Inspirational Designers.

After looking at different forms for inspiration to my work i decided to look at what other designers have created with paper as well. 

Yulia Brodskaya.
Yulia Brodskaya is an Illustrator and Designer who is largely recognised for her 'papergraphics'. She experimented with her favourite aspects of design - typography, paper and hand crafting, and incorporated them all into one, resulting in her innovative and highly detailed paper based works. 


Elod Beregszaszi

Elod Beregszaszi creates incredibly intricate and detailed pieces of work by using range of techniques, such as cutting, folding, embossing and sculpting. He is very well known for creating pop-out pieces of work which are created by folding his original material in half.
His work is incredibly precise and holds alot of detail in just one piece.
”I guess I am trying to look for a language of folding; so with this series I want to cover as many cut & fold variations as i can to maybe find out some of the underlying visual (3D) and pattern (2D) principles.”   -http://www.planet-mag.com/2011/art/lizzi-reid/elod-beregszaszi/



Ingrid Siliakus.

Ingrid Siliakus discovered paper architecture after viewing work by Prof. Masahiro Chatani in Japan, and ever since has been amazed and intrigued by its depth. Once Siliakus has a design idea, she usually makes somewhere between 20 and 30 mini sculptures to help define how to make the final piece. Her work is produced purely by cutting and folding. 

Peter Callesen.
Peter Callesens work is simply stunning. It is created from one single sheet of paper, making him think about how he will build his 3d sculpture from the off-cut of the shape in the sheet. His work is based around the relationship between 2-D and 3-D dimensions.  

 Helen Musslewhite.
Helen Musslewhite create stunning hand crafted scultpures which use mainly bold colours and strong graphic edges. She uses different textured, patterned and coloured paper to create her pieces. Her work is usually built up of lots of different layers, and creates quite a fairy-tale like outcome. 

 Matt Shlian.
Matt Shlian's work is created by very detailed paper folding. He claims, 
'I begin with a system of folding and at a particular moment the material takes over'
This explains how Shlian feels that the paper has a mind of its own and fold in the directions that it wants to fold in to create a sculpture.

repetitive forms.

Repetition, the main factor within this project.

Using natural forms found within the environment such as landscapes, rock formation, shells, wood & flowers, i researched further into the patterns which they form. One thing that attracted my attention most was the unique and beautiful patterns formed on shells.
