At the beginning of this project me and my partner Helen Niu were assigned a song called 20th Century Boy by T. Rex. We were supposed to listen to it and create promotional packaging with a poster, a T-shirt and a CD inside.
We started by exploring the genre of the music this band played and the history of the band itself to find some inspiration for our designs.
Helen and I both came up with a design for each of the elements. We picked a set of six images that we had to include which made the designs look more cohesive.
For the final product, we decided to go with Helen’s design after we got some feedback from the class. We made a few alterations to the initial design for all of the items look more cohesive. And for the box, we decided to go with a top hat instead of a regular cylinder box. To add more character to some of the elements, we added glitter to make it a little bit more interesting and fun.
