LOGO

Above, were my initial logo ideas. I liked a few of them and tried to develop them but didn't feel any of them were really working for me. I wanted something simple that stood out yet looked quite professional at the same time. After asking opinions from my flatmates I decided on this one that I made on illustrator. I think the grey gives it a smart look without being too in your face.

More packaging research

I found that I'm really stuck on where to begin with my packaging. What colours? What net? What four things about myself? So I decided to do some more research on behance.com and found some that really helped.

Richard Sweeney (research)

After our first workshop on scoring and folding paper to create different shapes I thought I'd look into different designers work as how they folded paper to make such delicate shapes really surprised me. I came across a man called Richard Sweeney, and his technique of paper engineering is fascinating. These are a few examples of his work.

Workshop 1 (paper folding and scoring)

    

To start off our brief, our first workshop introduced us to paper folding and scoring to create unique shapes out of a simple piece of paper. My favourite one was the 'snake' shape that could also look like and 8 or a &! 

We then had to make some logo's look 3D so I chose the subway 'S'.

I made the S longer on each side to make it stand up a bit from the table, however with a bit more work I think I could make it look even better.

Curated By Narratives

I really enjoyed the Curated By Event, despite not being able to stay for Erik Kessels it was a good experience.

It started off with Morag Myerscough. I particularly enjoyed her typographic work and she said, "design for you, not for for other people" which really made me think about me and my style of work. Next came Jack Schulze which I was completely inspired by. I'm not normally keen on technical products but his work is definitely worth checking it out! His talk was probably my favourite out of the three that I saw. Next on was Johnny Kelly. Safe to say his talk was controversial but very interesting and I'm really glad I stayed and watched his talk.

I think this product from Berg (Jack Schulze) was my favourite thing I saw at the event. It's a completely new idea and I'd love to get my hands on one of these. (Disappointed I won't at the ridiculous price tag!)
