Today I’m sharing an idea in multiples. I think that it’s easier to grasp a concept when you can see it applied in more than one way. The concept I'm sharing is the glueless pocket folder.
What’s great about Fold of the Week #565:
- I’ve got 3 entirely different design ideas for creating functional pocket folders that don’t use glue. I think you'll be inspired by the possibilities.
- This is a powerful concept for anyone with eco-conscious clients, or eco-forward brands.
- There’s a fun DIY element to this type of design, where you can skip a step in the production process and save money if you want to.
I think you’ll be intrigued by the creative solutions from TBG Design & Illustration, Marketing by Design, and Louey/Rubino Design Group. I hope you enjoy the episode.
