OUGD603 - New Choice - Adding Textures

As I started to play around with some simple mockups for the packaging, I wanted to explore different textures and images I could use for the sides of the box.


Wood;




I love this wooden texture and feel it works really nicely alongside the front and back panels. The whole idea of the design style was to be natural and have a 'back to nature' sort of vibe and I feel the wood works well to represent this. It also alludes to the idea that the packaging is made from a natural material, which adds to this earthy sense.


Foliage;




I decided to play around with some foliage/leaf patterns for the same reason as using the wood - it created a lovely natural, earthy vibe that worked well with the packaging design. I felt that the foliage sides of the net added a real modern and contemporary feel to the packaging - and really stood out amongst other designs on the market.
