The group critique we had in the last class period helped me figure out more details of my project idea. I still plan on going with the recipe box idea, but I've been changing what I want to do with the recipe cards. I will still create the box myself, or possibly buy pre-made one if I see one that is the right dimensions. The box will be very simplistic, so it will only have Merzbow's name and "13 Japanese Birds" on it. However, on the inside it will be a little more disorganized. The "recipe cards" will be in order according to the release date of the CD, but the actual recipe cards would be different from each other. Real recipes in a recipe box rarely look the same, so some cards will be a different color or size than others, some will be typed, and some will be a variety of handwriting. The information on the actual cards will be the liner notes of each CD as well as some information about the bird the CD is based on. In addition to the recipe cards, there will also be other pieces of paper in the box that will resemble torn out magazine articles or newspaper clippings (since every recipe box would most likely contain something from a magazine or newspaper). But instead of a recipe, the piece of paper would be an article about PETA or something about what was going on in Japan at the time the CDs were released.
I haven't looked at materials yet, but I plan to do that this weekend. I'll first be looking for a pre-made box, but I will also look into materials that I could use to create the box myself. Before the next class, I plan on organizing the CD information we were given and also gather information about the various birds.
This is what the recipe box mock-up (7x5x5inches) looks like while open.
Each CD will fit in one of the recipe cards (which will be a folder)
