Brief 3- Cocoaroma boards


Open publication - Free publishing - More boards



Cocoaroma ended up being one my larger briefs and the one I enjoyed the most. I didn't expect to expand it as much as it was going to be a small brief.
I developed my drawing skills as I designed 3 patterns on to a coconut and a 2D images. I also improved on designing a logo and I am really pleased with the results as I spent time looking for fonts and using indesign to get it perfect.
I used my patten to create a tapestry which is 100cm by 140cm and got taught how to use the fabric printer where you have to upload a tiff file. The fabric came out bright red, which is not how I designed it. This looks great and I now think it works better than the darker red but it means my packaging does not match. However I did find using different types of paper did change the colours of my paper work so maybe it is bright red as it is on thin cotton.
I spent a lot of time on this brief and found things extremely hard, getting a coconut cut in half and then having to hollow it out with a spoon. I think this project show a different size to my style, it is bright and fun and a bit random.
