Dog Eared Poster idea

Here are few examples of a poster idea i have been working on for GF Smith paper celebrating a 100 years of paper.

The idea is very simple its self which is what i like about it. It is all about the pure paper. The information of the GF Smith paper has been stencilled out of the poster its self in Helvetica. I chose this font as i looked on the GF Smith website and it looked like the font they where using, so I thought this would be a good idea to use.
The right hand corner has been dog eared. This is because when ever i see paper there is normal a corner that has been lent on or folded over to remember a page or been a bit battered and i thought it was quite a simple symbol of paper.

The idea for this was to have the poster hanging then shine light on it in different angels to create different lighting effects on the poster.

Here are a few examples of how it is coming out i am quite happy with it at the mo, but i think it needs to be played around with more.

Not much time left

Not much time left on this project and i am still unsure what is going to be my final image.

I am quite liking the russian doll idea with the smaller shape inside. I have also had the idea of creating a few of the same object the hanging them at different levels to see what that will look like.

Prymid

I have moved away from the cube here to a Pyramid. I found this shape quite a bit easier to work with than the cube template i am not sure why it just seemed to work better. This is also my 1st try of my russian doll idea by having a smaller pyramid inside the bigger one with the same design cut out. I went for a very simple triangle shape to cut out, this was to see if it would work but also so it would give you a big space to see through. I am quite liking how it looks and it will be interesting to see what they look like with a different pattern cut out.

Same Process

Here i am following the same template i have used to create the cubes before hand. However on this idea i have tried a bit more of difficult pattern to cut out. This was really fragile to work with and i had some trouble trying to put it together but i feel it was worth it. The pattern reminds me of a target locking on to a object.

Experiments with different shapes

Here are 2 quick photos of some quick work trying out different geo shapes being cut out of the sides. I am really liking the one of the Square been cut out of the cube i feel this works well.

Process of Creating a Cube

 I 1st decide on a size of what i want one of the squares to be. This will be decide on the size of paper I have, of maybe the design i want to create in side if i need more room or not. Once I have got this i start to draw my template and cut it out.

 Once I have my template cut out I start to work with a design that i want to cut out. If i am going for a repeated pattern I tend to use tracing paper to copy my pattern so it is near perfect ever time i draw it out.

 Once i have my design drawn on to my template i then get to work cutting it out.

And once i have cut out all the pattern i then tend to use glue or tape to stick the tabs together which brings the cube to life.

I am liking the way that this cube is looking it is simple with only a bit cut out but i feel it works and is quite effective. 

Here with these images which have been created by using a simple cube template then cutting a repeated diagonal line pattern out of each side. This when put together as a cube gives a very nice effect as when you look through it the patterns cross which i think looks really nice. 

I like the bottom image here I think the position of the cube in the photo works quite nicely and the lighting of the work i feel gives it a nice warm feeling.
