Wallpaper - Creative Business - Final Piece

Once we had found something we really liked we played around with it for a while made it as nice as we could and tweaked it in places to get things right, we stuck with the black and white simple but unnusual look, eye catching and a bit odd.

So here is our final pattern.

Wallpaper - Creative Business

The brief is to design a new wallpaper based pattern targeted at small nice retailers who only want small quantities of paper, example. Florists, small gift shops, fashion, jewellery boutiques, etc.

The idea is to design something based on-trend, with an 'off the shelf' theme.

The material 25gms paper on a roll - approximately 60cm width and it has to be a repeatable pattern.

Water based inks, however, not gold or silver due to cost. Two colour limit.

So, Me and Frankie agreed this brief seems pretty interesting lets see what we can come up with. Our first step was to look at existing wall papers, to see what other people where coming up with in the industry, a quick and easy approach to find inspiration.

We Looked at patterns people had created and also

wallpapers and anything pattern based, Coffee Mugs, Buildings, Clothes, Wrapping paper, Animals, etc. We looked at famous pattern designers such as

William Morris and M.C.Escher. We looked at websites with wallpaper/patterns.

Now we had a good understanding of the kind of thing we had to produce it was time for

us to open up Photoshop and start cracking out ideas, we came up with about 4-5 pretty naff ones but then after some experimentation were able to develop something we both really liked.

Cereal Ideas

Cereal Boxes - Creative Business

After the task of making the christmas favours, our new brief was to design a cereal box aimed at children and teenagers to try and get them to eat healthier, so we want to be looking at bright eye catching designs and also make the cereal tasty enough for the children to eat it, furthermore, actually have the children want to eat breakfast, a lot of kids-teenagers don't eat breakfast in the mornings and as we all know 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.' so teamed up again with Frankie (my partner in crime) and joined by new member Robbie Malloy, we set off doing research into what kids want and why they want it, we came up with the idea that most youth's like music so how about we incorporate music into our designs, something a bit different not yet seen in the stores, we came up with the idea of having the box shaped like a stereo or like a musical instrument, and inside comes a free CD, there was a few concepts and idea about having the actual box itself have a built in mp3 player so the customer can listen to music while sat eating the breakfast, perhaps something up beat and in the charts, therefore it'll wake the youth up a bit, and keep them up to date with new music, it also means a band can promote itself making money for the cereal company.
