Now that the colour scheme and designs had been decided, it is necessary to test these ideas in mock ups. To do so, I have used online mock ups of the cardboard boxes so that it can be decided which shaped box will work the best in the outcome.
The first set of mock ups allowed the designs to be displayed on brown cardboard boxes. Out of the designs that were tried, the best version was the plain white text because it kept the packaging very minimal and allowed the colour of the cardboard to fit the design. This also gave me the idea to try the designs again but on a white box, as the labels could then be altered to be just one colour.
With the coloured square added to the white boxes, the labels were able to stand out as a single colour. In terms of how this may be beneficial to the production, the white in the text could be removed and then the design would only require one colour to be used in the printing process. One idea that came into discussion from these mock ups, would be to create an information card within the box itself, so that when opened it would mach the same size and style of the outer square. The card within the box could then list the monthly items that are included in the edition.
Thinking about the seasonal theme of each box, meant trying patterns that could potentially be used at certain points in the year. Here is a winter themed snowflake design that was added to the December edition. An alternative idea to this would be to assign different colours to all 12 months of the year or to use certain images and patterns to distinguish each.
