Studio Brief 02 - Self Branding independent foiling (heat transfer)

For the self branding brief, I wanted to learn a new practical technique method for my self branding logo. I decided to do foiling (heat transferring or double sided sticky tape). 

This experiment was quite success considering it was my first time trying this without an induction and learning via the internet on youtube video.

To make the foil transfer to the paper I had to use a laminator for this to happen. The ink of the printer had to be a black toner in order for it to stick properly. Sometimes when I tried to transfer foil onto the shape I created it didn't transfer well as I aspected. This is either because of the laminator was not hot enough for the foil to transfer or the toner did not print well. Leaving patches, which is shown below with the images I had taken. 

Overall, after a few practices I manage to get the transferring to work and I think I will proceed with this process for my self branding overall.
