Abstract [sv]

Detta projekt är uppdelat i tre delar med en undersökande del, kreativ del och en reflekterande del. I den undersökande delen finns min uppsats om biomimik inom förpackningsdesign. I uppsatsen genomförs en typ av litteraturundersökning om vad som finns skrivet runt ämnet biomimik inom förpackningsdesign. Det man kunde ta utifrån resultatet av undersökningen är att det existerar väldigt lite litteratur om ämnet biomimik inom förpackningsdesign, av det material som hittades var man dock väldigt positiv till biomimik som förhållningssätt. 

 

Utifrån min uppsats gav jag mig själv briefen att "få designers att ta mer inspiration från naturen". Med min brief skapade jag under den kreativa delen Biotype, ett typsnitts gjuteri där man skapar fonter med inspiration från naturen. Målet är att inspirera designers att ta mer inspiration från naturen. Biotype sprider också viktig information om miljöproblem och andra hot mot naturen genom sina typsnitt. Arbetet ledde till skapandet av sex olika fonter, varsin animation till varje font, webbshop och en låda med posters på varje typsnitt. 

 

I min reflekterande del visar jag upp mitt utställningsarbete som bestod av en pitch tillsammans med en utställning av mitt kreativa projekt. Jag visar också upp den digitala publiceringen och avslutar med en reflektion över hela arbetet.

 

Abstract [en]

This project is divided into three parts with an investigative part, creative part and a reflective part. In the investigative part, there is my essay on biomimicry in packaging design. In the essay, a type of literature survey is carried out on what has been written around the subject of biomimicry in packaging design. What could be taken from the results of the survey is that there is very little literature on the subject of biomimicry in packaging design, from the material that was found, however, one was very positive about biomimicry as an approach.

 

Based on my essay, I gave myself the brief to "get designers to take more inspiration from nature". With my brief, during the creative part I created Biotype, a font foundry where you create fonts with inspiration from nature. The goal is to inspire designers to take more inspiration from nature. Biotype also spreads important information about environmental problems and other threats to nature through its typefaces. The work led to the creation of six different fonts, an animation for each font, a web shop and a box of posters on each font.

 

In my reflective part, I show my exhibition work which consisted of a pitch together with an exhibition of my creative project. I also present the digital publication and conclude with a reflection on the entire work.
