Daisy measured out some pill boxes and made nets:
When constructed they fit two layers of pills in. There are a lot of options for the design but they have to include the logo, and information such as content and ingredients. We considered colour-coding the packaging to represent different flavours - e.g. cyan blue for blueberry, magenta for strawberry, yellow for lemon and black for mint. It would also make sense to have the same design style as the poster//fliers so the product works as a whole.
Putting the logo on the front of the packaging was straightforward but struggled with the rest of the design. I liked Sam's earlier poster designs and Sean also was making use of overlapping circles and having the bold minimalist design. Flavour//colour coordination was a big part of it:
We also had problems choosing the main typeface outside of the logo. We tried Thonburi to pick up on the 'boost' but it didn't really work. In the end I looked back to the vintage-style poster and used Helvetica CY in Bold oblique. We spent a lot of time trying to decide on different designs for the packaging. Everyone had liked the second poster that I had made so I produced a mock-up of packaging in the same style:
I think this needs refining - the writing on the back was just an example and things like ingredients and contents might need to be added.Is the white background is too plain - on the back this is fine but the front might not be eye-catching enough. I am going to print a couple of nets out to construct mock-boxes and as a group re-evaluate tomorrow.
