First Quality Street packaging design

After visiting Halifax Bankfield Museum, I was influenced by things ,what I have seen in there, and I tried to create my own packaging design. I took pictures of the sweets, which later applied on my design. Also I used husars, to reflect past tenses. During my visit to museum, I took a lot of pistures of old Quality Street's packaging designs. I tried to create, something, what people used to buy many,many years ago. It was quite difficult, because I used different kinds of software to create my design, but old designs were produced manualy: with paper and hand. Then I presented my design to group critic to get feedback and to find out what could I make better. After group critic I learned that I need to be consistent in my ideas and there are a lot of different ideas going on my tin.

So, after group critic i went to Sainsbury's, Asda's to have a look curent packaging designs. I spent few hours researching into the sweets packaging designs. When I came home, I decided that my packaging need to be looking simple and also unusual to get interest from customers. And I started work on my new Quality Street's design

Visiting Halifax Bankfield museum

Today, I visited Halifax Bankfiled Museum, where I interviewed Jeff Wilkinson, who told me a lot about Quality Street history, design. Showed me a lot of evidence - how Quality Street packaging looked like many years ago. This was amazing, because it is impossible to find such powerful evidence in internet, but Halifax Bankfield Museum has so many packaging examples of past tenses. All my research I included in my presentation, which you can have a look in Contextual Module or click here:

My first Quality Street tin's prototype

Started work on making my own Quality Street tin. To make sure that all measurements will be precise- I decided to draw my own prototype, then cut it and seal it. It took me ages to finish it

Presented my design solutions to the group. They picked up 2 designs out of four. Thinking to use hussar characters for my design.
