To finish of my Christmas Presents I decided not to give into the £1 generic Christmas wrapping paper and decided to make my own.

For this you will need.

> A Printer (I use a R1800, as It allows me to print A3, and a roll of A3 (effectively double the width of A3).
> A sketch of something Christmas, I drew a rather odd looking snowflake.
> Photoshop.
> Some blank newspaper, I picked mine up from the London Graphic Center. It cost 20p for a A1 Sheet, in which I cut into half.

I’m now working on my final year project. We were allowed to create our own brief. I wanted to work on a project that would be very Web 2.0, and would allow me use a whole bunch of new interaction design methodology. I decided to pick the 60+ crowd to design a product to encourage social interaction. I think this project is going to be really challenging and I can’t wait.

Hey Web visitor! I have uploaded my own crimbo tree and reindeer designs for all you people to have. I have 3 different type of Christmas trees, and my own ‘wonkey’ and cute reindeer. The legs may need a little bit of reinforcement, but mine are standing fine.

I got this idea from the overpriced MUJI reindeer and trees, these are selling at £4 – £8 each! I’m going to be uploading some similar more angular reighdeer soon, and even making a 4ft CNC routerd crimbo tree. Watch this space… but until the end of the week you can get downloading my tress, and reignderr

DOWNLOAD Reindeer.

DOWNLOAD the Trees.

Download the reindeer for any 3mm sheeting, I used Live Edge, which glows. Although clear acyclic is just as classy!
