dénoter,

Reflection

I am very proud of how it turned out. The project was heavy on concept and consideration especially for the content. I had to remove many initial ideas for it to be do-able in the present day. Finally settling on 3 tasks for each phase, I think the book length is appropriate for a guide book.

The party checklist was interesting to research on. Every party/event can be broken down into categories of what one may need when organising. I had to filter information and included the essential concepts while keeping the introverts I'm targeting in mind. 

The postcards were imaginary. As the project is of projecting 50 years in the future and imagining what we want to 'bring back,' I opted for a futuristic address. The postcards also represent the phases clearly and explains how the badges relate to the whole thing. 

I enjoyed working and experimenting with resin. Imagine working on a very corrosive, sticky, poisonous, liquid-y clay and you'll have resin. It has many restrictions on the creation of its form which makes it facinating to work with. 

The vectors on the resin badges are representative of the phases. The first "pulse" is a play on restarting the heart of someone whos cold and hardened. After that it represents 'self development', 'community' and 'experimental'. Experimental is representing by firework-looking vectors. 

Everything in the package is in harmony with the black/white with red/green accents theme. Even the back of the resin badges are red. 

The overall packaging turned out better than I expected. Even though the blacks faded at the edges, it was fixed with some acrylic paint to give it a blacker black. I like how sleek it turned out, having the futuristic context in mind.

Notes :

Paper doesnt seem to know if it wants to be glossy or matte.  To pick between either

Colours appear green but its a pleasant surprise.
