This particular project was a lengthy process where I eventually produced over 24 paint can designs to be reviewed by the management team to establish the final design. As well as this cylindrical layout I was required to design a container with a conical base which involved using equations and degree angles which needed to be exact. I had to create not just the design but the functional template as we produce our own in-house labels.
I have designed shipping boxes for our large cans and our small sample pots.

I love to brain storm and sketch down my idea’s onto paper, usually this revolves around one idea that I stick with until I exhaust it. Once I have a few concepts I like the fun begins digitally. I will begin to draw structures and shapes to produce mock up’s and physical samples. On this occasion: the label needs to go around a cylindrical tin therefore, I will need to check it for how it reads and feels on the shape.
These labels feature detailed safety information and warning instructions, therefore they needed to be uniformed and exact. Each label contains a large amount of this information.
At Bike It International I designed various pieces of packaging, which were manufactured in China. Below: Mammoth Security Disc lock for a motorbike wheel, a small card for a silicone key-ring, and some card packaging for MotoGP. Following their style guidelines, this is produced to fit their branding and Identity.
