letterforms as imagery


using letter forms to form letters

I like how it seems the words are leaking out, lots of little letters filling the page towards the top of the page, nice layout 

I like how this is set out as a story, another example of nice layout.  


Not sure what the bottom half of the picture is about, but 'Helvetica' typeface is pretty sweet. Cleverly balanced

Beautiful imagery and type combined with a nice layout and structure

I like how it looks hand rendered, little wonky

attention to detail, delicate

I really like beautiful perfume ads,













I like how these are short films, as well as advertisements

moving imagery,








The beginning of this relates a lot to using type as image, having the words shaped as the objects they are.

SPEAK.

These were a little inspirational...

Logo inspiration? I think I want my logo to be circular..

I like these because of the bold type on image. It also relates to my work slightly, the way they have included a little image of the product in the bottom right hand corner, is what I had in mind to do as well.

the fruit could be in their mouth?


An idea to try, the fruit could be in their mouths? The fruit that is the flavour of the drink. Would have to somehow also include a facial expression in the photo as well to relate it to the brief.

INTERACT



Something like this not only stands out and definitely attracts an audience, it also enables some interaction between the product and the general public walking past it, or waiting at the bus stop. It's a clever way to express the strength of their security glass, and also the challenge that is introduced (to get the money) helps imprint a memory of the product into people passing by. 
Another example of a similar design;


I think this is an effective way to communicate, this also relates to print&packaging.

Print? As part of a installation to promote the range of juices,I could print onto these somehow and have the juiced on them? It could work...

fruit drinks that can be packaged?


Organic Fruit Powders

Also supplied from Marni in Serbia, Plant-ex offers the following Organic Fruit powders which are carefully selected, dried and milled and available in a variety of pack sizes.
  • Blueberry
  • Raspberry
  • Blackberry
It takes approximately 10kg of fruit to create 1kg of powder, which allows manufacturers to claim a real fruit inclusion in their products, and several perceived health benefits from the inclusion of real Blueberry, this in addition to the great flavours they impart.

face & communication




Seeing as I think I will be using faces to help express my product, I should really look into facial expressions. Although at the moment, nothing is set in stone. Just incase.

 These are so pretty. I'm pretty sure they have been 'net printed', unless they were printed onto a clear sticker and then stuck onto the glass bottle. The delicate text and design overall, just makes the milk look so much cleaner and more fresh. Minimal colours used as well adds to the effect. 
A lovely example of a simple logo being used. This packaging is so simple, just a sleeve around the cup and yet as a range they all work so well. The patterns on the cups as well is a nice touch, I reckon they could be used to show the variety. A different pattern for a different flavour. 

Really like this style packaging for drinks, I think cardboard/durable card is such an authentic way to package liquids. Especially milk/juices/smoothies as it enhances their organic ness. I also like the colours and the rough effect they have because of the stock they have been printed onto. 

When grouped together, these wine bottles look good. I can't imagine how the wine would taste though, I feel the design doesn't really compliment the drink itself. It kind of suggests dairy? Or more diluted, maybe a mixer&sprit if it had to be alcoholic, or a squash drink? But as a design I like them, they are unique, and I like the use of only two colours. 


Not quite sure what the charcoal is for next to a cup? Although, I like the idea. Environmentally NOT friendly however, individual packaging for a single tea bag would be a huge waste of resources. Putting that aside, it's a clever/unique idea. 
 I saw this as a way to see the different ways to package a product. Even a single cookie can be packaged with the design&logo. Plus, I like print on brown paper. 
Example of embossing&spot varnish, but mainly, mugshots on a product. Just something I can work from, or influenced a tiny bit. The image as a whole overall I'm not so keen on, but, the idea is there.  

Variety of products to print onto, methods of distribution. The design of the pieces isn't anything special, I feel is works and is alright, but it's the range that I found interested. Tags/postcards/cards/stickers, loads.

I have really become a fan of the use of only one colour. It connotes the product in a fresh/clean way. The simplicity, the way the colours follow through the label to the cap and the bottle shape, is what I like. 


Again, white with little colour, seems to be quite popular at the moment. I like to see packaging of products like milk/juice as being little pieces of art. I like the type appearing as grass, also how its nice and faded, not too harsh.  

Works amazingly with a glass so you can see the bird. So pretty. I just liked this.  

I'm not actually sure what these are, but I really like the packaging for them. The white box with a simple  two lined set out is perfect for the multi coloured objects inside. It balances out the whole product, having a pale/calm colour works well with intense colours to balance it out as a delicate product.

etc...

I'm thinking I could create a selection of flavoured juices/ice cream/smoothies etc... and use people's faces to help express the product. In a way, I guess I will use their faces as a sort of logo/illustration for the design of the product. I could find different ways to print and package the range.
