Project : Text and image part 2

Exercise : Packaging



For this task I went to the supermarket to do research.  I have found out that there are so many different types of biscuits and the packaging is different according to the age they are aimed at.  A new range of organic biscuits for children was a big challenge.

 

The colours have to be visible but also they have to represent the flavour of the product.  When I think about raisins I see purple.  When I think about ginger it looks like fiery orange to me.  Another part of this task was to choose an animal for each type of biscuit, therefore I decided on a Dalmatian for raisins, as the spots on their fur can look like raisins.  For chocolate chips I chose a chipmunk, mainly because of the name CHIPmunk.  For ginger I chose a cat, because of the colour of ginger cats.

Mock up:
 

I made the packaging for chocolate chip biscuits with a chipmunk as a finished product.  The colours stand out from the other boxes of biscuits available in the shops.  I chose bold brown and bold blue colours for the background of the box.  I painted the chipmunk using acrylic paints.  After that I scanned the image and played a bit with it in Photoshop Elements.  I have also managed to make my first illustration in Illustrator, which I am very pleased with.
