Research into Ideas and Concepts

Here I will be looking into different concepts and ideas.

I first began by looking at the physical carton to see what made up the aesthetics of the design.

To make my idea stand out I wanted to use elements that weren't necessarily obvious to everyone, this is so the advertising is subtle, and then you will notice all of the elements when the final carton is revealed at the end.

The type of concept and idea I want to create will have a sense of luxury, whilst using the elements on the carton.

As I was thinking about how I was going to create my idea and concept, Andrew suggested I looked at a few things for inspiration.

First was Jessica Hische, mainly because of the way she creates are work.

Each of these are embossed and look 3 dimensional.

Using these will give me inspiration to create something that has the same elegance and sophistcation as do what her creations have. I love the styling thate Jessica has done especially in the ribbon one, she has really caught the essence of being light and flowy, like what a ribbon would be in the wind.

The 'Type' one is more like what I want to do, a vine effect, except the vine would create something other then text, however, I could really learn something from studying her work because she understands the way certain objects would move or grow, and to create what I want I would have to see how certain things would grow to make it lok affective.

I was also suggested to look at William Morris, especially his wallpaper designs.

These designs are very bold and complicated, which is something I am trying to avoid however, the reason for me looking at them is so I can get an idea into how wallpaper flows, especially when flowers or vines are involved.


I do like this green leaf design, because all of the leaves and vines inter-twine and overlap, which is something that naturally vines and tress would do. I also like the plain white background, because that means the viewers attention stays on the detail of the wallpaper instead of anything in the background.









I was lastly suggested to look at Anaglypta Wallpaper, mainly so that I can make my idea look better and real.













I was looking at the look and feel of the wallpaper, so that when I decide to create something I have got a reference to work from, especially these 2, because t also demonstrate how wallpaper inter-twines and flows throughout the design.

Therefore, to create something with the same elegance and grace of all of these pieces, I will have to look back onto the carton to see what I can do it with, to make sure that it will work before I begin on any animation. I have also got to make sure that the client likes my concept and ideas before starting anything as well.
