Description
This is one of my Uni project that I completed earlier on in the year. Its a 3D interlocking and modular papercraft cube version of the food pyramid.There are 50 food cubes in total:
- oil, butter, sugar
- milk, yoghurt, cheese
- chicken, beef, fish, (baked) beans, nuts, egg
- apple, pear, banana, orange, lime, pineapple, tamarello, watermellon, kiwi fruit, mango, passion fruit, strawberry,
- lettuce, red capsicum (bell pepper), yellow capsicum (bell pepper), red tomato, yellow tomato, potato, corn, aubergine (egg plant), courgette (zucchini), avocado, onion, carrot,
- bread, shell pasta, udon noodles, instant noodles, rice, fresh pasta, dry crackers, waffles, cornflakes, rolled oats,
- water and ice
The cubes are about 10cm³ and each side is interchangeable, so you could have half mango and half yogurt cube. I created the 3D template and then applied hi-res photographic textures (of each food item that I shot) in Photoshop. And then printed them out onto 250gsm paper, scored, cut and glued them together - it took a long time to complete.
If there is enough interest, I'll upload the individual group photos at a later stage. Many thanks go to and for their assistance.

Hey, I've had a look for my files (which were archived 2 years ago, now) and I seem to have lost them - I must have accidentally deleted them in the endeavour to free up space. It's not a big deal - I can always remake them again, but it's gonna take some time. Private message me your email address, and lets have a talk about how I can help you.

Hahaha! Thank you!
This was my first attempt at what I now know to be packaging in it's infancy. I actually want to revisit this again, and apply the skill I've aquired over the last 12 months to them, just to make them less embarrassing. But I'll have to dig up the files ... if I can remember where I stashed them, lol!

So you put some of your Uni suff even on dA, finally!
I always thought they were solid, from the photos... Maybe I should've read the captions! XD

Yeah, I thought I'd put the papercraft related stuff on DA ... I dunno if I should submit the other stuff, though. What do you think?
Solid? Like wood? lol!

Yeah, something like wood, or plastics! They look shiny!
If I were you, I'd publish them even here, they all look great!
