Creative Process

Graphic Design class project.

Objective: Design your creative working process. Free to express how you wish.

For this project we had to creatively form/design our creative process. Throughout the year we had to analyzed what our working process was, and where we kept bumping into. For me this was the daunting white canvas of a piece of paper. The possibilities are endless with what you can design on a clean slate, that it is hard to decide and move forward with an idea. From this point I started think about what you can do with a piece of paper and paper folding came quickly to mind. I adore origami and paper art, and am always in awe what people can create with just a piece of paper. This inspiration inspired a brainstorm of origami forms, ending with the Lotus. The Lotus symbolizes rebirth, which is what design is all about recreating an idea/product, breath it back to life with new forms. From the Lotus form I sketched different models, in the end choosing a very complicated paper origami design. From here on I created the lotus origami folding instructions as my creative process. Resulting in a beautiful but simple 3D attention piece to introduce myself to graphic design companies/clients.
