Packaging and Point of Sale

My last project was for the National Student Awards competition - namely the brief to design packaging and point of sale for Homebase and their new "Grow Your Own" range.

I adapted a WW2 "Dig For Victory" style theme, and created posters, packaging and ideas on the same theme - eventually deciding on several angles including a ration book style of seed packets and books, colour coded for the seasons, and a classic brown paper package style packaging for the main product, based around a Red Cross parcel. All these can be viewed on my website in the gallery, or by clicking on this link: http://www.rebeccaholder.com/growyourown.html

I know it is very unlikely I will win the award - the competition is amazing, and the previous winners' works are incredible, but I hope they choose to display my work, and print it in some form in their published booklets. Although, winning one of the coveted yellow pencils would be lovely indeed...

Maths Postcards and More!

Tomorrow I hand in my second module at university - I'm very very nervous. I've spent a long time tweaking it, and adding more as I go, but there's always something you feel you can do better, isn't there?
So, tomorrow it's all over.

After that, it's all hands onto my Film Noir project, and expect to see many images in the style in my gallery quite soon.

Today I also updated the site a little, adding my Maths Postcards images, a project for a client through the university to design a postcard "advertising" maths to a young audience to be distributed in school libraries. I did four ideas, which can be found here. If you know of any competitions similar to this one, please leave me a comment - I'm always interested in getting my work "out there".
Also I added a piece exploring drawing to music, and how the styles, colours, methods and materials in an image effects the mood.
