Green & Black's and Peter Blake

Green & Black’s, (whose chocolate packaging has been featured more than once on the dieline) has done a modest packaging refresh.

They’ve reversed the brown and accent color areas of the packs so that what was once mainly brown with an accent color is now the other way round.

To promote the more color-dominant packaging, they’ve commissioned Peter Blake to make this artwork of their new packaging in a mosaic-like arrangement. (They’re also holding a contest for a additional mosaic designs.)

Student Spotlight: Lucy Hargrave

 

Lucy Hargrave is a recent graduate of Visual Communication Design at the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, Australia. Here are two of her projects, the first is Soapworks:

"Designed in collaboration with Josh Tatarynowicz, these packages were for a handmade goats milk soap company. We created four intricate Mandala patterns based on the natural ingredients used in each soap flavour; like peppermint leaves, rose petals & lemon slices. The patterns are laser cut out of card and allow for the soap to be smelt through the packaging."
