Spice Re-Work

I wanted to achieve more of a correlation between the app, table and packaging. The packaging in particular seemed like a separate project to the periodic table and app. I applied a similar design to the app and the re-working on the table to create the new packaging designs. I also used some of the patterns in illustrator to code each 'taste' of spice. I dragged the files out of the swatches pallet allowing me to edit them and make them more personal to my work.

My initial tests were done using the cross hair grid to fit together the two deliverable's, randomized with the names in different places with a brief description of either the origin of the spice or what it can be cooked with. After cutting out a range of these I felt the randomness didn't work and considering how they would be displayed meant that they wouldn't work as individual products.

I also added some more content to the back of the designs to make the most of the format and space that the net provided me with. Each design now has a short story about the spice, whether it be the origins of its name, each reflects the traditions of the spice - which was reflected through the design and layout to work alongside the modernized packaging on the front.

The exact re-working / wording of this is something I will do when I print out the designs without the randomised text on the front.

A recipe is also included on the back for each spice meaning people have at least some guideline of how to use the spice - these will be continued on the back of the periodic table poster / hot dog fold book. This was interesting to work with as I had to condense each recipe to fit onto a small area taking out many of the words but maintaining a logical description of the cooking.

Also because of the format the recipies can be stood up when cooking to make following / reading them easier! Realised this when Yaf was talking about my work with!
