Lushie Hair Co.
Packaging
The packaging for a hypothetical product challenges societal expectations that women should remove their body hair to be considered beautiful. The product aims to nourish all hair on the body as one would on their head, and the design challenge was to make a visual statement through illustration. To attract consumers, the packaging should reflect the messaging of embracing body hair with clever copywriting and fun colours. The packaging's bubbly and carefree persona is meant to mimic how the person will feel when using the product. The target audience is young women aged 16-35, who feel the most pressure to conform to beauty standards, making the design particularly relevant and appealing to this demographic.
Machinal Play Promotion
Promotion
The task was to create promotional products for a theatre production of Machinal by Sophie Treadwell, a 1920s German expressionist play about a woman feeling trapped by societal expectations. The challenge was to make a visual statement about the expectations still placed on women, using consistent visual language throughout the series to evoke emotion. The inspiration was the idea that women were viewed as objects. The design used a visual metaphor of a doll and a bottle, representing the protagonist and the murder weapon. Combining the two represents the feeling of being stuck, conveying the play's themes. The design aims to provoke thought and create a memorable experience for the attendees using four touchpoints that follow the user journey from advertisement to attending the production.
