Packaging Books

So this Japanese book store was having a 50% off deal on all merchandise. I got a good deal on these books. They are both package designing books with about 400 pages. Theres also a CD in the books that have the packaging templates in EPS form so that it can be scaled to your desire. It's useful to cut the packages using a laser cutter for chip boards.

MOVADO Silverware

For this project, I had to pick an existing brand and then design a product that the company doesn't make. For the brand I decided on MOVADO and for my product I decided on creating a silverware.

I first sketch out the ideas and then draw the orthographic views.

I scanned it in the computer to make it cleaner through illustrator.

Then I used Rhino to create it into 3D. After I finished rendering I used the 3D printer to create the head of the silverware and for the handle I used renshape.

OUROBOROS

This is my show project when I was attending ASU during my sophomore year. The objective was to create a one shoe that looks realistic, but doesn't have to be worn. The picture on the top is the result of my work. A simple tennis shoe called, OUROBOROS.

First, I used white Styrofoam to create the base of my shoe. Then I scanned it into the computer and designed the sole on illustrator. After the design, I used chip board to cut out the design using a laser cutter.

I then spread blue tape (sticky side up) on the table and and taped my design on it.

After taping my design it looks like this. Then I Trimmed the edge and glued the sole design on my styrofoam sole.

Then I paste the logo around the sole.

I made the top using a shoe display on the tip (sorry don't know what its called), wire mesh and a LOT of pins to hold up the leather and the shape.

The sole is colored with water base spray paint. After the top and bottom is done I just paste them together. The small mistakes like paint cracks, wrinkles, and pins are fixed in photoshop.
