enviro friendly
Packaging can be defined as materials used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery, and presentation of goods. Packaging can be divided into three broad categories:
Primary packaging is the wrapping or containers handled by the consumer.
Secondary packaging is the term used to describe larger cases or boxes that are used to group quantities of primary packaged goods for distribution and for display in shops.
Transit packaging refers to the wooden pallets, board and plastic wrapping and containers that are used to collate the groups into larger loads for transport, which facilitates loading and unloading of goods.
Because of its large volume, packaging waste tends to be very visible. Approximately 70% of primary packaging is used for food and drink which is often discarded in a dirty state and contaminated by residues of the original contents.
The UK produced an estimated 9.3 million tonnes of waste packaging in 2001. Of this 5.1 million tonnes came from households and the remaining 4.2 million tonnes from commercial and industrial sources.

The most common types of material used for packaging are paper, board, plastic, glass, steel and aluminium.

one of my personal favorite make up brands would have to be Benefit Cosmetics, great quality product and beautifully fun, retro-styled graphics. the graphics have been used to great effect by this company, appealing to a broad market in a niche-friendly environment through the use of a mixture of sentimental kitsch retro references and incorporation of new colour and fashion trends. customers are feircly loyal to this brand, partly because of the many 'cult' products the company continually produce season after season, partly because the quality is so high, as is the userbility, and the graphics play a role in this success, with new product lines being eagerly awaited by fans of the products and garnering lots of attention upon going on display in Myer and David Jones stores. here are a few examples of Benefit packaging and graphics...

i really love make up, as a make up artist i'm always looking for good products, but stunning graphics can go a long way toward influencing even a proffessional's choice when purchasing. Bloom are an australian company who produce make up of a professional quality and sell it @ an affordable retail price. its appeal is multilayered, with beatiful graphics, a consistent visual style and very high quality products. Neryl Walker, an australian graphic designer, did the Bloom logo and graphics, here's a pic of her work...

fetish clothing
Malcolm McLaren was known for being the manager for punk band The Sex Pistols.Vivienne Westwood was a fashion designer. Together they opened a shop, Let It Rock (also known as Sex, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die, Seditionaries) where Westwood began to sell her outrageous designs. During this period, Westwood, McLaren, and artist Jamie Reid were influenced by the Situationists. She still owns the shop, which is at 430 King's Road, and sells her Anglomania label from there. The shop is now known as World's End.
The punk style began to gain notoriety when the Sex Pistols wore clothes from Westwood and McLaren's shop at their first gig. The "punk style" included BDSM fashion, bondage gear, safety pins (taking inspiration from Richard Hell, a personality in the early New York punk rock scene), razor blades, bicycle or lavatory chains on clothing and spiked dog collars that were used as jewellery, as well as outrageous make-up and hair. Vivienne Westwood marriage to Malcolm McLaren produced a son named Joseph.

Look at these....yum!
One of the more familiar candies that’s marketed for Valentine’s Day would be the Ferrero Rocher. They’re pretty candies all year round but during the season for lovers they’re placed in clear plastic heart-shaped domes of varying sizes.
Ferrero is an Italian company that makes all sorts of hazelnut confections, some under the Ferrero name and others under the Kinder name. Their best known, perhaps, is Nutella, but they also make the Kinder Eggs, Tronky, Pocket Coffee, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Happy Hippos and Tic Tacs. The Ferrero Rocher wasn’t introduced until 1982 and didn’t make it to the US until 1985 but it has quickly filled a niche in the confectionery market as an upscale chocolate available at drug stores and grocers in more than 100 countries.
But what is a Ferrero Rocher? At its center is a whole hazelnut, surrounded by a chocolate hazelnut paste filling which is inside a light chocolate wafer sphere covered in more chocolate and crushed nuts.
These were nice and fresh and had a wonderful sweet chocolatey aroma mixed with the smell of hazelnuts. They’re a bit big, but can fit in your mouth as one bite, though I usually do it in two (to see if I get the whole hazenut in the first or the second). They’re very nutty which helps to keep them from being too sweet. They’re much better, as far as I’m concerned, than Tronky, Happy Hippos or Kinder Bueno. I think it’s that the hazelnuts are so strongly featured. The packaging is also quite smart and classic. If you see them on sale after Valentine’s, this is an excellent product to pick up.

What do Johnsons Baby and coke have in common?
http://www.superbrands-brands.com/volII/brand_Johnson.htm
The link here was to do with marketing and consumer information for Johnsons Baby Products, the sales pitch to a target market.
If you read it you will find a lot of information about a well established company that goes back to 1885. In a part titled THINGS YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT Johns..........I found this...
When I did my poster I created a better design than I had before, so i changed my whole soap wrapper which will certainly be more appealing to a younger target market...

| In the early years of their business the Johnson brothers kept in regular touch with the originators of a new product called Coca-Cola. In 1894, Johnson & Johnson introduced the first “kola” preparations recommended for the relief of headaches, to regulate the pulse and increase stamina and endurance. |
When I did my poster I created a better design than I had before, so i changed my whole soap wrapper which will certainly be more appealing to a younger target market...
this was too RED
So I tried another approach, this was the white cameo in the background, I created 2 tulips in foreground, overlaid on the cameo
the black and white cameo is coming out of the tulip
I was pleased that it looked as crisp and the colours went well so I continued to make it my package.
My package in correct colours
I finally uploaded this in correct colours. The trouble may have been that the CMYK was not converting well, as I corrected this to RGB.
This is my packaging that, when I finished it I found it to be too bland.
I converted the cameo to a drop and used it for a logo but wanted to have something younger to appeal to my more vibrant clientel
Cameo Blue
This is another version of my design It was the version I liked but still it was not modern enough, it smacked of the smell of Granny's house.
The logo was a development of its own
my first package finished.
This is the first design I developed fully for my soap package.
I chose the pillow shaped package to market my soap. I thought it looked softer and frienlier than a box.
The original design was soft tones of blue and green and lemon, the blog doesnt show it to be that colour so i am not publishing it. When my first design was too dull i changed it to this, it is not blue but in fact is red, however the blog is showing this glaringly bright blue

Soaps from all over the world
Above is a compilation of Nivea soap boxes from other parts of the world. If you access the link here you will find the differences of products between countries. There seems to be more marketing toward liquids than bars. The link is interesting, and well laid out
I began my soap package with a box from Nivea as shown cut out above. I liked the wave feel of it that made it look friendly, the dark professional clean colours appealed to me too.
The graphics of the drops made it look creative.
It was from this that I began my design
