Sorry Sorry Hampers Design by Pitu Studio

Ramadan is the most awaited event in this country, as the majority of the Indonesian are Muslims. Traditionally, in the spirit of Ramadan traveling back home is one of the must things to do as we will celebrate Hari Raya with our loved ones.

It is been 2 years since the pandemic. A lot of people were missing their chance to come back home to their loved ones during the Ramadan. Finally, we are here now, we can travel back and celebrate Hari Raya as it is supposed to be! We are designing a special Eid Mubarak hamper as a sweet compliment to commemorate this moment. 

Inspired by the festivities of Eid Mubarak, bold, fun, and bright color combinations are used to celebrate these joyous moments. We hope that these special hampers can be the sweetest treats that can be shared with your family and loved ones during these special holidays.

Brand Identity for Lodoso by Wikka Studio

Lodoso (as in muddy) is a space where experiences are shared through the creation of pottery. It is a split between a workshop where pottery making is taught, and a store that sells final products such as vases.

Lodoso has a relaxed and casual mood where students go to escape their everyday and share with each other. It is characterized as a place where everyone creates by getting their hands dirty.

The graphic proposal was based on creating a fun, casual and happy brand. The idea of both the logo, as well as the pictogram are to simulate having been created with mud. A fresh and fun chromatic palette was proposed to allude to the essence of the project.

The niche has been used as a headboard by wallpapering it. It is subtle yet showy at the same time.

I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.

In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.

Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.

Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.

Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!

Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.

In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)

And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.

And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'

All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.

So, I have a design class in university right now (summer classes are super accelerated and kicking my ass tbh), but I saw a beautiful photo here on Tumblr that was nearly perfect for the one point perspective extra credit prompt we had for the week, so I said fuck it why not? It took like an hour to sketch and color it all, pretty roughly, but I'm in love with it???? Like I've said before, I kinda wanna share some school stuff here, but ehhhhh? Anywho! Enjoy my lil doodle if ya want :3
