Project 3 research

For my final project i am going to do a collection of illustrations for display. The theme is everyday life and everyday objects and will all be similar in style, colour, pattern to keep a collective look to all the illustrations. I want to have the collection framed and in a variety of shapes and sizes to create a interesting looking wall show like the examples i researched here. I think the collection will be useful for upcoming shows and exhibitions and i would include a good photo of the display in my portfolio as well as some of the illustrations themselves. I have thought about using the collection in small independent exhibitions and shops and in places like cafes that sell art. I would sell them as framed originals and also do a series of limited edition prints to sell with my other products.

Packaging designs

These are the final designs for the packaging, I'm going to print them on good quality card and make them up into boxes, and for the bottle print off a label and wrap it around a bottle.

packaging development, colour research

I have decided to produce my packaging in a variety of pastel colours as they are very in fashion right now - pastel pink, mint green and lilac. If i was going to make the products themselves they would be the same colours as the packaging, eg, lilac lipstick and eyeliner.

Some research into the current pastel fashion:
