So the main conceit of the Super Berry Bun Buns is that they are cut-outable and sewable. Into stuffed animals. This concept has received raised eyebrows and 3 sales to date, but I’m still going to push with it a little bit more.

In that interest I bought 3 yards of fabric and printed some buns onto it. A couple nights ago I sewed up and stuffed my first buny pupu:

flava: strawberry

type: caustically happy

from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny bubu! You are caustically happy – a burbling eruption of giddy delight. Why can’t the other bun buns keep up with you? You think buny pupu should spend more of that brain power on having fun – same with buny beper… that bun needs to RELAX! Buny beru is your friend and always enjoys your tricks. When you sleep one night a week you first sit in the soft, sad and soothing darkness with buny susu.

flava: blue raspberry

type: genuinely friendly

from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny beru! You are genuinely friendly – an architect of friendship. You appreciate all the aspects of all the bun buns. You see how buny susu’s sadness secretly compliments buny beper’s enthusiasm. You see how buny bubu’s spontaneity compliments buny pupu’s more rigid demeanor. It pains you when they are not getting along, but when they are you take pride because you know it was in part due to your friendly little nudges.

flava: blackberry

type: comfortably sad

from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny susu… You are sad, and you are comfortable being sad. Your favorite bun bun is buny beru, who listens and listens to your endless sadness which flows like warm fresh poetry from your heart. Buny pupu means well but doesn’t listen well. You believe over-cheery buny bubu has secret wells of hidden sadness. Buny beper is antagonistic and way too busy.

flava: raspberry

type: unabashedly brainy

from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny pupu! You are unabashedly brainy and take great pride in being called a nerd, dork or geek. Buny beper’s your favorite bun because he needs your help on projects and buny beru’s a great pal who always invites you over for pizza. You’ve tried to cheer up buny susu but get frustrated when the cheer doesn’t stick. Buny bubu interests you from a research perspective.

flava: cherry berry

type: consistently enthusiastic

from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny beper! You are enthusiastic and energetic and you focus on getting things DONE. You value the intellectual input of buny pupu, as well as the good will that buny beru brings to projects. Buny bubu is too distractible for you and you avoid buny susu because that sadness just slows you down.

Super Berry Bun Bun buttons. Who wants some?

I need to make some more – I’ve been handing them out like candy. Which… actually… they kinda remind me of. When I opened up the design proofs I wanted to eat them up

Thanks to Ed of Xenographics who provides graphic design services in Raleigh-Durham, NC. And of course Eva, who helped with color choices and who makes contemporary, handmade jewelry as Rivet. Ed and I had a nice time banging out buttons in their workshop while Eva made a custom jewelry order.

So the Super Berry Bun Bun brochures are finished. Whew! This is sort of a mini-rosetta stone for understanding the personality of the individual buns. I will be writing more about them here, as soon as each bun bun has its own page.

front:

back:

(I’m not sure why the back scanned in a lighter shade of pink. Maybe I need new pixel cartridges for my scanner?)

For the design/diy nerds:
I made them entirely on a photo copy machine – I did my layout with scotch tape. They are one half of 8 1/2×11 paper cut the long way. There are 5 bun buns, so 5 into 11 inches is roughly 2 3/16″. I designed them so that each brochure can be cut into sections and made into individual shirt tags. Some shirts have more than one design though.

Also note that the words on the left are all stencil-ready designs. I’m not sure when/if I’ll be cutting stencils for shirts that read “Super Berry Bun Buns” but I have a solid first draft done should I choose to. What I’d do is blow them up on the copy machine to work out all the little kinks in design and even out my line weights.

One thing I didn’t mention – the cut-out and stuff idea behind the designs. I hope that’s explanatory enough by looking at them. I can always revise the brochure of course.

One more note:
I misspelled the word “consistently” on the brochure. That’s right – I gave it an A instead of an E. So the question is should I spell it incorrectly on the website. For the sake of consistancy? Oh well
