I knew that I wanted to go for a 4 foot by 4 foot square. This allows for 16×16 3″ squares which is just enough for a lot of simple old school sprites. Plus, I just think squares look better. I had to cobble together some additional panels from some smaller pieces of Foam Core I had lying around. I’m pretty happy with the results. I also changed the design and added some more white into the mix. Changing the design took about 30 minutes.
This was my first attempt at PostIt art. I found a pretty cheap 36×48 Foam Core board at Office Depot and drew a grid of 3″ squares. I figured the grid would make it much easier to place the squares – especially if I didn’t want to build them in a specific order. Unfortunatley for now, this is a pretty big, blank wall that kind of dwarfs the “art.” All in all it turned out pretty well and I learned that the 3″ squares work pretty well as a size but aesthetically, the 48×48 square is the way to go.
This is my blog chronicling my experiment in building an affordable interchangeable mosaic system.
