Packaging Development


This is an idea I have had for the dist as we cannot stick anything to the DVD-R I thought I'd make a stencil of my film titles and sharpy it onto the disc, this has worked quite well, although it is not the neatest thing in the world I still think it works as a concept. Although I have since discovered that videos written onto it do not work, but I will still submit if only for a mock up of what such a disc might look like.  

This is the stecil previously mensioned, I lightly spray mounted it onto the disc before going to town with a sharpy pen. 

My first packaging idea was to buy an old film reel tin and place my CD inside, I bought a tin but unfortunatly it was too small, therfore with time against me I decided that I should attempt to make card replica, this is my first mock up attempt, shocking I know, it was meant to look a little rough and redy but this just looks like a poorly constructed card cilinder, which it is. 


Attempt number two although with at least one roll less of masking tape and non of it crudly coloured in it still did not have the desired effect of an of cinema reel tin, this was not acceptable so I had to change tack completly and make something simple and effective as a piece of design that encorperated the imagery of my work but also represented in some way film.


Alas attempt number three finished at 7:45 the evening before hand in, but it is much better than the feable attempts that where it predecessors. Using the text from the main videos, and still managingto get a bit of masking tape into the finished design i have tried to create something that works praticaly for the purposes of the hand in but also comunicates somthing of my original idea.
