Feeling Frustrated

  

I didn't get to work on my design as much as I would have liked to today. I worked from 8:30 until 6:30... I am exhausted. I am not really sure where to go from here. I am feeling really uninspired by the type faces I am experimenting with and I have a great packaging idea which I found at a store, but I have no idea where I would get this made in bulk... I have done some type studies all laid out with the little flower/leaf logo... but so far I am not impressed and I still like the second option the best. The last one I feel is way too stiff. I guess my second choice right now is number 5. I have realized that whatever I choose it should definitely be more round to match the leaves themselves. 

Logo Ideas

    

So here is a bit of what I have been doing with the logo. I would still like to do more font studies to get one that is just right. I adjusted the shape and size and they are now more in sync with each other. The three flavors I will be designing for will be a green tea called Citrus Mint, a white tea called White Peony, as well as a black tea called Chocolate Chili. I am running through a lot of packaging ideas I want something that is really different and something collectible and reusable.

initial thoughts

Today is Wednesday, September 17. This is the first day of the sustainable tea package project. In this assignment we are to design a logo and basic stationary set as well as packaging for a tea company called "Awaken". The packaging has to be sustainable in some sense. This could be recycled, repurposed, or biodegradable. In this blog I will be discussing my findings and ideas. This is a really interesting photo I found on Flickr or a recycled soda bottle turned container.
