FORM DEVELOPMENT Phase 2 Form exploration
I’m using different kind of cardboard and paper to test out as the packaging for my planter, and found out thicker cardboard is better than kraft paper because it’s more stable and tough. But for the round part, I’m still using thnner kraft paper for softer curves.
