Essay Practical: Box Design

 Using images I have found online I have been able to create the basic shapes of animals such as sheeps which will be used on my box design.





The simple illustrations will fit with the boxes colour scheme and hand rendered design style.


This is how the box currently stands with each side touching. I wanted the image to continue around the whole box so decided it was best to design each box seperatley but in a line so that I could use the same grid and make sure each section moved smoothly onto the next box side.

I have taken inspiration from Dartmoor, Devon to provide the scenery for the box. This again links it back to its routes of Devon and gives the customer a visual image of where the product is sources.


I am still not sure about how or where to place 'country' or what else needs to go on the front. 



The side again is still plain. I plan to illustrate more sheep to add in.


The back text is quite heavy. I will do this last on Indesign anyway but need to find an appropriate way to layout the body copy. 


The last side is the still blank. I may rewrite the text and spread it over the two sides. 

I have hit a bit of a wall with this design so will take a break from it whilst I try and create a mock up of the box. By creating a mock up I can be sure what size I will need and how the jar will sit in it. I can also use this opportunity to explore paper stock as well.
