Visual Aid To Be Placed Within My 3D Lion Head Packaging Design

I have designed a visual aid in which was inspired by my previous Paw Print drawing in my experimental designs, designed to visually aid the audience/ Illustration Agency by telling them who i am (from the logo presented on the from side of the 'Paw Print'), and what my skills and interests are (presented typographically on the back side of the 'Paw Print' using hand drawn type combined with representative illustrations set behind the specific typographic words). This effectively fits inside the 3D Lion head from the hole upon the back of the head (where the head is created by a rolled up piece of A3 paper), and by being a 'Paw Print', it promotes how i wish to make an impression on the Illustration Industry. With this, Illustration Agencies such as Folio Illustration Agency can see my specialist skills and interests more clearly thanks to this visual aid, and they can understand how passionate i am about illustration and how i am ambitious in excelling in the industry.

How I Created The 3D Lion Head Sculpture/ Packaging Hair

 

Using a Metal Ruler and a Scalpel,i was able to cut up my Digital Illustration Poster Design into strips to create the effect of a hair for my 3D Lions Head. using the Digital Illustration Poster Design, it has hand drawn illustration that create an aesthetically pleasing effect once on the head, creating a illustrative figure that resembles a Lions Head with hair.

Final Lion Head Packaging Design

Here is my Final Lion Head Lion Design For my 3D Packaging Project. As you can see, it demonstrates a wide range of my skills and interests to do with Illustration, in a highly visual and aesthetically way between each of the 'Folding Segments' of the net (i.e. Fine Detailed Drawing, Dry Point Etching, Graphics Tablet/ Digital Illustration, 'mark Making Illustration, and the use of Different Media/ Tools such as 'Pastels' etc), initially portraying a sense tat i have a keen eye for illustration and detail. As you can see i have chosen the mask option 'A' in my final design, primarily due to the fact that in my primary researched question between possible 'Mask Designs for my packaging design, the majority of the vote consisted of 'Mask A' as the more aesthetically pleasing option. The hair or the 3D sculpture was created by hand, using a scalpel to cut individual strips of paper segments from my previously established Graphics Tablet/ Digital Illustration Poster Design called 'King Of The Jungle', to create the effect of hair. I feel the hair conveys additional attention to detail by the fact that it is authentically cut into strips of my poster, plus my poster design consists of a lot of illustrative details. In addition, i feel that the colour scheme of 'Green' and 'Brown' effectively references my ambition to become 'King Of the Jungle' (i.e. become successful in the illustration industry. This packaging design i feel would attract the attention and interest of an Illustration Agency such as Folio Illustration Agency etc.

Laser Cutting Workshop Bottle Structure

After the laser cutting session, i was left with the pieces of the bottle net that would therefore allow me to combine together, forming this bottle shaped 3D structure in which i feel is highly effective and successful. With the laser cutter being a new device to produce such structures, i am intrigued and interested in using such devices in future projects, as its use is quick, easy and the final outcome is highly accurate to what you intend to create as a designer.

Here is the Jpg file of my Illustrator net in which by using the 'Pen Tool', i constructed a net that when come comes together, forms a 3D structure in which resembles a bottle in it's shape. From our Illustrator tutorial within a previous IT Session, i was able to independently construct and finish these nets in my own time. Once i had done this, i saved the illustrator file/ net as an EPS file, as this would allow me to later on cut these nets out using a laser cutter, as this was the appropriate file format needed for this laser cutting session.
