OUIL503: YCN Fedrigoni Competiton

After looking at all the wonderful 2015/16 competition briefs as part of the YCN awards, I am really inspired by the Fedrigoni paper brief. I have a lot of history with paper engineering, craft and design in my practice and have not had the chance to use/develop these skills in any of this years work so far.

In looking at the brief, I have a lot of ideas already and cannot wait to get started. Fedrigoni provide a sample pack of some of their high quality papers as part of this brief, therefore I have wasted no time in requesting this.

Email to Fedrigoni marketing requesting sample pack of paper to incorporate into designs/concepts





Project pack provided by Fedrigoni and downloaded from YCN site:

Logo provided by Fedrigoni:







This brief is right up my street and already I have many ideas. The design problem here is to be innovative with the paper Fedrigoni provide, whilst also being informative and serving a purpose of which is to showcase their new store location. The solution would benefit from being interactive in some way, to get people excited by paper and the possibilities of uses.

Ideas so far:

Paper cut block of tear off paper swatches with company/paper details embossed/cut out of each piece. Each piece of paper on the tear off swatch block will be a different sample of the paper stock Fedrignoi supply.

The block itself will have the logo + detailed imaginative design cut out of the side in a 3 dimensional style. Details / address of new location embossed.

Example/inspo:



Sample Pack has Arrived!!!

Time management issues has meant that I have been unable to approach / finish this brief unfortunately but definitely one to look out for in the future!
