Creativity at its best: Laser-cut seaweed makes for designer sushi rolls.

Japanese ad agency I&SBBDO was approached by a client who wanted to boost their flagging business after the 2011 tsunami in Japan– the product, however, was nori (sheets of Japanese seaweed used in sushi). In an effort to reinvent this simple square of seaweed without losing sight of the age-old traditions embedded in their culture, I&SBBDO decided to laser cut classic Japanese patterns into the paper-thin nori sheets.

Each pattern is meant to symbolize good fortune, happiness, and longevity, etc. and the result is a delicate, unexpected reinvention of the classic Japanese food with a modern twist.

The five designs are Sakura (Cherry Blossoms), Mizutama (Water Drops), Asanoha (Hemp), Kikkou (Turtle Seashell), Kumikkou (Tortoise Shell).

Check it out! Marty McFly made an awesome 3D model of the original BMO watch concept! One step closer to becoming a thing in real life!

We had to create a stationery package for ourselves in our logo class.

I decided that my company name will be Zeel.

A logo design project for my winter term final in logo design class.

We were to create a logo for our class and we were only given the name of our “company”, “Lucid”.

We also had to have 5 key words and a design rational:
“Brilliant Intelligible Sensible Eccentric Vivid”
“The dream bubble represents that as designers, we think outside the box. The character is having a lucid dream, which are dreams you can control. It represents how devoted we are to design, that we dream design. We shape the drams of our clients into reality.”
