XANITA - PROTOTYPE 1:1

STARTING TO PROTOTYPE MY ONE TO ONE...WORKING OUT THE RIGHT FOLDS AND ANGLES REQUIRED..SO FAR NOT AS EASY AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE!

CONCEPT PLAN

FLAT PLAN...AT THIS STAGE I HAVE PRETTY MUCH WORKED OUT ALL MY ANGLE FOLDS...
STILL HAVE TO WORK OUT THE RIGHT ANGLES AND INTERLOCKING TABS

ONE TO ONE- FINAL CONCEPT!!!

I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH THIS CONCEPT NOT ONLY IS IT REALLY STRONG BUT THE FORM IS REALLY INTERESTING. I LIKE THE FACT THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE ARE WHERE YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THE RAW FORM OF THE CARDBOARD, EVERYTHING ELSE IS NICELY COVERED UP WITH SMOOTH FOLDS.
