Development - Matchbox

Development




Using the pen tool i traced my drawings and developed the type on illustrator.



I didn't like my heat design so i redesigned the type.



















I started to put the the design together on photoshop adding in a few watercolours and leaf overlays to add a little colour and creativity to the designs.


Final Designs













Here are my final outcomes.







For the back of the matchbox i took my arabic patterns and lived traced them using a variety of the different live trace options.







Next like my front design i took the patterns onto photoshop and played around with my watercolour overlays.



Final Designs









Final outcomes.



Matchbox template








I placed both designs onto the matchbox template.



The only legal requirement for the matchboxes was to have the words safest matches placed somewhere on the designs. I then quickly choses this simple serif typeface and started to develop and adjust the type a little, to make the text more clear to read.



I decided to place them onto the side of the boxes.
