Sommelier’s Knife | Corkscrew
fall 2020CHANNEL: Print
PROJECT BRIEF:
Conduct a physical examination of an ordinary object by taking into account its angle, shape, details, and a relevant prop.
MY TAKE:
Everyday objects, like the Sommelier’s Knife, have fascinating and quirky backstories. Originally designed as a model of war and used to clean musket barrels, the Sommelier’s Knife holds a rich history. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, creative solutions like a DIY Lightbox were used to photograph the corkscrew for further examination.
WHAT I LEARNED:
It was great to learn how to convey different messages through the use of images and minimal type.
