Net's of packaging and ways of printing

Boots own brand paracetamol-Full colour CMYK. Maybe a little small for box i intend to design.

Anadin - 2 colour spot with 3 tint's of green. Again I think this box might be a little on the small side.

Embossed on the back to produce a raised logo and braille.

Nurofen express - 5 spot colour silver, yellow, green, red and black. This box has the kind of proportion i want to be looking at.

Also featuring embossing (Braille and Logo) which you can see on the back of the packaging.

This brand of Paracetomal Uses a 2 spot colour consisting of 3 tints of blue and black.

Again the packaging has been embossed for braille user's.

Over the counter medicine packaging 2

I noticed the braille on the packaging with i though gave a good tactile feature, I also noticed the embossing of the LOT number and the EXP number. I feel these two thing could be incorporated into my design and also use different finishing methods which explores the brief.

Medical packaging-Over the conter products

Here's some packaging of pain killers that you can buy over the counter, compared to the prescription medication it has more colour's and graphic's on which is aimed to catch the consumers eye. I feel that this gives the impression that the drugs themselves are not to be taken as seriously and cant do as much harm if not used in the right way.

Exsisting Chili Packaging - tesco

This is the packaging from Tesco's , again the same boring food packaging but there is a little bit more information included such as hint's on how to use. It also has the best or easiest to warning.

Exsisting Chili Packaging - Morrisons

Exsisting Chili Packaging - Asda

Again same sort of look as sainsburys with similar information.

Exsiting Chili Packaging-Sainsburys

This is the packaging for Sainsbury's chili's Its quite simplistic and bland, I imagine this is so he information is clear and legible. But i feel it still does not excite the consumer.

More medical packaging

Some more medical packaging i quite like the purple one still seems informative and clinical even though its not white.

There's also another picture with medication being stored. I guess information needs to seen easily and quickly which is again why most is all typographic.

medical packaging

I did some chilling testing in the studio this morning and i found that people think that chili's with a high scoville reading (very hot) should come with a warning of some sort. This has given more reason to look at medical packaging and promote chili as something dangerous/thrill/to be handle with care. I shall look into how many packets of chili's have actual warning on them and if they work or not.

Here's some medical packaging i've been looking at. Straight away you can tell its medical from the use of white for a clinical look, you can also tell there's is a lot of information about the product inside which the consumer needs to know about as it's really the only visual on the package.

I also like the use of foil in medical packaging again it promotes a clinical clean look but at the same time you can tell it serious as it needs to be kept completely sterile.

Different colour scheme Spiritualized

Farrow design.

Medicine packaging for ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space by Spiritualized.

Each blister contained a 3 inch cd featuring one if the twelve track which had to be popped through the foil in order to be played.

All credits were printed onto a medicine information sheet and contained warnings on the possible side effects of listening to the band.

I've started looking around at different packaging i came across this one after i spoke to justin about using my idea of chili being a thrill and pushed as if it should be taken/eaten/used responsibly, a bit like medicine.

I had never heard of Farrow but i really like the way they approach work. They also use a massive array of finishing techniques and stock which at the moment is inspiring.

Artist’s book commissioned by Sadie Coles to commemorate his 2008 show for Pauline Karpidas at the Hydra Workshop in Greece. The artist always signs his paintings with his initials and the year of the work, so we asked him to do the same for the cover. This was then printed on to a soft back, cloth cover using various techniques to achieve a finish that looks like thick wet paint.

Naga Jolokia

Chilli is good because it macho.

Not that macho " are you disappointed ?" " (whimpering) " No" haha

chilli research- testing session.

Paper curls

No strictly print, ( but it will of had to be printed for the purpose of the magazine in full colour) really like the paper curling technique. Similar to the cut out's of pinky which you can see here.

Print research

Thought this was a great example of different printing methods from 1 colour tonal to full CMYK, Also so how a logo needs to be able to work in different methods of print.
