branding ideas ptII


Im rubish at photoshop but thought i would play with it to get a bit of a mock up of some ideas and other branding for companies that could use the chair for other events

salon 2009

I just thought I would take a look at this years Salon seeing as though it took place half way thought the design process and make sure my design would still fit in to the surrounds of 09




























Branding ideas


Photos of stencil graffiti I found around Melbourne







Silhouette of mainly birds that I could work from to brand my chair as the 2008 salone featured white silhouette birds on a green background

Some reusable wall stickers I found at design EX that could be used for inspiration for my branding


bend formula


folding methods from the xanita website

I had been struggling to try and figure out with the xanita board to get the angles of my cuts working properly. I couldnt get my head around how much material i needed to cut out to get my 130 degree bends so I went back to basics and researched how Xanita recomended folding the material.

1:1 mock up


Photo of my 1:1 form study mock up. unfortunatly the cardboard i used wasnt able to give me a very good representation of how my locking system will work using the x-board so will still have to play with some scale models using x board
