SketchUp Elevator - Donatella Versace



Rough and harsh looking - but still posessing a certain elegance - visible to some but not others. This elevator is inspired by any one of the images of Versace you can find on google. Her fake, plastic 'beauty' rivals her power and wealth. In this way, I have created something that will look beautiful in motion, but motionless, its harsh shapes and angles cause it to look undesirable. The elevator opposes the one used by Jobs in that the rider is completely exposed. I believe this to more closely reflect versace's nature, extravagent and outgoing. It almost serves as a platform to promote versace, but this is juxtaposed by the motion of the elevator going downwards, equalising the two clients. The elevator itself posesses a mini runway, which is representative of the root of versace's power.
