I then created two models to experiment with how we could create our exhibition...

The title that I came up with for our exhibition was Unplug, because the idea behind the exhibition was to try and get people to switch off their technology and experiment with handmade art forms.

Group Project

The name we came up with for our mini design company was Rock, Scissors, Paper and the theme we chose to explore was handmade. We wanted to create an exhibition that celebrated the art of handmade crafts in Northern Ireland, so we came up with the idea of creating a 3D model made out of card. We began by researching artists. The three we found most inspiring were Julien Vallee, Bomboland and Big Chief Meets Funri.

Final Pen Design

Sketches for Pen

When creating my design, I was influenced by the work of design company eBoy. I first became aware of their work when they launched their "Open Happiness" campaign with Coca Cola, in which cities such as Belfast, Dublin and Cork were represented in pixel art form. http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/
