SpongeBob Squarepants

So...I needed some time out after the excursions of Luxembourg and Colophon. I decided to do what any like minded creative individual would do and take in some cultural expanding television in the overly saturated form of SpongeBob Square Pants!

The relevance comes in the form of the DVD and its intuitive packaging design. The user friendly design allows the user to choose from a number of facial expressions for Bob, and if you want to, undress him.

The design is simple enough with a triple fold-out design - one end cover is cut in half and double printed to allow the top/bottom to fold around to reveal/mask the other side. The square semi-naked SpongeBob then sits into his clothes - a separate box - to complete the look.

After my very first initial projects playing with paper designs I discovered a passion for creating all things paper and I feel similiar designs and deviations with paper puzzles could be used for displaying my final imagery. A physical platform to display and interpret the levels and differences in multiple personality disorders could relate beautifully. If I can design a puzzle that allows the user to peel back the skin of the onion to reveal a picture or play around with the composition of the face - then that could fit all my aspirations in perfectly. These are ideas that I am going to try out for the next chapter of the project.
