We have recently been experimenting with classic techniques such as Quilling (The art of paper rolling and folding to create beautiful shapes) for the Jersey Arts Trust – Artists Directory.
Initially, we started to make the artwork by hand but due to deadline demands had to come up with a plan to speed up the process. The visuals were all drawn up by Paul at The Observatory as a series of bezier curves which were then stylised into the typography.
Once the Illustrator files were complete we passed them onto Robbie (The Render Machine) to work his 3D magic in Cinema 4d.
This allowed us to create the desired effect at a fraction of the time it would have taken to build by hand with the same home made look and feel. The finished visuals
will appear in the JAT Directory which is free for all Islanders and will be available on Monday 31st May in various locations such as; Arts Center, The Bean, JAT HQ and various
retailers across the Island. Grab your free copy and please let us know what you think.

Absolutely beautiful! Would love to see this marketed as a digital font in a true type format…I’m a card maker and would be excited to add this to my ‘toolbox’! Any possibility this could happen?

Cool! That’s a cveler way of looking at it!
Can you make a tutorial?
What cinema 4d product is being used?
From memory it was C4D 10.5, probably using VRay for rendering.
We’re currently in the process of moving studios and once done, we’ll be putting up a new website, after which I’ll do a tutorial for this technique.
I´m an artisan and I love paper handcrafts, but I think your work is wonderful. Can you make a tutorial?
Thanks for sharing.
