Creating packaging and instructions

When thinking about how I could create the easy to follow guide to creating a block printed pattern, I had the idea of adding the instructions to the packaging to make it more sustainable. This will stop wasted paper and lessen the chance of losing the guide itself.

To start I sketched out ideas for the design of the box and how the guide could be seen.

I decided to use the design of the box folding out to show the instructions when the lid is removed. This will allow the guide to be easily seen whilst allowing the box to remain rigid for transport.

For the box I have decided to use a 300 GSM munken design paper stock from GF Smith because I think the warm white paper fits the brand identity.

For the instruction I decided to look at an online guide to refresh myself on each step to create a block print, as I have not used block printing for 3 years. I found this helped because it also allowed me to see what language I should use for a beginners guide as the language the Daisy team use is simple and concise. However, I found that they used multiple steps that could be combined into 3 or 4 steps instead of 12 (Daisie Team, 2023).

For the first test print I found that the net I had created did not work because two sides were too big. To fix this I decided to look at a free exploding box net to see what size the sides need to be. However, unlike this net I have decided to fold the corners instead of cutting them out, to make the box more sturdy for transport, making the block more protected.

Once I had remade the template, using the downloaded template as a reference, I test printed it to see how the instructions sit on the page and if the block fits

I found that the block fits snugly, allowing minimal room for moving around and breaking in transport.

Decided to use folds to separate sections with the folds to make it easy to follow. The middle I placed the steps for the block to link it more. However, I found the middle is larger so I need to experiment with design.

Furthermore I can downsize the text as it currently looks too big

However, I like how it links to the website by using the same typefaces for headings and body text. However, I need to look at how I can bring other elements of the branding into the design to make assets link better.

IPhone Apps Where to start?

So you want to create and App but don’t know where to start?

 This can be the hardest part the unknown, not knowing the language or the platform can be scary but you just have to do it!

They say it’s easy when you know how and one day you will look back and think I don’t know what o was afraid of.

 So lets look at some of the technologies and how to use them.

 IPhone Apps – You can create IPhone apps using objective C but recently Apple have released a new programing language called Swift.

 Android – These apps are create with the android studio and a language called Java not to be mistaken with Javascript , completely different.

 Windows Phone Apps can be make use C#

 With all these different technology’s its can be difficult to get your app across all devices. Create native apps can be beneficial, however if you prefer to write one app that will work across all devices then you can use some frameworks that will allow you to write one app in Javascrpit and HTML that will work on all devices the best one I have come across it the Apache Cordova.

 So now you have deceived which platform to use now it’s time to think about learning resources, I will cover this in great detail in my next post.

 Until then …

Whose Definition Is It Anyways?

Can one definition of poverty be applied to the entire world, or is poverty relative? One would also have to define what exactly are we evaluating when determining development. Maybe development is also relative. Who has the power to deem a place or people undeveloped? Who truly is developed?
