STRAND BOTTLE AND PACKAGING - FCP

Fashion Communication and Promotion students collaborated with Graphic Design students to create fragrance packaging and bottles.
We were extemely lucky with the group of students that we were given, extremely hard working and listened to all of our feedback.
A lot of ideas and rough copies were produced. The original designs are very different to what we ended up with, which in my opinion shows great team work and growth within a group. 




AND The final results: 


We wanted our bottle to resemble an oil can, again keeping a light hearted consistency throughout Strand. Overall we wanted a more delicate silhouette which in keeps with the beauty industry. Design features such as a pump were practical for dispensing the fragrance oil. With an additional safety cap to stop any oils spills (no pun intended).


Outer packaging displays a STRAND motif pattern which wraps around the bottle… Representing the smoothness of your hair as a finished result. To open, a little STRAND of thread dangles down inviting you to tear open the packaging, uncovering a wash of colour which corresponds to the scent. The instruction cards for our product illustrate a cute story of how to use your new fragrance- a little helping hand which slots inside the inner packaging.
