Hang Tag Project

Interesting Podcast

I just listened to this Design Matters podcast, and thought that it corresponded perfectly to what this class is all about. Also, near the end of the interview, Tim Brown talks about how design is changing as social media allows more consumer participation. This made me think about what Kristen asked each group about how we could connect with people via email, facebook, etc.

Soap Project

Here is my attempt at the soap packaging project we worked on earlier in the term. The target was "Joe", a bearded, flannel-wearing warehouse worker. My goal was to create the sense of a classic and powerful soap. I tried to avoid over-designing the package or using many contemporary elements in order to establish "Tartan" as an old and trustworthy brand. But I might have went a little to far with that idea. The result is kind of dull. Oops.
