309AAD: Products and Packaging

I was really struggling to come up with a strong poster design because of this, I decided to move on to branding a different part of the campaign, the packaging. I decided that I wanted to produce different types of membership boxes. This would be beneficial for BeeCause because, it gives the chance for the audience to donate money and also get something in return.

Potential membership packages:

1. Membership Card:
                    Works similar to a nectar card. The purpose of the card is to get people to buy more       organic products. When organic items are purchased points are added to the card, these points can then be deducted from grocery shopping.

2. Bee Saver Kit (Subscription Box):
                    This is a box that would have various items in including: news letter, save the bees guide, poster, one organic product and a bee identity collectable card (different bee each month). This box is sent out 4 times a year at the start of each years new season. There is an option to buy a one off box costing £10 or, a discounted price of purchasing all four at £35. When the boxes are ready to be shipped, they will go straight to their destinations.

3. Honey, I'm Home (One off box)
                    The purpose of this membership box is to help provide food for the bees which helps them repopulate. This box contains four large seed pouches and a guide on how to look after the flowers.  

4. Optional Donations


Here are some package designs I have produced:


This is my first design. I wanted it to have a vintage feel and to look very simple. After receiving feedback I decided to develop it.


This is the developed version of the seed packaging above. I decided to add a bee design that I had illustrated myself. However, once I had done this, I thought it would be a good idea to have different types of bees on the packaging possibly, have bees that are attracted to that particular flower.


Here is the finally design which I thought worked best and received the most positive feedback. Once this had been designed and finalised, it helped me to have a better understanding of how I want to brand the rest of the campaign.


Box Design:

Once The seed packaging was designed, I decided to move on to the box design. The box is what will keep the seed pouches together during transport. Here are the designs I came up with.

This design was produced along side the second development. After producing this, I realised that mailing this through a letterbox would be an issue. This lead me to rethink the shape of the design.

This box is small enough to fit through a letterbox making it better than the original. For this design, I wanted to see if I could make the honey typography design I produced work. Unfortunately, I personal think I wasn't working.

This was my second attempt at making the honey type style work. It still wasn't working, as it looked out of place.

For the final design, I decided to keep it very simple which defiantly worked the best.

D&AD Submission

I decided to submit my work to the D&AD competition. Here I have attached the video presentation and support .jpegs that I sent. I am very excited about this and I am hoping I win a pencil from this  completion, as this will give an advantage over others when applying for jobs. To submit work, I had to write small explanation. Here is what I put: ‘Virgin Venture’ is for the adventurous. The app and website allow people to book holidays based on categories and destinations. The second feature, which differentiates this app is ‘Venture Luck’. This feature is for the risk takers. The interface of this section is inspired by the popular Tinder app, allowing people to skip, save or book pre-planned holidays. The only detail needed from the person is a date.  There are also interactive posters that work identically, allowing someone to tap the screen. Each tap reveals a new destination, they can then use NFC to save the details. ...

Placement research

Over the last few weeks I have been researching job placements. It has been very hard to find 3 month placements, all of them seem to be a year long or I am not qualified for the opportunity. However, I kept on looking even with these minor set backs and I have now found some placements that I can apply for. 12 month placements DISNEY - Creative & Product Development  https://jobs.disneycareers.com/job/london/internships-creative-and-product-development-2018-19/391/5832619 UNIVERSAL - Graphic Design Intern http://jobs.jobvite.com/universalmusicgroup/job/ofZm6fwq Both of these 12 month placements are amazing opportunities but this is not what I am looking for. I want to either have a placement over the given time during semester 2 (March -May)or, have a summer placement. Due to this, I decided to research local design agencies in Coventry. Here are the three I liked the most. These three design agencies would help me develop professionally b...

Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Muesum

Friday 30th September Today I went on a trip to Oxford to visit two museums. These museum's were Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers. Both of these museums had lots to offer but, I did prefer the Pitt Rivers museum beacuse it at things you could interactive with. Ashmolean is the University of Oxford's museum of art, founded in 1683. The collection is very large and has Egyption mummies to contemporary art. The museum displays all sorts of diversity throughout culture across time. During the time I was exploring the museum, I produced some observational drawings as well as taking photographs. My favourite part of the museum was the Egyptions beacuse, it was incredible to get close to these amazing historical pieces. Pitt Rivers displays archaeology and anthropology collections of the University of Oxford. The museum was founded in 1884 by 'Augustus Pitt Rivers'. He agreed to give his collection to the museum on the agreement that a lecture in anthropology was held on a regu...
