Hi Andreea - could you pop up some initial thinking post client visits etc here.. Some folks have also popped-up some useful pics as well - perfect for blogs etc.. Trying to get all to treat their blogs as a 'journal' with a x-section of refs etc - sent a similar post to others too just prompting them to put up initial thinking/refs etc too.

Ta,

Artist's work: shoe box design

 

 

Task 3

      Having   broad range of shoe box examples, the first thing that came in my mind is: who am I designing it for? The audience that is buying the most, and that is between the age of 16-28.
     I also tried to combine things that I like with something that the buyer would be interested, and everybody likes posters. (especially if it's collectable or done by a favourite/famous artist).
    So I created a box which has as a cover a poster using aluminum as material (Reference:
http://www.world-aluminium.org/About+Aluminium/Story+of). Inside, there are 2 compartments, made from the same material, that can be used for depositing markers, pens or pencils.
