I read the article about the Green & Spring packaging by Pearlfisher in the Communication Arts issue in (or around) November 2009, and immediately fell in love. The design was one of my major inspirations for the illustrations and design of my hotel project.
I grabbed the following description of the project from POPSOP:
The GREEN & SPRING collection is a new, natural bath and body range of handmade products inspired by the idyllic English countryside and above all the spectacular C.Side spa and Cowley Manor estate in Gloucestershire. The design needed to work within this framework to capture the magic and uniqueness of the product and focuses on the countryside and namely the birds that can be spotted within the British Isles. Each product, within the three ranges, is characterised by an individual British bird and segmented by individual colour palettes that are directly linked to the emotions associated with them. The ‘Indulging’ products are inspired by warming hues of reds, pinks and oranges, the ‘Relaxing’ products focus on softer and more romantic shades such as purples and greys with the ‘Revitalising’ range engaging the senses with zesty yellows and greens. The front of pack copy forms part of the design story and highlights the key ingredients and their benefits for each product, bringing a ‘poetic clarity’ to the overall visual world of GREEN & SPRING.
