OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 08 | Packaging Development - Photography | Student Starpack Awards 2018 - Luxury Family Range of Cans for Tea or Coffees

Luxury Tea tin Photography
To capture the Tea tin product packaging design in a realistic environment, I contacted a second year photography student, Thomas Griffiths from Leeds Art University to help and organised for him to take some photography work for my brief. We went around the city centre Leeds and specifically Victoria Gates to showcase the Tea tins in a cafe environment. Ideally I wanted to use John Lewis's retail shelves especially the shelves for their luxury tea brands to demonstrate what it will look like when consumers come and purchase the item. However, due to the stores restrictions and law we were not allowed to take photographs in the store without permission. 

Below are the photographs of the packaged an unpackaged tea tins captured in many different angles. Tea leafs were also placed inside the tin packaging to demonstrate how it would be taken out and how it will be placed. 


 

 

 






















Poster design Development
Beneath are some poster design develops for the tea tin packaging designs. A combination of typefaces (sans serif and serif) were additionally added to the poster to make the poster look sophisticated and luxurious product. A slogan was also experimented in the poster, for example: 'Exceptional Aroma, Exceptional Tea'. Despite the added slogan it made the poster look uneven and unappealing it also draws away from the main product.

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis.  The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'.  'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'.  Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'.  Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'.  'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'.  'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...

Studio Brief 01 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts   The shop that I wanted to r...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page.  The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical).  To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally.  The siz...
