Second-year Pre-Media Technology student Karen West put in over 40 hours designing and producing a full-sized concert harp, standing five to six feet tall. What\u2019s more impressive? The harp is made completely out of cardboard. And her hard work recently paid off.<\/p>\n

The Association of Independent Corrugated Converters (AICC) named West the First Place winner in the Corrugated as Art category of the 2016 Student Packaging Design Competition.<\/p>\n

Along with the First Place title, West also won a $500 cash prize and an all-expense paid trip to Orlando, Florida, to attend the AICC\/TAPPI SuperCorrExpo<\/a> Conference in October.<\/p>\n

\"HarpAICC Corrugated as Art Competition<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The annual AICC Student Packaging Design Competition honors the best student designs entered in three distinct categories. This year\u2019s Corrugated as Art category asked students to design a musical instrument of their choosing and build it completely out of corrugated cardboard. The final product needed to be one-of-a-kind and not commercially reproducible.<\/p>\n

By entering into the competition, students have the opportunity to showcase their talent and creativity to corrugated packaging and display professionals from around the world.<\/p>\n

\"Harp,West designs and builds life-size harp<\/strong><\/h6>\n

West used ArtiosCAD to design each piece of the harp individually. West then cut the pieces on the College\u2019s Esko Kongsberg V20 CAD cutting table<\/a> and assembled them by hand to form the harp.<\/p>\n

To figure out proportions and how the harp should be put together, West started with a 6-inch model and scaled up for size. Each week, for three weeks, she built a new harp a size larger than the last.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that it\u2019s a good idea to do steps,\u201d West said. \u201cThere are certain things you can\u2019t do because of size. So each week, not only was I blowing it up and adjusting it, I was also adding more to it. It was a great learning process.\u201d<\/p>\n

West was also happy to participate in the competition because it gave her hands-on experience that she can take with her after she graduates in spring 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis competition gave me a glimpse at what\u2019s out there in industry,\u201d West said. \u201cIt was cool to see just how creative I could get with only corrugated cardboard.\u201d<\/p>\n
