A short summary of your project
I'm raising £1000 to create a section of publication to educate people on the importance of design. The funds will cover printing and binding costs, allowing me to distribute the publication at my final show and within the community. Additionally, I aim to set up workshops to teach the value of humor in design. The money will help secure a venue and cover workshop expenses. Your support will help bring this educational and engaging project to life, making a positive impact on the design community.
Who are you?
I am a final year graphic design student with an interest in playful physical design. My work aims to push the boundaries of design and explore new creative territories.
Your story
I'm seeking support to publish a book exploring humour in package design through metaphor, personification, and synecdoche. Featuring the work of 32 talented designers, this book delves into creative strategies that make packaging amusing and engaging.
I aim to highlight the side of package design, a field where humour can transform everyday consumer experiences. This project is my passion, combining design and storytelling to inspire creativity and connect people through laughter.
