Pick & Mix Yumbers paper

Paper for pick and mix Yumbers sweets cone or a wrapping paper used in a sweet shop.

"U" for Unique

When I thought of a word unique an idea of designing an invitation cross my mind. I chose unusual shape, used wood instead of a paper and designed unique society logo. This unique invitation was to invite all unique people to a Ball.

"M" is for moving image

I have never ever done any video editing and by working on A-Z project I pushed myslef to discover imovie...I went around school taking short videos of everything which looks like a grid and then edited in imovie. I really enjoyed this ;o)..

"H" for Helvetica

Some people are crazy about Helvetica..I think that they should have a typographic system called Helveticalism :-D...

"P" for packaging Yumbers

I have decided to design packaging for retro sweets. I came up with several names but what it felt right to me to call them Yumbers.

Firstly I wanted to make packaging containing 9 boxes which would be stick together ( check the video) and rotate. After a prototype I found out its a bit complicated and not as great as I had in my mind....so I completely changed the idea and designed individual boxes with different flavours. So far I only made a prototype for strawberry flavour but soon going to make more...

"E" for EMBOSS

Another think I always wanted to do at LCC. It's so cool. I think adding a texture to designs is a good idea.

My classmates and I managed to organized a tutorial on embossing so now the techniques is much clearer to me. As for the project I asked 10 students what do they have in their pockets and these four objects were most common so I decided embossed them. Because these things were 3D object which would be really hard to put under the press I had to make a solar plate first. First I had to take a pic of my objects retouched them in photoshop and illustrator and then print them out on an acetate . After that exposed it on a solar plate for about 60 second. For the best result is recommended to leave the solar plate to dry out over night after exposing and a gentle wash.
Now I was ready for embossing! I put all objects in the book and embossed the title. For the title I laser cut the letters.

"B" Badge

I thought about badges for some time and when I was sitting in front of the mac the idea suddenly came to me. I'm planning to screen print the mac monitor with an empty dock on the bag and then pin individual badges on the dock. Another idea was to put it on the t-shirt but it might be a bit annoying to take it off with every washing.

"O" is for ORIGAMI

Its amazing what it can be fold from one sheet of paper. Some people are shockingly good at it. You might think that following instruction must be easy but its not even a folding paper properly can turn out as a big problem. All you need for origami is a paper lots and lots of patience and be very precise at folding! First I had a lots of goes on folding a rose but i

t always ended up as a snowball. Anyway i didn't give up and folded a lotus flower. It came out quite nice ;o).

this would take me

"A" is for AMPERSAND

is a logogram representing the conjunction word "and"

Wow so many of them! Each font has got one and I found exciting to see how different they are. Some of them I found beautiful. To my surprise lots of people gets tattoos of them!

so far my favorites

A-Z WORKSHOPS

This workshop was about hybrid font. We got one word n two different fonts or in the same font but regular, old or italic. By applying cut and paste method we created some initial idea for a new hybrid font. I was given bold Helvetica and Times. It was an interesting experiment. I quite like the effect on the first example and I had a Helvetica of a Times ;o)

'R'for RUBBING

Have u ever checked a sole pattern when you buy a new pair of shoes? I do it all the time but not many people do that. The pattern is sometimes so beautiful. So I decided to rub all shoe sole I have at home and put them in a note book bind with Japanese binding.
