Development

I want to get my box printed before anything else so that I have enough time to put it together. If I leave it till after christmas it'll end up being a huge rush. I was really happy with the pattern I made with the illustrations of utensils and also liked the colouring. However, although the colours looked good, I didn't feel it was appropriate for the subject and audience.

During my original presentation I showed these three colours that felt appropriate for this brief but later forgot about. I went back to these colours and edited my design to use this colour palette.

I did some research in to current designs in food and found that 

green and red were a popular choice!

I also looked in to the meaning of the colours:

GREEN

The color green is such a healthy color. Salads are filled with green foods and most products considered being more natural than others are usually contained in green packaging. Many people are attracted to the color green and associated it with abundance. This is a good color to promote healthy eating and lots of it.

RED

The color red raises a person’s blood pressure, heart rate, and causes hunger to be more prevalent. This is why many restaurants choose to have red table cloths on tables or red accents on the walls.

For these reasons, green and red seemed like the most appropriate colours to use. Here is what I did next:

I asked a few people if what they preferred out of the red or green box

 and the majority thought the green.
