Hairy packaging...mock up.

Above are photographs of some mock up packaging I created using some thing clear plastic and a card top. I chose to use this type of packaging because it shows the product and allows for clear communication with a very unfussy style that I have used throughout my project. It is also very easy to create and reproduce and would be financially viable if used for production. Especially considering the price tag I've put on them...

Hairy wall chart...final photos

Here are photographs of a design for a wall chart, that would come in the form of a concertina book that would fold out to contain space for all the stickers. This is printed onto plain paper, but ideally I would print it onto a fairly heavy, satin finished stock so that it gives a good surface for my stickers to go onto . The stickers would probably go onto glossy vinyl, or as they are onto matt vinyl, either works well. There are a few niggles in this concertina book, such as a problem with the order of the haircuts etc, however I think it is good to get an idea of the finished product. A heavy gloss cover would be ideal for this concertina book.

Hairy concertina development.

 Looking at a heavy, and large, italic face in the place of the smaller regular arial. I think this has gone from about 50pt to 100pt. 

Here are screens of my alterations to the front cover of my book for the creation of my concertina wall chart. The inside will be the same as the book, just not paginated so that the pages should fall in order...

Book Binding.

 Here are images of the books we made in the book binding induction, which would come in handy for my collection 100 brief, sticker book mock up. The first type of book binding is a Japanese book stitch. This was fairly simple but could take a bit of getting used to, for example getting the order and direction of stitching correct. The second was a very simple stitch bound book, made from three holes in the spine joined and tied with a needle and thread. The third type of binding above, and the one with the coloured covers was a concertina book. This book has no spine and was created using a technique of glue the edges of alternate pages to create a concertina when opened out. This is a type of book that I'd like to look at for my collection 100 brief, with the possibility of making a wall chart.

Hairy packaging...card top.

Looking at the positioning of lines in the same way as the type layouts on the poster. I think maybe a vertical line is more appropriate for the type layout when the packaging comes in this format.

Looking at different types of the face I've been using, using italics, small caps etc.

Trying to give the information the right hierarchy of information using different weights and point size for the more important information and that which will catch the eye when in a shop.

Looking here at the positioning of the price and trying to find a place for it to fit nicely into the layout but still be easily noticeable, so not having to search for the price.

Moving the price in this instance to the left, having it aligned with the type above I think works quite nicely.

Here are a few screens showing the full pack as it would be, folding it down the middle around the plastic pack would fasten it shut.

A collection of screen grabs showing the development of my packaging which will be in the very simple form of a piece of card, folded in half and stapled round a bag with the stickers in... This means that the product is visible inside the packaging and allows the consumer to see what they are getting. Here I have looked at type variations and also variations in the type of pack, for example different ways of grouping the packs.

e.g. 25 random stickers from film
      10 stickers from music
      TV pack
