An Ordinary Object
Bic Retractable blue ink Biro Pen.
Celebrating the complexity,simplicity and beauty of an ordinary biro pen.The leaflet is designed in a long folded concertina to look like in the form of long blue biro pen.
To discover the interest of the ink manufacturing process let me intrigue into design what a pen is really made up of all those chemical materials.I have designed to explore with letting the meaning out what an ordinary ballpoint pen is made up of “chemical elements’. I specifically choose Bic retractable blue ink biro.
process: cut the long information piece straight with a scalpel and folded to make the concertina with a creasing machine carefully.
The long folded biro pen concertina is based on the idea what an ordinary pen is really made up of chemical elements.
The technique that I have used was to Cyanotype the concertina was printed on special cartridge paper, the ink work really well on the paper for the biro pen therefore the chemicals that I have design on the information piece of an ordinary object of a biro pen will suite the subject matter in which that I have used the technique Cyanotype.
process: washed out biro pen long information piece Cyanotype. The long folded biro pen concertina came out quiet well.
The first one came out perfectly bright blue ink biro pen.
The second one came out quiet better than a stain lighter off course, it let the effect perfectly settled on the cartridge paper that looked quiet nice with a light blue printed stain and the antique look and feel to the cartridge paper that did not watch out quiet well with a stain of lighter cream yellow.
Beforehand I did loads of different experiments that came out quiet different to each other i.e. square folds and more dark blue ink stains with the washed outs of Cyanotype.
