Pinwheel.

Having a play around with creating similar designs to Issey Miyakes dresses using simple origami techniques, i would love to be able to re-create the actual designs but they are far too complex and need to be created using computer technology.

These are quite a good representation of the designs but unsure how i can use them from here, i may incorporate some better made ones into poster designs or invitations etc.

Book marks & Name cards printed.

Finally got around to printing the book marks and name cards for the event, looking really nice and in keeping with the aesthetic of the rest of the project, it's all coming together nicely now, just need to photograph the project as a whole and finish the boards off.

Design Direction.

After a fair bit of research and exploring different options for executing this project, i decided to start developing design ideas for a proposed publication for Issey Miyake, through researching his designs i couldn't have found a better collaboration for this brief, he explores all kinds of origami techniques and brought around a completely new concept involving computer assisted origami for folding his clothes, also looking further into his other projects i found various other designs that i could easily relate into my publication and designs.

Here are a few designs developing, exploring the potential of Fedrigoni paper.

Also began experimenting with showcasing their paper through posters, i'm thinking of developing a 4d poster exploring time as a dimension, i would like to create a poster unfolding through a series of 4 posters.

Boards.

Yet again creating concept boards to put our ideas across and let people know the sort of design direction were taking, were our inspiration is coming from, who our audience is, and the context in which the work will be in.

This also shows initial concepts, at the moment our concept aren't particularly strong, they have a good base for ideas to come but i feel we need to research much more and begin finding exactly what we need to deliver. 

Crit. 2

After showing our boards to the group, we were given feedback by our peers, general feedback to see if we have all areas covered properly, and to also question our concepts, throw any more ideas around and give us some more to consider in terms of deliverables and concepts.

 

Problem and Solution.

Putting together a simple sheet explaining the problem we are faced with and solutions we may put forward, this is a chance for us to present our knowledge on how the brief should look in a graphic design perspective, after we presented our work to the group they would then crit us on how well it is done, informing us of anything we may have missed.

At the minute we don't have much design direction but we will began to throw some ideas around to see where we stand in terms of style, I'm sure we will both be on a pretty similar level for design ideas, now we just need to crack on with idea generation.

3D.

3D.

'A bike flying gracefully'.

My reponse to the 2d - 3d - 2d, i cut a bike out of two different coloured stock to create an outline of a bike, i then added wings due to my drawing, i took the picture from below the bike in order to catch the sun beside it, i feel this gives a better representation of a flying bike.
