Paper Folding


The goal of this design is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper.
Furthermore, it is to show how different paper reflected the light.

What is paper

Paper is thin material mainly used for writing upon, printing upon or packaging. It is produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.
The earliest recorded forms of paper were in use in Egypt in around 3500 BC, made from the paprusplant. True paper is believed to have originated in China in approximately the 2nd century AD, although there is some evidence for it being used before this date. The use of paper spread from China through the Islamic world, and entered production in Europe in the early 12th century. Mechanised production of paper in the early 19th century caused significant cultural changes worldwide, allowing for relatively cheap exchange of information in the form of letters, newspapers and books for the first time.
Paper is a versatile material with many uses. Whilst the most common is for writing and printing upon, it is also widely used as a packaging material, in many cleaning products, and in a number of industrial and construction processes, and occasionally as a food ingredient, particularly in Asian cultures.

How Gen Y related to hip hop

Gen Yers respond to humor, irony, and the (apparently) unvarnished truth
- (one success company that targeted gen y ) Arizona Jeans brand has a new campaign showing teens mocking ads that attempt to speak their language. The tagline? ''Just show me the jeans.''
- Young consumers have shown that they'll switch their loyalty in an instant to marketers that can get ahead of the style curve.
- need to craft products and pitches that are more realistic
- the product should be a convergence of music, fashion, media, and technology (such mix and match with different element)

''This is the sound of new America,'' said Martin Luther, a rising rock musician from San Francisco. ''I'm coming to kill all the slave masters' memories! Hip-hop gave us that voice that allowed us to create who we were. Black rock 'n' roll is now a next something for those kids who've grown up, who still have that urban energy, but have experienced some pain to where they don't feel embarassed about showing some vulnerability.''

Type of front for hip hop







world smallest mp3 player


The most impressive feature is the fact that the World’s Tiniest MP3 player weighs less than one ounce! The headphones, which are included with your purchase, weigh as much as the 2GB MP3 player as well. You can take it with you to the gym, office, hiking, or any other activity and you’ll forget you are even wearing it save the fact that you’ll have CD quality sound playing in your ears
