In light of recent events, there have been a few sustainable (creativity & communication) and unsustainable attributes (anxiety) I have acquired. Some of these attributes are positive (sustainable) and help me grow as an individual, while some tend to do the opposite.
1. The abundance of coffee, lack of sleep, worrying about graduation and my future hasn’t been easy. So, for my first unsustainable package, I designed “Anti Anxiety Coffee Beans” featuring Anxiety Girl. The best way for me to depict my anxiety was through my own illustrations that showed anxiety girl fighting against what caused her to be anxious. The package itself is made of paper to represent the flimsy nature of my anxiety.
2. The lock-down has undoubtedly brought out the creative side of me. Be it through cooking, reading or drawing. Hence, my first sustainable attribute is creativity for which I designed a creativity cream. The illustrations on the package illustrate the different creative outlets I have been using to cope with the current situation. The cursive font is used to provoke an idea of elegance and creativity. Moreover, the package has a whimsical feel to it with instructions on how to use the creativity cream.
3. My second sustainable attribute is communication - for which I created a communication drink. Recently, I have been able to catch up on old relationships as well as build on existing ones. Hence, the illustrations on the package represent how I used to communicate with my siblings as a child using a tin can. The package itself (tin can) represents the form of communication. The back of the package says “ To start communicating, finish this drink.”
