Post Legges and Wye Valley Visit & Q+A - Vishnu


After visiting Legges and Wye Valley, I found that legges was a small store which had a clear brand of producing fresh local produce some of the images below show the condiments that are required to be part of the packaging design. Looking at the current label and packaging design for legges is useful, as I will need to consider this for my final design.

The visit to Wye Valley was a little better we were taken on a tour of the factory and on the day they were making beer. The brewery sources local produce and have been running for 26 years. The trip was also useful as we go to see their current packaging.

From here I now need to do some research in to how I would get 2 bottle of beer and 1 condiment to work in gift pack for this I will need to:

1.   Look at their competitors and there packaging
2.   Other beer brands and there packaging & Materials

Shown below are some images from the trip.

Task 03: Design a theoretical prototype multi use shoe/trainer/boot box



For my shoe box design I decided to create something every one would have a use for.

For this I have looked at design a shoebox, which looks similar to a draw and once the shoes have been removed can also be used to store paper. One the draw bit is removed the hollow box had perforated edges which can be ripped off to create a slanted corner and in the draw part of the box are to slots which slot into the hollow part to create 3 different divides to store paper.
