Baroque

Week 1 - 2 

Regarding to Packaging class' mid-term project, we devided into 3 groups. And my groups are Maydeline from batch 7 and Eberta from batch 9. So our lecture gave us some unfamiliar words that will be our keywords : 



  • Bismuth
  • Noir 
  • Salamander 
  • Baroque 
  • Gestalt
We picked baroque as our keywords, 

The Baroque (US /bəˈrk/ or UK /bəˈrɒk/) 
is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, and music. The style began around 1600 in RomeItaly and spread to most of Europe.

Week 4

For this week we picked what kind of style that we will use. we sketch our logo and illustrated. We also decided our product's name, tè.

tè .
|ti:| is italy language means tea. It also continuation of  The Èponine , which èponine means love and one of character from Le Miserables musical that took place at revolution of france time. Èponine has a one side love for Marius , but unfortunately Marius in loves with Cosettes. But Èponine didn't stop loving him and sacrifice her self by took the shoot that supposed to kill Marius. So I interpreted Eponine as everlasting love.




Èponine death

We use flowers and bird as our elements, because our concept is feminine.  And every flowers and birds have meanings and emotions. For the flowers illustration references i bought some flowers. I've tried to scan the real flowers but unfortunately the come out is not as good as i imagine. So , we decided to illustrate both the flowers and the birds.
