Packaging

 

During this project we were asked to think of two adventures one that we have previously gone on and one that was new to us that would bring on the feelings of either wonder, delight, joy, or solitude.  I chose to represent a bike riding trip to walnut creek Metropolitan Park which is one that I’ve been on before as well as the Radha Mahav Dham Peacock sanctuary in south Austin which I had not been to. The first being an adventure of solitude and the second being an adventure of wonder. I loved the way we did this project because it allowed us to go out doors and see parts of Austin we loved seeing previously or wanted to see. Beyond the locations themselves we were asked to create a sort of souvenir for the other kids in the class that shows our adventure to go on. We were asked to choose between stickers pins and badges. I chose pins because I’ve always thought they were super cute and it would’ve been a good way to represent the adventures I wanted the class to go on. I wanted to make the design of the pens something abstractly representative of the adventure they were going on because I wanted it to be a pin that they would want to use and not just have an obvious object regarding the adventure on it. I love the way that these turned out because their pins that I would personally put on my backpack and love to have. This part of the project was mainly the packaging and souvenirs themselves that you created. I wanted to keep it light and I represented that in the way I designed my work. For the Rhada Mahav Dham Peacock Adventure I used a lot of color. While the Metropolitan Bike Trail I used more earthy colors because that adventure was more to become connected with yourself and nature.
