SCAD Students Rising to the Challenge : 3D Paper Product Design

How many times have I raved about folded paper and 3D paper projects? If you’re going to fold anyway, why not make it epic? When Yavne, Israel sent me this coverage from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I knew I had to pass it along to you!

3D Paper Designs from SCAD How many times have I raved about folded paper and 3D paper projects? If you’re going to fold anyway, why not make it epic? When Yavne, Israel sent me this coverage from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I knew I had to pass it along to you!

Highcon invited students at the Savannah College of Art and Design to take part in a 3D Paper Product Design Challenge. Students from all years, and from all of SCAD’s locations (Savannah, Atlanta, Hong Kong and students studying online) majoring in Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Jewelry, Illustration, Fashion Marketing and Management were invited to form teams to participate.

The aim of the challenge was to produce the most innovative, feasible, and applicable product that they could design, in a way that would demonstrate clearly the amazing benefits of the Highcon digital cutting and creasing technology. Different projects and ideas were well researched and implemented on substrate supplied by Iggesund Paperboard and digitally finished on the Highcon Euclid.

62 teams and over 140 students participated in the challenge and submitted original designs.

Eshchar Ben-Shitrit, VP Marketing at Highcon said:

Quoting  begins The SCAD students showed not only creativity but also a keen sense of design for the real world. We could see how their imagination and originality enabled the creation of products with a strong “wow effect” but also an applicable use case determined by a market need. The winning products will be displayed on the Highcon booth at drupa – the print and packaging show to be held at the end of May 2016. Quoting  ends

Professor Trudy Abadie-Mendia, SCAD Professor of Graphic Design said:

Quoting  begins The Highcon 3D Paper Design Challenge was a wonderful opportunity for our students to collaborate in designing unique paperboard solutions in a short amount of time. This was a cross-campus collaboration using our online platform as the main form of communication. For many students, this was a first. We are quite impressed with the results of this Challenge!

3rd Place – Galaxy Lightbulb

A custom package for single LED light bulbs. The inset of the bottom panel floats and protects the bulb and acts as a base to stand on display shelves. It also leaves the bulb threading exposed to allow consumers to screw the bulb into light sockets without removing it from the packaging. Pinholes in the shape of different constellations, pierced on each panel, projects a starry night when lit in a dark room. By Ken Macalino, a Junior in Industrial Design and Madison Gross, a Senior in Graphic Design.
