Project Description
Designed the packaging for the 2014 Founders Circle with the goal of inviting new potential members such as Bono and other public figures to become founders of Tribeca Film Institute for 2015. We didn't want to just send envelopes, so we came up with the idea of using film canisters to house the invitation and create a memorable and meaningful approach to communicate the institute's beliefs.The process involved buying used film canisters and spray painting them flat black and white, cutting out stencils to paint the the logo. The invitations were letterpressed.
Production Lesson(s)
The project was a great way to take a break from the computer and work with my hands more. It was very rewarding creatively and exploring new ways to approach a project is always challenging since you might find yourself in uncharted territory. I was very nervous the first week while I was hand spraying the film canisters since I knew these were going to very prominent people in the entertainment, fashion and design business, so I knew these had to be perfect, but I also wanted for these to be a bit rough in the edges to give them more character.The white splash of paint in the center was by accident while trying to make a perfect circle I accidentally spray painted the wrong way, but I noticed that the splash gave the roughness I was looking for so I took the risk and presented all of these without previous approval. The end result was great each one of these film canister had a slightly different look making them authentic and personal in way. Luckily my director liked the white splash. What I learned from this project is to take more risks!
