Pack #1 Done and Sent!

After much labour and toil, I finally got the first pack sent out and I got someone, who was not acquainted with the project at all, to test out the pack! I’m quite excited now!

Right, here’s what’s happened since the last time:

I created the instructions and the message cards (see above).

I created the ‘branding’… I have the word ‘branding’ in quotation marks there because it’s very basic. It is literally just a logo of type. For now, it will suffice. I also chose to go with a monotone colour scheme to mimic the instructions of the Otamatone. It’s not particularly well designed, but it’s functional.

I also chose not to use any graphics because the nature of the project is all about how different cultures interpret things differently and I feel that using images would have different meanings to different people.

I refined the box to include a window and some printed text as well as my ‘branding’. I then attached the acetate to create the actual window and folded it all together:

I then put stickman in, along with the instructions and the message cards. This resulted in the completed pack!
