Artistic Design and Collaboration


Since I was young, I was always taught to view tattoos as something that ends up being regrettable and casts you in the light of a rebel. There was no other way of looking at it, especially considering my uncle was someone who often got in trouble with the law and had tattoos covering his entire body. If anything, that served as “a reminder” not to get a tattoo of my own.


But as I’ve grown to see the world in a different light, I’m realizing more and more how tattoos are nothing but a means of expressing yourself. And if anything, more and more people are beginning to get at least one tattoo, to the point that they’re in the mainstream more than a mark of the rebellious.

So, in the past year I’ve told myself that I would home in on an idea that resonates with me and would work quite well as a tattoo. While I’m a pretty indecisive person and like to change my mind all the time, I think I’ve zeroed in on a design that I thought up based on one of my favorite musicians’ songs. In fact, I’ve even sat down with some thin slats from cardboard boxes and constantly drawn different designs with a sharpie. While I’m no artist in the slightest, this has given me a way to map out what I do like and what I don’t like about certain shapes and lines and themes and layouts.

I won’t actually be the one to design my own tattoo, of course. I think leaving that up to the tattoo artist themself is actually far more beneficial for me getting the tattoo since this leaves the creative direction in the hands of an actual artist. And really, all the great tattoo artists out there actually prefer this so that they can feel more comfortable and confident in the design as it comes along. If they feel like they’re doing a stencil of someone else’s design, it’s not as fun or engaging for them, and they won’t be nearly as proud of their work.

So, my sessions with pieces of cardboard boxes is merely to get a concept in mind. The more I rule out what I dislike and keep close the things I like, the more I can describe the design to a potential artist (or even show them concept ideas). For most artists, this probably is exactly what they want to hear and see while still being able to take their own shot at the concept.

Using Cardboard Boxes For Shipping


Cardboard boxes are useful for shipping when a company is attempting to ship out all its items. There are many items that may be placed in cardboard boxes, and the boxes are quite simple to use as compared with other products on the market. Someone who has invested in the boxes may pack their own items, and they may turn them into gift boxes if they like. This article explains how the boxes may be turned into gift boxes when necessary.

#1: Creating A Lid

The lid that has been created for the box will help make it look more like a gift box, and the lid may be cut out easily. It will help people ensure that they are building the sort of gift box that looks traditional. The box may be closed in a number of ways, and it will be quite easy to decorate after it has been cut out properly.

#2: Decorating The Exterior


The exterior of the box may be painted and decorated in a number of ways. There are a number of ways to decorate the box's exterior, and someone who is searching for a better box will use their favorite colors or the favored colors fo the recipient. The box may have many bows or paper on it, and it may be decorated in many ways that look completely different from what is standard.

#3: Addressing The Box

The box may have an address on it to show it is going to, and it will be easy to set up for anyone who is to receive a gift. The box may not need to be addressed, and that panel may be left closed. The box will be easier for everyone to use when they have left a place to ship it, and they will notice that they have freedom to cut out the address panel in the size that they believe is best for their needs.

#4: The Box May Be Cut To Any Size

The box may be cut to any size, and it will be much easier to use because it will not be too large for the items you are shipping. You may send anything you like in the box, and it will fit easily. The box will be far simpler to use because it will be simpler to pack, and you may duct out the box to fix the packing materials that's you have chosen. You have quite a lot of freedom when you are setting up the box, and you may cut and tape it as you see fit. Taping all sides before decorating makes the box easier to use, and you will notice that you have a much easier time using the box when it has been cut well.



You may ship away anything you like in a gift box that you cut yourself, and you will find it simple to build when you take down a simple box that you have sitting around the house. You will notice that there are many different things you may ship in your custom boxes, and you may decorate them in a custom fashion for the person who will receive them. You are giving them something beautiful, and you will offer them a gift that they will cherish in a lovely box.
