This week we started off by trying different concepts for the labelling to see how it looks in different styles. Starting with rough sketches to come up with ideas before making it digital, we looked at using the colours from the logo with a range of different illustrations to balance out the design, as well as seeing how the border looked in different ways. From printing a few copies of the label I then tried different ways the foiling could work. I like how the silver foil brings emphasis to certain parts of the design to help make them stand out. I experimented by getting two colours of cotton drawstring bags printed to see what effect they gave to the packaging as a whole. I feel the white bag works best as there are too many shades of grey on the other bag. The belly band works well with the bag design however, from the feedback I will experiment to see if a different format would work better. Although we were met with the news that both Flux and Knightingale Crafts were unable to manufacture the Ootcuts due to practicality of manufacture, it was still great to receive feedback from them and hear that they really liked the concept at hand. We also managed to finalise the sets of Ootcuts, trying them out in bigger builds to gain deeper layers and even more personality!
We collaborated on finding different tasks for the daydream believers slideshow and trying to find a tone through graphics and wording that would fit the daydream believer style. These tasks are still being developed, whilst trying to find overlaps between them for an easy flow, and hoping that we may get a chat with some teachers as well to see their take on the tasks and the challenge!
Some Further Details! Keep on Dreaming!
