Cake Packaging

These are some of the most beauitifuly packaged cakes that i have come across in the past few weeks.

This first one was made by the baker herself to package her walnut cake. The box is really eye catching because of the strong yellow and contrasting blue which really works in giving it a vintage feel. Also the stripes give it a very sweet shop feel to me and makes the product seem more luxurious.




I unfortunantly dont know the designer of these cake boxes but again i think the stripes that have been used do give a very old fashioned sweet shop feel to it. I also think that these work in the size range shown.



These are designed my 'mind design' they have used hand drawn illustrations and the a digital label on top. These I feel are related to my own practice as i am looking into a more hand rendered design, and this has shown me that using minimal colour and a white stock can work really well.



These cupcake boxes by Sprinkles are simplicity at its finest. a simple logo on the outside of the box and a really effective colour on the inside of the box that sets the product of nicely. 



These cake packaging designs were for weddings rather than retail and are for individual slices rather than full cakes. but the principle is the same, i am really inspired by the use of different colours and patterns used in some of these that make them work nicely as a set and give a really fun element to the design.

LOV-E


these designs by LoV-E are gorgeous, i was instantly drawn in to this first image because of the typography. I think its a beautiful typeface and im wanting to produce something like this in my own work.











Great to see these designs working into a digital distribution, showing me that the design of something like this doesn't have to be compromised.

This poster has got a great hand drawn approach to it, even if it is a bit illegible the illustration and colour considered works well together.






Each character has been considered and works beautifully as a alphabet as well as an individual character.

Own Brands

These are some images i have come across for supermarket own brands. I want to design for the Morrions Value range as its a popular range with shoppers but i believe the packaging puts some people off as the bring yellow is very noticeable and dose portray a very value range. I think a value range can look a bit more creative than these.

Hyperact

North Star Fund, This leaflet design was made for the North star fun and the reason i really like it is because of the cut, it folds together but still revealing each page because of the diagonal cut.



This promotional leaflet designed for the white house, is beautifully folded. I love how the format starts as a square and opens into a long rectangle, also the triangle design of the folding is kept throughout the design of the leaflet.
