I have a focus group lined up in a few weeks which is where I am hoping to get a better idea on what to design, however before then I want to experiment with making a few boxes so that I begin thinking about a potential outcome and have something to show the focus group.
1. This is the first box I have made. The sides curve in to the box which is a nice feature, suggesting a feminine figure. The top part of the box closes into a floral pattern, whilst this looks pretty I feel it is impractical as it would easily tare and it is hard to get back into the shape. The target market won't want to faf around trying to close it properly.
2. This box is square with each top side dipping in to form a swirled lock lid. The lid pushes down into the box and securely fastens it, making it perfect for keeping things inside safe and contained. However it would only work if the box was a square and this isn't appropriate for the bar of soap.
3. This design was one I got from a book of templates, I couldn't really make out how it would look from the picture so decided to make it and see. I like how the curves are elegant and feminine however the box itself would be impossible to fit soap in. The larger bottom and smaller top half makes it difficult to fit a bar of soap in the packaging.
4. Whilst the last box didn't work practically, I really like the silhouette shape it created when viewed from the front. Taking this feature, I decided to design my own box which would be more practical to fit a bar of soap in. This package creates an eight sided box with the front and back tiles mimicking the curved silhouette. I really like this package design as it works both in shape and in practicality; I can fit a bar of soap in there and also fit a design onto the front.
