Fedrigoni website



http://imaginativecolours.com/
The fedrigoni website is interactive where the coloured balls of light spin and raise to wherever your mouse is. i think this is a really sick feature although how useful is it actually.

A lovely use of paper simple photography which i feel works really well

ink blot patterns

Here is a book created by Arielle Wincheste which is made to mimic the ink blot patterns used in psychological tests. This is a great book made with 3 separate layers giving a fresh 3D effect.


Use of colour




Here are a couple of examples of good use of colour. the top example is a nice progression through the colours which is what i plan to do with our own layering idea but with paper. 
The Heart is a good use of similar colour from dark to light using the pixel effect which i have talked about before.

Richard Sweeney


Here are some lazer cut sculptures by Richard Sweeney which are made to represt sand dunes. In addition to this one which was given to the Queen Rania of Jordan there were 500 made to be given to all the guests of the Queens birthday reception.
The Sculpture is a lovely yet simple design. The way that the design comes alive is the way that the piece is folded which gives it the curvy effect.




Colour Gradient

Here are some business card designs which use a lovely colour effect on the front using a gradient of blues which looks like it is in pixel format using squares which looks really attractive.

Paper Craft

At Rondom


At Random is a sculpture created by Kerstin Ballies which each piece of paper is printed by a visitor on the copier in the corner of the room. it has used 80,000 sheets of paper in total. I really like the effect given from the massive piles of paper and the colors used are beautifully chosen also.

Ay-O is a Japanese artist who is know in his country as "The Rainbow Man"and uses the coloured stripe motif in his works. I think he is a useful person to look at for the Fedrigoni brief due to the coloured layering and seeing the effects and shapes he uses. Simple and effective design.

Product Photography

Here i have come across a lovely display of design which is complimented even more by the photographing of the products.
Designs by Richard Arthur Stewart inspired by the port in Kenmore Square. Simple minimal design keeping a rustic feel but adding a freshness to it which i feel works amazingly.



Layering Paper



Here is a design produced by Touch Branding for "The strings of Autumn". They created an identity reflecting the the different layers of the music festival. I This is a beautiful pice of design and i think they have Photoshoped this piece instead of actually creating it. which may be a technique i have to use if we run out of time.
