An interesting hanger concept


During my research for packaging design for a project, I came across this impressive design concept that incorporates a hanger and a bag. I think this is a brilliant idea as from previous experience working in a clothes shop, I found putting hangers into a bag a nightmare.

Old game packaging




During my visit to my grandparents I came across these games spirograph and whot card and was interested by their packaging. I like the simple use of bright colours to attract children's attention, as well as simple patterns and type on the boxes.

Manifesto






These are various steps you can carry out in order to save energy in everyday life.
1) Cook together to save turning the oven on and off.
2) Switch off plugs that aren't in use.
3) Turn the tap off when your not using it e.g when brushing your teeth don't leave the tap running.
4) Switch the television off at the plug, don't leave it on standby.
5) Only leave your laptop on sleep for 30 minutes, if you leave it longer shut it down.
6) Walk when you can instead of using a car.

These are photos taken from a photo shoot I did for a magazine article on burlesque. The idea is to celebrate curves and represent the teasing element of burlesque.
