Project Packaging- Challenge 2

A bark, a meow, a chirp and hiss or a click, were some of the noises that inspired this second week challenge.

This week the designers were tasked with finding a solution to a packaging problem while working within specific constraints. The challenge this week was to design "cat, dog, bird or reptile food packaging" while integrating photography and keeping the main package to 4 sides. The final package delivery should include a main food product, and some sort of treat or secondary food product as an extension, bringing the total to 2 packages, (note, the second package did not have to be 4 sided). Class was held at Realm Communications, were students got to experience a real conference room environment, as well as get some very honest and consumer savvy feedback. Guest Judges: Michael Stewart, Eric Berrios, Michelle Carlino, Winnie Widastra

And here are the results...


All presented packages...


AND THE WINNER IS...

MILK BONE
The judges felt that this packaged showcased a great combination of simplicity and reality, all wrapped around a great concept. 



From another angle, is it meat or is a bone?


A view from a above.


The others...

LYRICS, all about the structure.


Another view...


BROWNS, sing a little song your the birdman.



ORGANICS, for the conscious cat.


ZOO MED's, are you looking at me?


EVO, for the well manicured dog/owner.


MORNING SONG, because it's about heritage.


KAYTEE, keeping it fresh.



Feel free to leave us your thoughts, remember educational purposes only.

Wow! What a great idea for the milk bones. I would so buy some for my dog. It goes to show simplicity always wins.

Also, the runner-up is amazing too! It shows a lot of thinking was involved in the overall presence on the shelf as well as the unique structure of the bird/box.

This makes me want to go back and be in this class again! Love it. keep up the good work.
