Packaging continues

Actually I have to admit: it is hard to a decent packaging design. Our task was to pack a chosen fruit (in my case a pomegranate (Granatapfel, dt.)). We started to find two different packages for our fruit, a closed one and an open one, all by paper.

Closed package for my pomegranate, sketch

So good, so fine. The next week we had to research the fruit and play with the blank surface, illustrating the fruit. I have chosen to work on the closed package after failing with the open one. Here the results...

I am not totally happy with the results but considering the given time it's ok (one afternoon and a morning, approx. eight hours). With more time I would start to play with colours, and patterns and will work on the closure of the package... The strings have to be longer...

This Saturday we got a cube. We had to pack it with a rectangular paper, but not simply cover all six sides. Once with transparent paper, once with two sided black and white paper. Here some results of mine...

Next week we will play again with our designs... curious what will be and where we will head to.

Packaging

We started with 3D and visual communication in combination. For four weeks we learn and then for four weeks we realize our own project...

another one.

and now with two separate sheets

Open package of pomegranate

a bit to small. but in a week it will fit :)

closed package of pomegranate unwrapped. and prepared paper for rewrapping.

so next week we will play with the surface and print it. now research for design of package...

Working on photo project

This week and last we have been working on our photo project. Selecting photos for a sequence I am getting slowly to the result. Reduced to four pictures I decided to print them A0. So next step is to find someone who prints it for a reasonable price as I can only go A2. The four pictures you find in the gallery.

Portraits

starting to learn to photograph... stefanie is pushing us to do some portraits. good she has done so. I do like to get to know the Nikon D800 and see what the cam can do. So different to an analog experience - but fun.

Amsterdam

Being here for a wedding with the family I'm exploring Dutch art and design. The MUSEUM STEDELIJK AMSTERDAM is a good place to start.

On our way I shot a nice picture of my sisters son.

Here are some other impressions...

Yes we can!

yes we did it. Happy to enter Propädeutikum at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste ZHDK this summer.

My wife and I got accepted after a short interview. So a new adventure starts soon and continous work will be presented on this blog.

Looking forward to the experience!

Portfolio

Die beiden analogen Portfolio von Olga und Gregory sind fertig. Nun geht es an die ZHdK zur Anmeldung. Es wäre schön, wenn die Arbeiten bei der ZHdK Anklang finden würden und wir zum berufsbegleitenden Propädeutikum zugelassen würden.

... das Warten beginnt ...

First day

Great to accomplish the creation of an online portfolio in no time, tweeking it and like to see what's happening. Creative engagement is a relief like suger with spice...

Wieder darf ich erleben, dass die kreative Arbeit etwas magisches hat. Der Flow in welchen ich mich geben kann wirkt wie Götterspeise. Happy mit dem Fortschritt unseres kreativen online Portfolios.
