muji light box, print ?

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.

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.

Here are a few advertisements that use mugshots/faces:

Using such intense photography is a very direct way to attack a subject & express an emotion. 

I don't know yet how I can use it to match the brief. I need to be able to print and package something. PROMOTE/PERSUADE/INFORM/ENTERTAIN

USE OF SHOWING FEELINGS THROUGH FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.

How could this be purposeful? How could I use this? 

Range of soft drinks? Smoothies? Milkshakes? The style of this design strikes me as being quite playful, fresh... minty...

I could use rough photography, disposable camera? Creating that authentic look, scanning them in.

interested/concerned/happy

A product could be advertised through a specific emotion/expression? Light hearted approach?
How could I name it? Label it?

Could the 'outrageous' and 'sensational' words be explored through facial expressions? A different product though... but some sort of drink.


PROMOTION?
http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson.php

National Portrait Gallery, I could promote my own exhibition relating to mugshots?

"It’s an invisible clown – it’s a spinning top. It’s a red blood cell. It’s my nose when I catch a cold. It’s Santa Claus’s tummy. It’s a pin prick. It’s my sister’s face after I caught her kissing a boy. It’s a slice of tomato. Red clothes in a washing machine. It’s a stop button. It’s a ladybug after a bath. It’s Mommy’s lipstick. It’s a hamburger with lots and lots of ketchup on it. It’s what my elder brother has on his face. It’s a redoussaurus egg. It’s Red Riding Hood seen from above. It’s Rudolph the Reindeer in the snow. It’s a bull’s eye."

I can't decide WHAT TO DO.

a face as a logo

I could explore the idea of using a mugshot/series of mugshots to create a logo for the design for a product?

When I was browsing through my blog, these were the images that made me think about this...

When I saw this I thought of perhaps using a mugshot as a logo for a product. This ketchup has done this. Although it is an illustration (it is still a mugshot), technically. I have decided to keep the idea of a mugshot very broad, I classify this drawing as a mugshot. There is an idea there, that I design a logo/packaging for a specific product.

I really like this film poster, it's kind of expressing what the man is thinking? "I'm still here", the rubbed out effect adds to the message itself, I think the design is clever. I'm stuck now on how to learn from this and recreate something that has been influenced by this but that is also relevant.

 

This range reminded me of all the different types of print/products I could produce. As long as it works, all I really need is a logo and a design. Figuring out the right range of products that could relate to the style of my logo is tricky...

 

COASTERS. Shape and format of 'mugshots' fit nicely for this print. Here is an idea for what I could print onto. 

-----------------------

PROMOTION? INFORMATION?

Leeds college of Art, promotion for courses? info?

On the homepage of the LCA website, there is a slideshow that previews either the person's work or themseleves. It could be seen as a way of using there faces/mugshots to back up what they are saying about their course/the college. 

I  could maybe produce LCA merchandise to promote their courses/BA (hons) Graphic Design/the college itself?

Print - posters/coasters/packaging for sandwiches/sleeves for hot drinks/booklets?

USING A MUGSHOT"

mugshots for...

Mugshots being used for the 'LIFE' magazine. I especially like the top one.
So there's an idea there, mugshots can be used as front covers for magazines?
I like how the cover it so simple, but because there is so much to read from a mug shot, that one image, actually tells a lot.

Originally, these were the mugshots I had looked at, and had been interested in at first. Most of the time now, mugshots taken for jail purposes (documentation of someone who has just been arrested), it is normally just there face and shoulders. I prefer these type of mugshots, the typical ones that aren't used as much. The card with  information on it, and the height lines behind it just make the mugshots so much better, and sort of unique for their particular purpose.

  

Here are some mugshots for todays criminals. You can actually buy a newspaper in Utah with the mugshots of this weeks criminals in it. It is another printing method and product that relates to mugshots, although the design of this magazine/newspaper is awful. And I think some of these mugshots lack character, then again, it could be them poorly set out in context.

I definitely prefer the style of the older mugshots, also, black and white seems to have a better effect on the photograph and message behind it.

I can't see much use in this magazine though? I can
imagine myself scribbling all over peoples faces,
but other than that I don't think I would pay $1. I
think that maybe this product could have potential,
the idea of having a booklet of mugshots can easily
be explored, there is lots to do with it, it's just making
it good.

This isn't the most direct approach to mugshots/yearbooks but it's something I thought about when I questioned mugshots. An illustrative piece of design for the 'Gorrilaz' album cover. Also it's at a side angle. I think this album cover is pretty nice, and the mugshots are a part of the design. So it is a possible path to take, illustration/album covers/side shots?

Driving licences, passports and other identification purposes also use mugshots. A handy process of print that I could maybe use.








A website called 'yearbook yourself', where you can upload a photo of your face and have it merged onto a preloaded yearbook photo. The photos are older/black and white/vintage yearbook photos, I could use packaging&inform/promote to help advertise this particular website? Or other websites that relate.

In the United States during the mid-1980s, there was a practice of putting the faces of children who had gone missing (and were presumably kidnapped or abducted) on a milk carton, in an attempt to get neighbours of the person who had abducted the child to notice and report him or her.
