zine research




I decided to look at some zines for inspiration for mine. I really like these examples that I found online, as well as the ones we were shown in the workshop.

final packaging

After a while being stuck on what to do for my packaging, I came up with this design which i decided to use for my final packaging. I really like the shape it makes when its all together, and each side could be something different about me as a designer. 







laser cutting workshop


We had a workshop on laser cutting, and it was surprisingly good! I wasn't keen on how it sometimes burnt the edges of the card, but i loved that you could engrave something onto your card.

I will definitely be using this in future projects, however I don't think I needed to use it for my net on this project.

nets


I started by renting some books out in the library and looking at different nets. I really liked this one as the shape was interesting when it came together. I tried to make it several times however it just wasn't working for me. So I decided to go with something a bit more simple. 


I drew a dodecahedron up and did the outline on illustrator and decided it was a good solid shape to use for my packaging.
