Handcrafted Piece
For the portfolio show to advertise myself, I designed a trinket box with my branding. Inside the box contains a pin I designed, 5 pill-shaped capsules with personal messages, a heart-shaped flower petal preserved and cut out, my business card, and a sticker I designed. Trinket boxes are often used out of products we consume, such as mints or gum, for mine I chose a cigarette box since my promotional pieces overall align with the themes of death and rebirth, which speaking of, I also designed a bookmark with a more spacial inspiration of death that happens outside of what we can see. Putting a warning here, the cigarette box functions as a trinket box, in no way shape or form is the box functioning as a legitimate design for cigarettes.
