Evaluation of Packaging


These are my (almost) finished designs. I like these designs however whenever I copied and pasted something from Photoshop onto it there was a white boarder around it, so I had to slightly re-design my packaging so I could hide this. Hence the white squares on every side with a fray boarder. I decided to create my own bar code and add my orange, lemon & lavender into the barcode.




These are my Info-Graphics to be used on the side of my packaging:
The main ingredients in each product will feature on the packaging and these are all my own drawings done on Photoshop, which are featured below.
An Orange, A Lemon and Lavender



This will be my Point of Sale
This is what the net of my Point of Sale will look like. It has 3 shelves and a base to stand on.
I made quite a few miniature boxes to use as models for my miniature Point Of Sale

Bauhaus

German Bauhaus:
Bauen=build
Haus=house

They believed in very simplistic design and believed that beauty comes from within the object itself.
1919- Founded by Walter Gropius in Weimer, Germany
1922- Van Doesberg taught a course at Bauhaus & clearly reflected the stark simplicity and functionalism of much of the bauhaus output after that.
1925- Moved to Dessau, Germany. Into a new purpose built home which reflected the core Bauhaus values
Marcel Breuer's 'Wassily' chair. Great marriage between Art, Design and Machine Production
1926- Bauhaus Building completed
1927- Architecture department opens
1928- Gropius resigned and Hanneys Meyer took over
1929- Photography department is opened
1930- Hanneys dismissed in 1930 for bringing politics into the house and creating a haven for communism
1932- Bauhaus Dessau closed & migrated to Berlin
1933- Bauhaus disbands for good, due to Nazi's acclaiming them to be Communists & enemies of the state

Political pressure and constant scrutiny by the Nazi movement continued to cast a shadow over the school and in 1928 Gropius resigned and was succeeded by Hannes Meyer. 
A socialist, he was dismissed in 1930 for bringing politics into the Bauhaus and creating a haven for
communism. 

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) took his place at the helm and attempted to eliminate the politics and get back to the basic principles of the movement but by 1932 the Dessau parliament had decided to dissolve the Bauhaus and although it found a temporary home in Berlin for a period, it was effectively at an end.
