I know from experience that die-cutting vynil is a fairly easy thing to do, once you get the machine going. The application though can be tricky and it requires a lot of patience. So this one-off self-promotional is surely a testament to dedication and patience from the designer.

Project Description
Creation of a fragrance packaging inspired of the 20s also called “Golden Years.” The name “Faces” plays the game of the bilingualism and the difference in the translation. Indeed, “faces” in French reminds the multifaceted shape of the object but in English “faces” means the human body part. This interpretation interested me because fragrance is a luxury item typically anchored in the society and allows to convey a social status or a lifestyle. The shape of the bottle aims to be inspired by chandelier pearls with geometricals shapes like in The Great Gatsby. The visual identity is definitively turned to the old luxury and the box takes a shape of antiprism always from this perspective of facets and offers a gilded cocoon for the bottle.Production Lesson(s)
With vinyl cutting, the most difficult step is to put your cutting with precision on the area. It's not a expensive way to use gold, silver or metallic effect on a project but not as durable as embossing (and without the same finishing).
