PACKAGING TOTORO

THIS WAS A SMALL PROJECT FOR ADVANCED STUDIO
WHERE EACH STUDENT PICKED A TOY THAT THEY
OWNED, AND WERE TOLD TO MAKE A PACKAGE FOR
IT. I CHOSE TOTORO, A FANTASY CHARACTER FROM
THE ANIMATION CALLED "MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO".
ITS MAIN DIET ARE ACORNS. THROUGHOUT THE
MOVIE TOTORO IS OFTEN SEEN GOING AROUND PICKING
ACORNS AND EATING THEM. HERE I HAVE MADE A
PACKAGE THAT REVEALS TOTORO FROM THE OUTSIDE
AND HAVE TWO CAPS FROM BOTH THE TOP AND THE
BOTTOM SHAPING LIKE ACORNS.

GUSHER'S PACKAGING, NOT QUITE

THIS GUSHERS PACKAGING IS VERY SIMILAR TO
THE FRUIT BY THE FOOT DESIGN, BUT THIS GUSHERS
ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS THE FRUIT BY THE FOOT PACKAGE.
THIS GUSHERS PACKAGE HAS EXTRA PICTURES OF LITTLE
GUSHERS FLOATING AROUND. THIS PACKAGE WOULD
HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE SIMPLE AND POWERFUL WITHOUT
THOSE ART WORKS OF LITTLE GUSHERS.

NEW FRUIT BY THE FOOT

THIS IS THE THE NEW PACKAGING DESIGN FOR FRUIT
BY THE FOOT. USUALLY PACKAGING DESIGNS FOR SNACKS
FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS ARE VERY WILD AND
ALMOST CHAOTIC. A LOT OF LINES SUGGESTING MOVEMENT
ARE THE KEY ELEMENTS FOR THE DESIGNS, AND SIMPLE
DESIGNS AREN'T REALLY CRAVED. BUT STILL IN THAT
SITUATION, FRUIT BY THE FOOT MANAGED TO MAKE IT
WORK. A VERY SIMPLE DESIGN THAT WORKS POP OUT VERY
MUCH LINED UP IN STORE CASES.

"WASNT ME" SHAGY

OVER MANY YEARS OF TAGGING AND OTHER MARK
MAKING HISTORY IN NEW YORK CITY, ANOTHER MAN
DECIDES TO BOAST OUT HIS EXISTENCE IN THIS WORLD.
THIS TIME IT SEEMS TO BE UNDER GROUND. HE DOES
WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO AND LEAVES WHEN ITS DONE.
THERES NO ANGEL IN HIS MIND THAT SAYS "LETS GET
OUT OF HERE, WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS". BUT
THERES A VOICE SAYING "IM A TAGGER, I GOTTA DO
WAT I GOTTA DO". BEING CLOSE TO THESE TAGGERS
WAS INTENSE. NOTHING WILL STOP THEM.

INK'N IT

THESE ARE REFILLABLE TAGGING MARKERS. FOUR OF
THESE MARKERS EACH HAS A CERTAIN PURPOSE. THE
ONE ON THE LEFT IS USED BY SQUEEZING THE INK OUT
OF THE BOTTLE. THIS CREATES A DRIPPY MARK ON MOST
SURFACES. NEXT TO THAT IS A BROAD FLAT TIPPED
MARKER. CALLIGRAPHIC TAGS ARE DRAWN WITH THESE.
ITS BETTER TO HAVE A RATHER SMOOTH SURFACE FOR
THIS. IN THE MIDDLE IS THE MOP MARKER WHICH IS JUST
LIKE THE FIRST MARKER, YOU SQUEEZE OUT THE JUICE
INSIDE AND LET THE DRIP EFFECT OCCUR. THIS LAST ONE
IS SIMILAR TO THE BROAD CALLIGRAPHIC MARKER BUT THE
TIP IS MORE NARROW AND THEREFORE CAN BE USED IN
ROUGHER SURFACES. MARK MAKING PROVES THE EXISTENCE
OF YOUR SELF IN THIS WORLD, BUT JUST TO YOU AND
SOME OTHERS THAT MIGHT SEE YOUR TAGS.

MONTANA SILVER CANS

THIS MONTANA SILVER SPRAY IS THE ONLY SPRAY
WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THE SHAKER BALLS IN THEM.
THIS IS VERY SIGNIFICANT TO TAGGERS AND OTHER
GRAFFITI ARTISTS WHO WALK AROUND WITH CANS
AND DOESN'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT. ITS SIMPLE, SINCE
THERE AREN'T ANY BALLS IN THERE, THE CAN IS
ABSOLUTELY SILENT! YOU CAN RUN WITH IT, JUMP
UP AND DOWN IN FRONT OF THE COPS AND STILL BE
SMILING. SO FAR THE SILVER COLOR IS THE ONLY ONE
WITHOUT THE SHAKER BALLS. THIS IS AWESOME.
