STACY POST4:

Use bubbl us
http://bubbl.us/ free web software to brainstorm packaging materials, forms, concepts, promotions etc
Save brainstorming as a jpg and upload to the blog.
Add the  jpg to form  part of your  indesign document which will also contain the twenty thumbnails done so far- thumbnails will probably need to be defined and scanned or photographed.

After brainstorming select 5 best options for packaging and create an initial prototype for each from paper card, etc.
Experiment with placement and position of logo, images and info. photograph these prototypes.

Select your best alternatives for logos and packaging and apply the six thinking hats process, recording your thoughts reflect on comments and use to improve.

Susie Beame - 10 Typefaces

Robyn - What I consider to be the 10 best typefaces for the 5 markets:

STACY: LADY GREY TEA PARTY

1

Today we tasted a loose leaf tea that Mirra correctly identified as Lady Grey Tea. It is a fragrant light black tea that contains orange peel,  lemon peel, cornflower and bergamot flowers. It was agreed that it was an attractive looking tea which may require a window in the packaging and perhaps reference to colour or citrus elements in packaging graphics and colour. The tea tasting was accompanied by Mirra's health conscious gluten free cake,  Robyn's traditional shortbread and Rita's exotic sticky date. All totally delicious. Thankyou. Some photos of different tea cups indicating all the different markets.

STACY POST 3: TEA & TYPOGRAPHY

Today you changed hats and formed a  new thinking group.
1. The group was  asked to examine the five markets identified last week- (exotic, traditional, budget, novelty and herbal )
2. Select 5 typefaces for each market from the perspective of the assigned thinking hat.
3.As a group upload the 25 fonts
4. As an individual (still with the same assigned thinking hat) make 5  comments on typefaces.

For homework you are asked to
1. In your diary produce another 10 thumbnails for logo choosing a new name/s from the brainstormed selection.
2. Make a post on the blog as an individual - what do you consider  to be the 10 best typefaces for the 5 markets then write the tea names in the selected typeface and  upload on the blog
