update: a few word about this paper-box: it was fun to make this colorfull version
of a packaging and also the folding works perfect…
but finally i don’t think it’s the right kind of packaging for the Datahunter ’cause
the style is too much like every mass-produced toy from china. It dosn’t hit the look
for an unique handcrafted toy like the Datahunter…what you think?
(yes, and i really fixed my nikon coolpix! :)
my lovely cam (coolpix990) is broken :( …so no pictues at this time, but at least
i have to post this template for a package of the DataHunters in processes. I was trying
to work with sketches and had a vage layout concept in my mind. Then i vectorized
my line drawings and do the inking afterwards with Illustrator.
Had the biggest problem to place all the necessary informations somewhere, set
points of interests, get everything together and ajust the colorrange.
I’ve printed different variations on 350g/m2 Brisrol Paper, cuted out, folded the packaging and attached the transparent window before glueing all together. Picures will folowing when i can finally grab another cam (..or maybe i should try to repair the old one:)
What u think? Anyone experience in print- and punching processes? Could use some advices…thx

DataHunter is such a lazzy&tired guy, so he really needs a sleepingbag :)
Since a while i check out different clothes for my DataHunter with my friend Sara, who has handsewed this whole collection. I think, has done a great job :) We checked out all style of materials and finally we have found the best fit: a soft and shiny jersey for his sleepingbag. All the details have consuming a lot of development time till we found the best pattern for sewing, the right band for the loop or the cellphonecord.
This kinky pink bag will help to protect your DataHunter on his daily travels, hunting from computer to computer :)
At the time we have only a odd lot of this material, but yesterday i’ve got other fluffy jersey color exsamples from germany, so i have to get more stuff! have to order tomorrow :) i think anthrazit(nearly black) and a shiny golden piece is next.
any suggestions for a name??? :)

It’s time for a short update about our new friend the DataHunter: He is still scurry arround in our massivecut-lab, and we have to look good after him. Some nights he gorge oneself with all our best datas and about noon he wakes up, most the time terribly tired. Than he hangs arround the whole afternoon without doing anything: he’s just a lazy datahunter, but in good faith :)
Not only game console inspires us for new molds. There are a lot of other electronic devices which could have a more friendly surfaces.
A few weeks ago the idea for a DataHunter was born. Pepe is the father of the little hungry guy. His obsession is your daily data! Watch the pictures and guess who will pitch into your files…
Hi there; it’s 2 in the night and André and Pepe started hours ago
with the production of the caribbiean series. I joined them to give
feedbacks and entertain them during the long night. So what’s this
all about?
Art on game consoles, art on xbox 360. Its about giving the cold skin of
the xbox a new look and feeling. We try to transport the worlds of
our favorit games to the living rooms. So we decided to design and
produce handmade 3D-XBox 360 Faceplates.
All series will be limited to a number of pieces. We start with our
“treasure island” series! All plates are handmade and handpainted
and every one has a unique look. So you like to have a special
artwork for your xbox-case? we’ll post soon the first pictures
of the finished treasure islands…
well, exhausting times…soon we have to move house, or should i say change the clothes :). under pressure work is often more fun&challenge for me. i have designed in since two nights our new webpage. on the cutout you see the rough template frames are set, the type and logo comes next week…so everybody is ready to move on?
…sorry for so long no posting, i’ve got some new clay and now i’m totally addicted to my modelling works and forgot to show you what’s upcomming. here are some teasers of the evil demon i’m carving (i spend my last nights on him ;). he’s only rough cutted and i try to find the final form for his mouth..evildevil.
still in progress, but i think the rough-cut is done…i have to carve the middle part structur more evenly to get the attention on the flow arround the power button. maybe i will lighten the arrows above a bit, they point in every direction and disturb the main flow too much.
-
this stencil background from the theme “movement” was my inspiration for this kind of faceplate style. i have sprayed it on canvas a few years ago for one of my portfolio’s.
early in the morning…it’s time to post here the some pic’s of my xbox 360 degree arrow style. i still have to go closer to the power button with more arrows and find a way to smooth out on the upper part…but first i have to get some sleep now :)

a few days ago i made a bloody thing to carry out tests and see what’s possible with casting molds. i’ve tried different prototype shapings and mouldings. see here the some images of my prototype. i have to say i was quite surprised with the result (srry about the bad picture quality, they are only cellphone fotos). my bloodstain looks nice on nearly every surface. in fact, i have first concepted the blood splatter for the xbox 360 front, but now it turn’s out as a thing for plain surfaces like my powerbook ;-).
the “bloody splatter” is limited to 200 pieces - now ready for shipping -> READ MORE

my workflow thread for them, who interested in the process of such a molten stone 360 faceplate. i think it’s ok to keep my expirience for me alone, but it’s much more exiting to share it with you and get feedbacks from you :)
