Looking for inspiration

I have started to look at anything that gives me some sort of spark to kick start this project again. I have a design style that I like, but I feel I am limiting myself a little. I need to experiment within the decisions I have made, and the stuff I have looked at here will hopefully feed straight into my development.


First of all we have some nice chocolate coffee packaging from freelancer Natalia Bungert. The design approach is something I could emulate and is also similar to the kind of thing I have been doing on this brief. She uses the space of the more effectively than me however, and uses a tailored stock. The whole packaging range works well as a set and is distributed in this handy carrier.





















I also found this example that I believe I used last year. It is an eco-minded project and uses bio-degradable materials. Now that doesn't really make a difference to what I want to do, as my concern is not saving the planet, but I choose this once again for its structured, yet simplistic approach to packaging graphics.










This is a small bag used for seeds. I like the idea of testing with different material instead of just paper, however, this would obviously appeal more to women than men. It would put a spin on my product though. This was designed by Visualingual.














More structured packaging using colours to differentiate between product lines. I could apply this tactic to my product range of different quantities and experiment with colour. This seems like an effective approach too. It has a structured, hierarchical feel to it and suits the choice of typeface too. This was design by A-B-D.













A combination of illustration and type with an injection of colour makes this packaging stand out and has purpose behind it. Cleverly designed to leave space for the user to colour in the packaging, and child like illustration means that it speaks to the kid on their level. The design approach needs to be catered for the target audience, otherwise whats the point? This was designed by Alice Chair
