OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 07 | Student Starpack Awards 2018 - The Future Milk Bottle

Introduction
Over the years the common plastic milk bottle as become bland and unexciting. Some consumers may still remember the nostalgic sound the traditional glass milk bottle that was delivered by white-coated milkmen and women, driving milk floats and delivering to your doorstep. 

Now the milk containers all look the same both style and shape, fit for purpose but with no distinguishing features or character. 

The Brief

The challenge for this brief is to design a next generation of milk bottle packaging in the form of a 2-pint fresh milk bottle made from plastic. The solution still needs to be practical, easy to use and be handled by everyone including the elderly and children. 

It is important that your design includes primary function of being easy and stable to pour the contents, without mess or spillages, and for the opening to be resealable to maintain fridge lifer and freshness. Your solution should not only have 'stand out appeal' in stores but also look good on the breakfast table. With more consumers shopping online for their groceries, transportation of fresh milk products from manufacturer is also to be addressed in ensuring that your design solution can withstand the rigours of filling, packaging and delivery to both retail outlets and the consumer at home. 

The visual presentation and styling of this new plastic milk bottle needs to reflect a quality product to the consumer, one that is convenient, easy to use and looks good in both store display and in the home. 

Points to consider
  • Visual appeal and shelf impact
  • Easy handling by a variety if age groups
  • Functionality 
  • Effective dispensing and resealing 
  • Safe and secure delivery to the consumer purchasing on line, and to stores from manufacturer
  • Filling, storage and display 
Materials to be used
For your mock ups use an appropriate material to represent plastic.

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this  brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context.  Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung  Leah Chen  Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.)
