Innovative ways of designing with materials
December 2, 2008
Materials have a lot of potential in design. I think it all depends on the client’s willingness to accept new ideas and to pay for their production.
One good example of innovative ways of using materials is the use of bubble wraps in a calendar that would be mostly for kids:
Another use of bubble wrap which i think is cool is the package designed by “build” (Michael C. Place) for a book. I think it is cool because of the texture it gives and the feeling it gives to the package. second, it gives the feeling that you should handle the package with care. finally it would make you wonder of what’s in the package if u don’t pick it up and/or read about it.
Another material that i found was used in a cool way is plexiglass which was used in the making of a business card and i personally found it very beautiful and effective.
