Weekly Progression

I have started my initial ideas this week. I've started looking at different materials and different size, shapes etc. I think this is what should be looked at first before I start designing anything for it.

These are the ideas I came up with. I didn't want to do something really fancy, I just want to keep everything simple.
















We also had a lecture on how to create a net for a box in illustrator. It's not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I think I have worked well this week and not had to worry too much about my time management. 

Weekly Progression

This week I finalized all my research and presented it. Here's some images from my research.

I chose all these because they're very quirky designs. I like how original they are and how colorful they are. 


















After I did my research and presented it I started in my sketchbook. I started off by doing a brain storm of how to come up with a unique piece of packaging.

 

I think my time management this week has been good. I didn't overrun on my research and started doing my initial ideas on time. 

Packaging Design Brief Introduction

Today we received a full introduction to our new brief, NCI562 Packaging Design. We have to design a box for a company called Box, under Monogram London. They want us to design something that can fit through a letter box, but can also fit a minimum of 3 of these products: briefs, trunks, v-neck undershirt, crew-neck undershirt or socks. It also has to have www.iwantbox.com on it somewhere. It also has to have a rich brand quality feel for the end user. The only technical restrictions on this brief is that it must be cost efficient and have a sleeve or label or some sort to differentiate the products that are in there. 

Today I also finalized my research that I did whilst off. Throughout the week I am going to start my initial ideas.

Inspiration

This is some of the packaging that I find inspires me, because of quirky/ cute they are.
