that
don't show up on the rendering, such as the back of the float. |
 |
|
 |
And the Design Committee considered characters that may
appear on the off-camera side of the rendering/float, such as these
tug-of-war sea turtles. |
| The design on the right represents the float as of April 3, 2017 and
will be used by Decorations Committee to start selecting the float
colors. |
 |
|
 |
On April 28, 2017 the Design Committee release this 3/4
view of the line drawing. This is getting closer to what will be
on the final color rendering. |
| On May 12, 2017 the Design Committee released the final line drawing
that the Decorations Committee will use to select the colors. |
 |
|
 |
On Thursday, May 18, 2017, the Design Committee released
this final black and white line drawing and at the General Meeting the
members voted to change the working title from "Clean it Up" to "Sand-Sational
Helpers". |
|
 |
|
On July 6, 2017, the Design Committee released the
final color rendering (see above) |
 |
The Design Committee released this proposed detailed
side signage on August 20, 2017. This will go on the left and
right sides of the float and be very similar in style to the front sign
with the float's title (see color rendering). |
