Week 6 Analysis

I chose Dolce and Gabbana's Gold Razor packaging because of its extremely sophisticated packaging. Not that I would expect anything less from the high-end designers; however, it is still so successful for the demographic they are targeting. Because the people who are buying these phones are buying it for the name and the status that comes with it. The packaging lends itself to that with its James Bond type of casing, brilliant black and gold coloring that incases a sleek shimmering gold phone. The consumer buys the phone for the name and when they recieve this packaging it is only going to reconfirm that feeling of high-end retail and status, to them money well spent.

Week 5 Analysis

Within the past year the cosmetics company ALMAY redesigned their packaging and store displays. They made use of the first letter of ALMAY, A, in lower case, serif form. They did something unique by using the lower case serif when the actual logo is a sans serif logo type. However, the typeface they picked is femine, but not overly ornate and flows nicely through its thicks and thins. I think the redesign was successful because of their use of this one letter. It became a strong recognizable graphic for ALMAY. They took something relatively simple to the consumer and made into a strong, eye-pleasing graphic...congrats.

Foot Lotion Anyone!!

I have so many bottles of lotion that are about the same shape but with varies size. This particular lotion bottle is UNIQUE. Its as you can tell is foot lotion. What is the only ways to portray foot lotion besides putting a different font on a lotion bottle that says foot lotion? The designer that came up with that idea by imitating a foot as the lotion bottle is clever. The colors of the label is so calming to the point where when you put the lotion on your feet that it will be release to a new feel.

Contrast_designlayout

This layout stuck out to me, I was searching, and i said to myself, this is something that i could see as a good clean layout. I labeled it contrast. It shows a balance.

Vibe_designlayout

i liked this layout. I enjoyed looking at the cover, and besides I am into this type of stuff, with layout, clean simple and to the point. This image works well because not only is the magazine called Vibe, but the shape of the figure is almost in the V shape as well.

Hero Fantasies

Been a big fan of Wolverine I was attracted to this package. It’s a comic hero recognized by multiple audiences almost anywhere you go. The thing that attracted me the most was the big “X” in the center of the different packages stating X-Men. Die cuts in packages always makes them of greater value and more dynamic compared to the ones that are completely enclosed in a cardboard box. The colors are also really bright making it stand out from the crowd and make it desirable to little kids. The pictures also convey he is a superhero and I can see kids relating to this toy trying to fulfill their hero fantasies.
