Environmentally friendly?


These days, a lot of packaging isn't thought about, and often a lot of products are over-packaged. I'm gonna try and put the opposite into practice. Minimal packaging is best. :)


The packaging below can be used other than for what it's being used for here. It's almost as though it's being recycled, but for what it carries. <- Am I making sense?

Posters n stuff


I find posters sexual. I think they're straight to the point, as long as the message is clear and communicates well.
It's a possibility for me to produce a poster in response to the 'What is good?' brief. I just thought I'd leave this option nice and open for myself. :)

I saw this and it reminded me of a typeface I made back at college on my old course. It's disgustingly similar...
I'll have to try and dig mine out and whack it up here for comparison purposes.

What's this?

More packaging!?
I've been browsing through a few more companies websites, just to give myself a bit of
inspiration.
I thought these were rather interesting. I really like the packaging, it's different and although it's
not amazing looking, it makes people want to pick it up and have a play to see what it's about.
I'm intrigued by what looks to be a sticker. Perhaps this alone could be classed as packaging?


A perforated peel is a unique way of getting the audience to physically interact with the product.

Invading Morries...


So I thought I'd take a trip to Morrisons, stand around for a while, and take pictures of tea. :) I think most people probably thought I was well special..... I wouldn't have blamed them.
I wanted to try and show how much of a variety of tea there actually is, and how much is sold!

Yes yes... hilarious...

Packaging!


I wanna try to keep my packaging as simple as possible.
I've been looking at examples of packing, just to get an idea of the type of things I can do.
On the 'Part 2' brief, there were a list of websites for us to have a gander on. Sooo, I've been browsing. :)
