building toys..

template design

looking at what i had found i started to draw out how i wanted my own to look:

i used similar aspects to the cubecraft toys except i wanted them to look more lifelike so i made the legs longer and had seperate and more proportioned hands and feet. the net itself is also alot simpler with everything literally just boxes and triangles.





here is the final design:






















i then used the photographs on the uscreates website to create each individual person:

more templates..

after deciding on the paper toy idea  i looked into more paper templates of people for inspiration on how to design my own.

after looking at a few my favourites were from a website called cubecraft where they made loads of characters from basically the same net which uses boxes and rectangles for the head and body.

Here we go

This is the very first day of the project. This is our team outcome.

Here we use methods to analyze the work and suggest ideas for development 

First ideas for the postcards

Ideas that I wrote down before i started creating the postcards.

Second Prototype

This is my second prototype that I did after researching the work that I posted before from the Pilar Gorriz studio. It needs development because it looks messy. I need to develop the way that the glue meet the sand.

Ideas

This is my first prototype for a set of postcards. After the tutorial on tuesday, and based on the feedback that I received, i decided to change it because letterpress might be a difficult process of production for uscreates. I thought that they will have to create a lot of postcards so letterpress might be not the quickest way to achieve that.
