Products to package

Some products I got hold of to re package as mock ups for my picnic brief. I chose products that don't require complex nets as this is not an area that I am interested in designing for.

Tin packaging

A tin/plastic box is something I hadn't considered until now as a way to package the recipe cards. I like the idea that should the recipe cards be used, lost, discarded or filed away somewhere, then this becomes an additional kitchen/picnicking vessel. It could almost serve as a collectors item - to tie in with the Olympics in GB. This also makes it even more marketable as a gift.

My only concerns are how I would create good quality mock ups for submission and for my portfolio.

Something to research....

Gourmet Picnic Package Design by Phil Pham

This design is very much along the lines that I am thinking for my set of recipe cards. Even the context is similar to mine. I think that the fact it is made from wood gives it a feeling of a good quality wholesome product. I don't think I want to work with wood, but I think that I will work with a similar format for my recipe cards,  particularly the way that I package them.
