'poster display'project design concept

In this project, our aim is to design a poster display, which should have the following features:
• From recycled and eco-friendly materials
• Lightweight
• Strong
• Functional
• Ergonomic
• Storable/ demountable
• Portable
• Robust
• Aesthetic
• Easy poster-placement and removing
In order to combine all these properties in one product we conducted a broad research on eco-friendly and recycled materials. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) was the material, which was not only eco-friendly, but also very useful in producing a lightweight and strong product. It is a widely used thermoplastic polymer. In terms of revenue generated, it is one of the most valuable products of the chemical industry. Around the world, over 50% of PVC manufactured is used in construction. As an industrial material, PVC is cheap, durable, and easy to assemble. In recent years, PVC has been replacing traditional building materials such as wood, concrete, clay, and aluminium in many areas. PVC has some negative effects on the nature, if it was dropped to the environment. But now, plastic materials are not dropped to the waste, instead, they can be recycled by newly-developed process.
Polyvinyl chloride is used in a variety of applications. As a hard plastic, it is used as vinyl siding, magnetic stripe cards, window profiles, gramophone records (which is the source of the term vinyl records), pipe, plumbing and conduit fixtures. The material is often used in Plastic Pressure Pipe Systems for pipelines in the water and sewer industries because of its inexpensive nature and flexibility. PVC pipe plumbing is typically white, as opposed to ABS, which is commonly available in grey and black, as well as white.It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely-used being phthalates. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery, and to make flexible hoses and tubing, flooring, to roofing membranes, and electrical cable insulation.

After considering the information above, we decided to use PVC.



Information about the components of the poster display:

The cadkey drawing of the poster display as following:







The poster display which we designed consists of 6 main parts: feet, body, legs, display drawer, transparent cover and turning bars.
1) Feet: As it is the case for the whole body, feet are also made of PVC. They provide the static balance of the poster display. The modular structure of the poster display starts with the feet. Legs are montaged to the feet by the holes in the middle of each feet. Both feet have following dimensions: 60cm x 5cm x 1cm.

2) Legs: A leg is one of the most important components of the poster display. A leg has two main functions. It provides the static balanca of the display by holding the main body. A leg has following dimensions: 200cm x 2cm x 2cm. There is a hole in each leg at the level of 160cm above the floor. These holes are used to connect the legs to main body.

3) Turning Bars: there are two turning bars in each poster display. These 3cm bars enter the holes in legs and in the body. After the assembly during the production, these bars will remain constant and will not move during the rotation of the body.


4) Body: body can be thought of as a one piece frame. It holds the display drawer, trasnparent cover and the poster being displayed. It is connected to legs by the turning bars. It can rotate around the turning bars.

5) Display Drawer: It is placed in the body frame. Display drawer helps changing the poster. It can easily be removed by pulling upwards.

6) Transparent cover: Its function is to protect the poster and make it visible. It is the only component that will not be made of PVC. It will be made of glass.
