Nothing quite so satisfying as having to invent a dieline, suffering the frustration of discovering it doesn’t work, which you can’t know until you’ve measured, cut, and assembling it, then trying again with a few minor adjustments and having it work nearly perfectly (still in need of adjustments on the fastenings). It’s an incredibly tedious process but I love it. Sends me back to this time last year in Packaging (pronounce in Spanish/Catalán) with profesor Josep M. Garrofé (who has a cool book on Antique Cardboard Packaging, which I own). Anyway, that class was a lot of “see this 3D object? what’s the flat plan of it look like.” or “See this flat dieline? What would it look like assembled?” It was super hard because I think in 2D mostly, not 3D. But it came in handy! Also the teacher doesn’t speak English. He preferred to conduct the class in Catalán, though he would confer with me in Spanish about the specifics of a project. I’m just trying to make a simple banker’s box for this though. It’s not pretty yet. It will be.
This is a book for people with ADD. Do you ever feel like this when reading essays/articles/books for homework? Because I happen to know I only like reading things I find interesting, and otherwise it all just looks like words but no meaning… Well the Blah Blah Blah Book, made by apapap definitely does a beautiful job of expressing this :)
This is taking fandom pretty far… I don’t know anyone who would actually buy these. But the craft is nice, and the reduction is still recognizable. Found these on It’s That Nice, 56th Studio: Caricature Chairs, if you want to see more pictures there.
I tell you, I’d drink out of these juice boxes no matter how old I am! Designed by Yunyeen Yong of Australia. No website, as far as I know of, but it’s a student project feature on Lovely Package. It’s a really good idea. Wish I had something in my portfolio like this! (though the name is a bit weird)
