FPFP Final project
In this Lobulo course you will learn the basic techniques to transform a flat typography into something tangible and real that you can model to your liking.
After inspiring you with several references of papercraft, Lobulo will show you how to create mockups on paper, your first sketch of a three-dimensional letter. Next, you will scan the sample and learn how to touch it on the computer to obtain the pattern of a digital letter that can be printed as many times as you want. Once all the samples have been prepared, you will start assembling the set. Here you will learn techniques for folding and assembling molds without wrinkles or damage. And finally, the final photo, with some last tricks to maximize your work of lettering. Ready to impress!
WHAT IS THE FINAL PROJECT OF THE COURSE?
The main idea of the course is to create a signage lettering as before but with methods and tools that we all have within reach, trying to spend more time outside the computer and learning to enjoy working with hands. Your plastic teacher would be proud of you.

Reviews
Good, here you have me. I'm Lobulo and I'm currently working as a set designer for different clients and agencies. I started in the papercraft about 2009 when, from a Christmas postcard that I made for my friends, they contacted me as an illustrator for some editorial articles. Since then, I have worked for almost everyone, with clients such as Google, Coca-Cola or Telefónica, among others.
