Roach Encroach Part 2

Here we are to part 2! The most crucial part of anything that happens in my life: ideas and planning. If there's anything I love, it's making a plan. Just don't ask me how often I stick to it haha 

This ended up being our amusement park ride. 

Obviously since we had to make packaging and branding all the supplies there were quite a few things in the ride. 
  • Foam Craft Dough
  • Binder Clip
  • Push Pins
  • T pins
  • Rubber bands
  • Craft Sticks
  • Embroidery Floss
  • Post it notes

hopefully I didn't miss anything!

so onto the planning! 
I started out with my 50s style Idea and automatically my favorite thing to decide is color. 

Trials

From there I tried different combinations of colors and different ways to incorporate the office element to it. Needless to say my final definitely improved from these. 

Final Logo

Then I made a logo for the kit itself.

Here are some sketches:

And some final illustrations
 
The ones in the circles are on the side of the box


 That's mainly it on this side of the board! Feel free to leave any comments or feed back on these! I'd love to know what everyone thinks!

Roach Encroach Part 1

Hello! It's been a CRAZY week. Not to mention all the news and tweets and status posts going up tonight for a great man. {I'm honestly afraid my apple will be extinct in the next few years and when I go to get a new one the choices will have severely gone down hill}. 

In the craziness of the week I did get my projects from my Branding Project back! I actually got my pillow back too, but that's a post for next time. I was pretty proud of my result (and my grade reflects it). 


The basis of the project was to create an amusement park ride for a bug using only office supplies. Then we had to take all the office supplies we used for the "ride" and make a kit to sell it.

So an overview of what all we had to do: 
  • Create an amusment park ride
  • Create an office supply company from scratch
  • Come up with a concept for that company
  • Brand the Company
  • Create packaging for every supply we used in the ride
  • Create a cohesive kit to be sold from the office supply brand
  • Create packaging for that kit
  • Create an instruction booklet to show how to put the ride together
Sounds easy right? Ha yeahhh about that.... 
Our amusement park ride was for a roach, so I went with a 50s style approach focusing on how roaches are thought to be able to outlast a nuke {50s = Atomic Era, by the way}, meaning they're durable. It relates back to the office supplies because they would be super durable. 

Basically, I got an awesome grade on this, and although the box has been though A LOT of being thrown around it's still in pretty good shape!

The Entire Kit...
It's a ton of stuff
I'll have more pics of my process and Individual looks at all the packaging I had. It's a ton of stuff, too much for one post!
