THE MAKING OF CIBO

let's take a look at the journey that CIBO, my final year graduation project went through.

incase you need a little backstory, "CIBO; YOUR MEAL PREP PARTNER" was my graduation project i presented for uni in May of 2023. CIBO is a full-service solution that provides you with pre-measured, pre-cut and "pre-ready" raw ingredients for recipes that make your life easier. This project involved the entire branding for this fictitious company, and the brand-building from scratch.

this is a journal entry of some of the behind-the-scenes photos of the process of bringing CIBO to life.

started from the bottom,

a little experiment before the project began - trying to

recreate the CIBO logo for my ceramics class

a another experiment - exploring a

3D model of the (then initial packaging)

the very first die-cuts that led to the final packaging - my initial design was inspired by a lunchbox shape. i later adopted a shape inspired by a grocery bag which fit the vibes of my project much better

the final packaging!

i also made some stickers with the illustrations that came out of CIBO to hand out

to the people who walked by my stall. also yes, i did cut them all out by hand.

some people also got these "NESSART16 Samplers", which was a little package I put together

containing my resume, the CIBO illustration memoir, an art print, some stickers and my business card

the illustration memoir i put together - immediately after i got them printed. this felt really special.

another incredible moment - my project brand manual, fresh off the printer.

some test prints ~

getting a laser cut acrylic logo done - this process was so interesting to watch!

photography exploration for the ad campaigns - i wanted to recreate

a simple kitchen scene at home that featured CIBO in use

the picture that came from the set-up

this is the idea i had initially - the fact that sundays can

be reserved for kitchen dance parties; and CIBO would take care of the meals

the other idea - a version of this one made it to the final display

getting some sunboard displays printed - these were so huge!

my initial idea for my stall design - apart from a few things, i was really able to bring my vision to life

the night before the final show - hours and hours of setting up

is masking tape my best friend???

we were making a placeholder for the display boards here to see what they looked like in action

the final set up

and we're done :)

the and that's me! and yes, i matched my outfit to my stall colours for all the days we were set up.

and then we got to here.
