P Around

 

I know that I was putting all the packing together but I loved this design and it inspired me so much that I had to create a separate post. This is one of those designs that I wish I thought of myself. 

This product was launched in 2010 and was inspired by the concept that ideas are all around us. The conception of the brand is to create functionality and beauty through the product’s intended use.

“Eraser Packaging is simple and unique packing hides a deeper understanding of each product. The simplicity of design and the usability of the product combine to make an everyday object into a unique and fun product. Erasers have function which is to remove/ erase. The design on the packaging is made by removing material communicating how well the P Around eraser functions.

An issue that was important to address when designing this packaging was the shrinking size of the eraser. Through use the eraser gets smaller and smaller yet the packaging remains the same size. Eventually the packaging is thrown away because its practicality lessens as the difference in the size of the eraser and the packing grows. Sticking with the idea that remove of material, the packaging of the P Around eraser is perforated with lines of small dots making it easy to change the amount of packaging to match the size of the eraser. The goal of the P Around brand is to appeal to teenagers and recent graduates who are striving to promote their individuality by using uniquely made products.”

Some lovely Packaging

There has been a lot of lovely package design posted over the last few week since I have been away so I through I’d post some that inspired me. 

Zoda

This cool packaging for ZODA created by Silky Szeto. I really like the use of the bright type and the contrast black background. “It is a modern and eye caching design that uses typography inspiration. The obscurity of the typographic design attracts maximum attention and it communicates the product’s functional nature and effects.”

Summer’s Eve

TThis packaging has a completely different feel to the last packaging. The brief was to reinvigorate the brand the identification of design opportunities for the brand’s wash, powder, spray and wipes. Created by Little Big Brand.

Copper Gold

Coppergold is a new brand of jewellery created by the copper foundry La FargaGroup. The packaging has the function of a display, so it can be put on the shelves or in the store cupboard and the jewellery can be clearly seen through the transparent methacrylate.

I really like the idea behind this packaging, it is such a simple idea for packaging and a great way of displaying jewelleryin shops.

Love Honey

This is a really cute design using a simple heart motif to reference both the name of the product and also the natural health benefits associated with honey. The colour palette and hand drawn style helps create a simple, natural feel.
