During the summer of 2024, I worked as a Graphic Designer assistant (MANRVA Co.LTD) for the Japan Pavilion project at the Thailand National Science and Technology Fair 2024. Our clients were the Embassy of Japan in Thailand, the Cabinet Office of Japan and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Overview
I was tasked with designing the iconography for the QZSS banner in an origami style. My contributions for the 15 icons I had made, assisted the art direction for the additional origami-styled graphics
Research
Implementing the origami style for the icons involved extensive research and a deep dive into the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. I had to thoroughly study how various shapes and forms are created through intricate folds, analyzing the unique techniques that give origami its distinct structure. This understanding allowed me to design icons that authentically reflect origami's delicate and precise nature, capturing how these forms would appear in real life while maintaining a digital aesthetic.
