405 Object initial ideas

Idea 1

To create abstract 'paintings' using a candle, either drawing with the wax as if it were a pen or melting the wax and using the heated liquid to create shapes and colours. I went with the latter and produced some interesting results. The printed document could be an exhibition guide for an artist known for only working with red candle wax showing a small preview of his work. The guide would be designed just smaller than a4 so that it could be printed on a3 and bound together rather than having to print on a2.





A variation on this could include warped photographs of the candles he uses in his work





Idea 2

The second idea is collecting songs that contain the word 'fire' in their title and illustrating the band or artist in a weird continuous line style. Once I have a few illustrations I would take them into illustrator and covert them into vectors for better image quality when bringing everything together in InDesign. I would use a saddle stitch for this booklet and have it a5 portrait.

fire starter, the prodigy


relight my fire, take that

Idea 3

A poster for a ad campaign introducing new Yankee Candle scents, inspired by the research I conducted in which I found that you can get some really weird flavoured candles such as 'KFC'. With this in mind I had the idea of drawing out different designs for the weird scents in excel as a constraint; the scents would be inspired by weird flavoured walker crisps. The printing of this document would be a simple a3 poster on gloss paper to be used inside the shops on the walls or in the windows.
