Now that we had the templates, we could then go on to explore how each additional space would look. We felt that using the turquoise would enhance the illustrations, whilst also creating contrast to the type. Jenna was given the job of creating a possible decoration that could be applied to each of the separate boxes. To add detail, it was decided that we could use the small flowers that I had illustrated, to create a border or a floral pattern. Jenna stated "I started by using small ones and placing them on the edge of the frame. Dotted lines were also added as further decoration but I felt that these were a bit excessive, so instead the flowers were used around the cutout as a finishing touch." Jenna also experimented with making the flowers larger, creating an area of decoration in the corner of the boxes. However, we both decided that this wasn't as effective, and it didn't really work alongside the rest of the illustration.
Once we had decided on the finalised border, this could then be applied to each of the template, using a copy and paste method. I believe that this will look successful on the packaging as it isn't too busy and it doesn't distract from the rest of the packaging.
As the packaging is for food, it is necessary that we include particular information on each box, this includes dietary information and ingredients. We wanted to use the same type from the rest of the design, carrying on the same hierarchy. Jenna experimented with a number of different colour variations, looking at how the information included could be separated and lay out. We went through each design and decided that it would be best to display the information using a white box so that it was legible and clearer to see.
