"After passing out of the Art College, I’ve been in advertising for 7 years thinking and executing campaignable ideas to the specific needs of a brand. While working on designs that are comprehensible and communicate to a large audience I started getting drawn to the abstract thinking process too. I expressed this by experimenting with my photographic and drawing skills in my free time. I started enjoying the forms that travel and take their own shapes, which made me explore and experience further the new dimensions of the graphic language. In all of this i started blogging! which made me think everyday something quirky and break the rules which you yourself restrict by your own limited way of looking at certain things.....and yes still very much exploring :)"

A quick recipe from Paper Engineer Sachin George Sebastian


Ingredients:-
1)paper                - 1 table full
2)glue                  - 1 bottle (500mg)
3)scissor              - few sharp cuts
4)paper cutter       - 1
5)blades               - 1 handful
6)cutting mat        - 1 table full
7)concepts           - few thoughtful
8)client brief          - if necessary
9)time                   - depends on 7 & 8
10)love&patience   - unlimited


Process:-

Step 01
-Get the concepts (client's brief) washed and cooked for few days/weeks just to make things clear in your head. Add a lot of love at intervals for better results.
 Step 02
-Once  the concept is ready, try out cutting few small paper with scissor to get a basic draft on what to make. This step doesn't need any detailed cuts, but all elements should be cut in place. You will end up in a white dummy.
Step 03
-Now that the white dummy is ready, mix the step 01 on to few big sheets placed over the cutting mat. Use a paper cutter with sharp blades to carve out the details. This process can go upto few weeks/months. so u need to keep the patience throughout this step.

Things to remember:-

-Never loose your patience.
-Keep referring back to the step 02 and feel free to add more details at any point of time.
-Don't forget to change the blades occasionally.
-Keep your hands washed and dry every 45 min.
-Cutting mat should have only the main artwork at any given time.
-Rest of the small paper chops to be dropped off the table (not in the bin for now ).
-You must be now finding yourself surrounded with paper chops all over the room.
-In the end, that cutting mat on the table, carrying your latest creation, will answer all the questions you had for your patience.
-Surprise yourself, keep smiling:)
