Student work: AS Graphics packaging

see all the work on FLICKR

Well we're a little behind on this post but as it's coming up to the end of the year we're remembering all those odds and ends, like photographing our AS Graphics wonderful packaging outcomes! The designs were created as part of a retail graphics project, which involved designing a logo, packaging and swing tag for a retail outlet of their own choice. You can see all the designs on FLICKR

Inspiration: Doggy Packaging

Look at this fabulous packaging for Dog Shampoos Designed by Martha Robertson and Alfonso Sotelo found via The Dieline. 

"During a workshop of the master of packaging at ELISAVA (Barcelona), we have to design the graphic for a standard line of dog hair care. We start thinking how people wash their dogs, were they wash them, who wash them, when they wash them, etc.  We assume that washing the dog is always an adventure. When you try to wash them they run away, or they splash you, or when you finish washing them they run to the mud, or they bite you. So we want to make it easier and funny. In the pack we want to transmit quality, simplicity, fun, and ludic.  We emphasize the context of game and wonder putting a dog interacting or playing with the logo." - Martha Robertson and Alfonso Sotelo

Inspiration: Pearlfisher

 

Pearlfisher are an independent design company who create fantastic logo and packaging design for companies. They also pride themselves in only working with ethical companies, you can read about their approach to design in full here. I particularly like the packaging and logos they've made for Innocent, Jamie Oliver and Wildwood.
