Here are some of the products I designed for true fabrications. Mostly I designed graphics on wine bags. But I also designed some glass cheese board and napkins.
i bought bags of dried bael fruits in thailand and they came in clear plastic bags tightened with elastic bands. not very pretty-looking as i'm giving these as gifts to my friends in seattle. so i gave these dried bael fruit new packaging using patterned papers and ribbons. just ignore the fact that it's a zip-lock bag :P it's practical and functional, as these dried fruits are best kept in zip-lock bags :)
this year i decided to make my own holiday cards to send out to all my friends and families. i had in mind to do gocco print of my own design, which would be my first time trying it out. unfortunately, it didn't come out the way i envisioned it :P the light blue is too light and you can't read the text. also, i can't seem to get a smooth color print. i can't figure out what i did wrong yet, but maybe i put too much ink on the screen? another big problem is i can't get a clean image. there are tiny dots around the image.... can't figure out why either. anybody knows?
so i went with my second plan, which is the same design but printed out from my own ink-jet printer. even though it's not a gocco print, i still like how it came out a lot. it still has the same block-print feel.
i'm a graphic designer/illustrator who likes to create happy, whimsical art. i'm fascinated with beautiful product packaging and all things vintage. i like coffee, crafts, sewing, cooking & baking, hand lettering. i also like to buy used classic books and browse through tastespotting website for recipe inspirations.
