Essence of Tigrikorn



I’ve been stuck on Day 209 of my 365-day project for four days.

This morning, before even getting out of bed, I started wondering: What kind of item could I design a container for that normally would never need packaging? The spark hit me, and by the end of the day, I finally built it.

I started thinking of Tigrikorn not just as a comic character, but as a living psychological concept. Once I started typing out the product copy, the whole design clicked into place.

Even though it took a few days to pull off, this turned out to be one of my favorite assignments of the entire project so far!
