So to keep a flow of idea's constantly flowing, I have decided to add in various 'day fillers' such as this one. Have to admit I thought of it only yesterday though (which-yes I know was Monday) while out 'browsing' at the local mall, I happened to stumble on a fantastic design at Foschini's. Of course what made it even more fantastic was a) the element of suprise at seeing these gift boxes in store b) knowing that I designed them! c) seeing 3monthes of hard work pay off and d) seeing the first mass produced item I have designed since free-lancing standing on REAL shelves (and my bookshelf doesn't count!).
Foschini's became a client of mine through doing work for a friends wedding stationary (her bridesmaid passed my portfolio on) - and these fragrance gift boxes were the first two jobs I have done for them. I have also designed the current Father's Day mailer and ad campaigns for them which is the first time that Foschini's have come out with a Father's Day booklet for fragrance and jewellery! SO that was another major notch in the belt for me.design.studio!
* am still waiting to receive the printed work for the ads and booklet and will upload once I have them in my possession.
* many thanks must go to barry michaels -bmfa (finished artwork) for all his great work and idea bouncing on this job - and to jp gouws (re-touching) & emielke (photography)
