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.

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical  small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second  development work was successful as the colours of the type has  been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the  pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one  on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper  stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the  visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is  appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context.  Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge  and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme,  as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

Sticker development design For the sticker/title design for the publication the polaroid shape was taken as inspiration. The idea for the polaroid designs were that the audience and participants can sign their signature on the stickers to make the publication more personal. Below are some design examples:  Feedback Majority of the feedback from peers and tutors all preferred the design of brand, title and sticker designs were they bottom right design with and without the outline.
