Studio Brief 2 - Object Publication - Initial designs on the box

Placing the initial designs on the box net

When the initial dandelion design was expanded so that it spread across the whole net of the box it became very sparse on some sides and busy on others which wasn’t very consistent. Also, because of this it may make the packaging look quite bland, this combined with the thin stroke may mean that the design may be lost on the box. When the stroke was increased, this looked odd because of the intense contrast but minimal design in some areas and in others a lot of block white. Spreading the design so it wrapped around a side could be quite effective however it would need another element on the front of the packaging to balance the elements. The more detailed version of the design when expanded was too intricate for the stroke width to be any thicker which meant the design was quite faint.

Using the design created from the blown elements, the shapes were then coloured to match the colour swatch previously used. This design was more evenly distributed but still organic enough not to look positioned or like a pattern. Using multiple versions of the design across the box created a random looking layout even though it was using several of the same elements.  Initially the line thickness was very fine which meant that the design was very delicate and intricate however the colours weren’t very defined. The design was expanded so that only one version was spread over the net. This created more space between the shapes however the elements were much larger making them stand out and there were still perhaps too many overlapping pieces.
