Free Abstract Cube Decoration for you to print out!
Published on Saturday, March 15, 2008 – 9:57 am
Here is a free graphic design abstract cube decoration that you can print out for decoration to remind you of Just Creative Design 
You can see above what the cube looks like when printed out and made up. Your size will be the mini one, it is approx 6×6x6 cm or 2.36 x 2.36 x 2.36 in. You can click on the picture below to download the template. You then print it (don’t forget to change print format to landscape), then cut it out, then sticky tape it together. It should take less than 3 minutes to complete. 
About The Cube This cube was part of a university project (view another uni project here) where we had to examine the use of common design symbols in an abstract context to help create a unified cohesive design which in the process will develop conceptual, critiquing and presentation skills. We had to work in black and white and choose use one typographic element (except letters) and then choose a single geometric shape. I chose the Helvetica Bold asterisk and the good old circle and you could use any amount of lines that you wished. After choosing these elements we had to design each side of the cube to different instructions. I won’t mention all the instructions here, but I’ll give you an example of one… 1. Using each element only once, incorporate type texture into the design. The context or meaning of the text is irrelevant. The emphasis on this design is to explore implied texture and tone. You can see my solution on the far bottom right of the 6 squares above (on the mount board). Anyway after we designed all 6 sides we had to construct the cube and also mount the designs on a board as you can see in the top picture. What are your thoughts? Please let me know if you print it out
Update:
Kod from Turkey has sent me his printed out and made up JCD cube which you can see below! Thanks!

Nice work! Seems like such a random project, but when they specify the aims like that it makes more sense. Good choice of characters

Thanks
Yeah it was pretty random, but sometimes you do get things like that. Ie. Try to make design look like a sound. We had that one in first year which was interesting.

Jacob,
Self-promos with no printing costs… you are going far, aren’t you? Very clever.
(You sure you’re not getting a business degree instead of design degree?)
Well done.
Regards,
Kelly

Sorry – I’ll have to pass on your invitation to print it out for assembly.
As a child of the 80’s I was horribly scarred by my ineptitude w/ Rubik’s cube. I haven’t touched anything remotely similar since.

Haha to be honest I don’t really expect anyone to print it out. It was only a quick added feature that I thought of while I was showing my uni work. Funny about your rubik’s cube problem!

I just love your abstract design, and it is really funny to build it
And thanks for publishing them.
I would like to see and build more things like this.

Well at the moment we are making a music cd label based on what we hear so that will be a bit abstract
