Other context

In context

I photographed the books where i felt they would fit best and where i thought people were most likely to put them.

Re-shoot images

I did another shoot of my final products so they were more focused on the design on the books. I think these images are much better for my boards.

Crit Feedback

After the Crit people felt the box was a bit too big for the books, bookmarks and posters and they also felt the gradient was not good enough for a limited edition collection. So after speaking to the people in my crit, they felt that the design would look stronger on its own as the box distracts you a bit from what you actually get in the set.

Initial idea for tag

Development


Final Chosen layout


Mock up

Tag mock and measurments

Final chosen label

I chose this as i quiet like the fact that the gradient was going from a light colour to a dark color.

Colour ways and gradients for label for box

Decision about the type on the label

The reflection on the orion logo just evens the type out on this design. I feel the other layouts with the orion logo looked a bit out of place.

Initial ideas for label

Ive taken the colours of the book covers and started to play around with the colours.

Measurements for the label to fit around the box

Size around the box...
A2 strip-59.4 x 7cm
Whole box-72.72 x 7cm
Lid- 21cm

I wanted my strip to not be too wide or too thin around my box, so i decided on having the strip to be 7cm in height as i thought this was perfect.

Mock up i did for going around the box

Test fold

I did a test fold on a print just to see how it was going to fold when it is placed in box. With this folding i did a quick eye test and folded the poster, and it fit in the box perfectly!

Box

I placed the books and bookmarks into the box to see how things were going to fit together. I haven't added the posters yet but i will, i just need to fold them. I placed black shiny material inside the box to give it a more 'special feel' so it didn't just feel like opening anything ordinary. I thought this would have been a good idea for designing something limited edition.









My Plan from here:
>Need to get the folders folded
>Need to somehow place and stick the fabric into the inside of the box so it doesn't look like its just there, however i do like the idea of the audience having to opening the fabric themselves to find what's inside.
>Need to design some kind of label or wrap around to be placed around the box to keep it together, add a title and just to make it that little bit special. I have also thought about designing a little booklet which will be attached onto the label to inform people about what is inside the box and also educate them a little about the author.
