For the designs we wanted to create something that visually represented the flavours so we decided to spend a day experimenting with different techniques to create some interesting visuals to use on the bottles and tins.
For the passion fruit we thought about paint splatters and splashes. We used watercolour paints to splat on colours then blow them out with a straw to represent the explosion of flavour that passion fruits provide. The colours here merged a bit too much a bit too much and the colours weren’t as separated as I’d like it to be.
For the blueberry we immediately thought of bubbles bursting. We remembered something that we did in primary school, putting washing up liquid in paints and blowing with a straw to create bubbles. The effect wasn’t as bold as we had expected, it was really hard to get the defined bubbles without getting too much ink on the paper.
For the elderflower flavour we decided to do some paper marbling with yellow and green inks. We tried to create blobs of colour while winding the green ink through to represent the floral tones of the elderflower.
Though all the processes that we have created do represent the flavours we had chosen, the results are not professional enough to use on our packaging. Therefore we decided to create the botanical illustrations and represent the flavours through different shapes adding a burst of colour to the design, inspired by the Sweet Virtues pacakging we looked at in our research. Therefore the concept plays on the idea of a visual representation of flavours.
