Fig.13 BRUSH WITH FASHION

THE BODY SHOP AND LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION LAUNCHED A COMPETITION EARLIER LAST YEAR,
WHEREBY STUDENTS OF THE COLLEGE COULD WIN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN THE PACKAGING FOR THE SPRING TREND 2011 COLLECTION. FOLLOWING A RIGOROUS JUDGING PROCESS, WE CHOSE KATARINA VOLODER 21 TO DESIGN A RANGE OF ILLUSTRATIONS WHICH WOULD BE APPLIED ACROSS SPRING SUMMER RANGE OF PRODUCTS.
I WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH KATARINA AND MADE SURE I MADE THE MOST OF HER ILLUSTRATIONS AND APPLIED THEM IN A WAY WHICH WOULD BE DESIRABLE AND COLLECTIBLE TO THE CONSUMER. IT WAS SO FUN WORKING WITH SUCH ENTHUSIASTIC AND TALENTED STUDENTS, IT MADE ME WANT TO GO BACK TO COLLEGE.

Fig.12 HONEY BRONZE

THE BRIEF WAS TO DESIGN A BRONZING RANGE WHICH ILLUSTRATES A NEW ACTIVE INGREDIENT ‘HONEY’ - WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KEEPING WITHIN THE BODY SHOP'S EXISTING BRONZING CATEGORY. THIS DESIGN IS NOT ONLY APPEALING AND SUNNY IT ALSO SHOWS THE PROGRESS OF CHANGE IN COLOUR ILLUSTRATING THE BUILD UP OF A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL LOOKING TAN WITHOUT THE SUN DAMAGE. IT IS ALSO PART OF THE BODY SHOP'S CAMPAIGN FOR SAVING THE BEE'S FROM EXTINCTION.

Fig.11 AMBER OUD

THIS IS A FAVORITE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE, AND IS DESIGNED PURELY FOR THE MIDDLE EAST. I LOVE THE RICH HEADY SCENT. THIS PACKAGING HAD TO HOLD THE SAME EQUITY'S THAT OUD STANDS FOR - RICHNESS - GOLD - PURE - EXPENSIVE - CULTURE - TRADITION - HISTORY.

Fig.10 THE BODY SHOP TRAVEL BAGS

THE BRIEF WAS TO DESIGN A RANGE OF TRAVEL BAGS ILLUSTRATING THE BODY SHOP'S CORE VALUES - 'ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH', I REDREW THE FAMOUS POSTER BY RICHARD BROWNING TO EMBELLISH THE RECYCLED RANGE OF WASH BAGS ADVERTISING THE NEED TO RECYCLE - REUSE - REVIVE -RELIVE.
IM SURE TO BE PACKING ONE OF THESE, THIS SUMMER IN MY SUITCASE.

Fig.09 IMPACT ART FAIR

I WAS APPROACHED BY A CHARITY CALLED CREATIVE FUTURES, THEY ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE TO DESIGN AN IDENTITY FOR AN ART FAIR. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, PHYSICAL DISABILITIES / LEARNING DIFFICULTIES. WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS, SUBSTANCE MIS-USE, WHO ARE REFUGEES, LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYED, OFFENDERS OR EX-OFFENDERS. I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH SUCH A CHARITY, THEY WANTED A LOGO WHICH ILLUSTRATES STRENGTH, CREATIVITY AND POSITIVITY. HERE ARE THE THREE CONCEPTS I PUT FORWARD TO THEM. THEY CHOSE THE MIDDLE ONE - THE ART FAIR IS NOW ON AT THE CANDID ARTS TRUST IN ISLINGTON LONDON.
