3D Illustration
Tiny trees, baby books and even compact cupcakes were created for the James Cropper Speciality Papers website. The idea behind these 3D illustrations was to highlight and somehow visually capture the creative possibilities paper offers.
Showing these tactile qualities in a 2D medium was the challenge. Recreating paper effects digitally wasn't appropriate, as this wouldn't promote paper but suggest that paper can be replaced. And so a series of models were created that even though viewed in a digital medium have a distinct handmade quality. No smoke and mirrors, just a lot of cutting, folding and glueing.
