MLK Landmark Postcards- Bridget Lombardi

Packaging Product Final

Well, I decided to make a package for a candy I am making for friends for Christmas, called Buckeyes. I used raindeer (Rudolf and his girlfriend) as the sides that the corners connected and candy stripes in pink, green, brown and white for the other sides. Then I added funny information at the bottom.

Packaging product

I scanned this pistachio box and considered doing this, but I decided for Xmas i am going to maake some candy presents. Paige cleared it so that I can do the chinese food box for my own candy creations presents and make it a product myself.

Packaging ideas

I like these fun packages like the purse and the ketchup characters. Make them seem like 3 dimensional little people or something. I have been playing with the chinese food package idea and doing something cool, but I dont know if that will go anywhere. Another idea is for some type of candy packaging or a Big Mac box/burger box......Another idea is the Unicef box. We got one last year and trick or treated for UNICEF and actually made like $22 for their cause. I remember the box they sent in the mail was kinda neat-o, but ugly.

Final Product

I scanned the soldiers/police men because I couldnt get a good picture of them. Tired to make the beak and eye yellow to emphasize the hawk eye part. Printed a pic, drew it, scanned, then drew more in photoshop, added gradient, a spray brush. Made the soldiers fight the hawk, with the band's name in the beak like he is eating it, or saying it. The starry night was just a happy surprise and added some stars. Felt like the type fit good for the event.

Some Hawkeye stuff they have had in the past:

Hawkeye Pierce Inspirations

James said the origin of the band's name came for his own last name, the character Alan Alda played , Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H (who got his name from the Last of the Mohicans in the show), and also represents a dying breed, anachronism in the modern world, ghosts of the past, the displaced. Standing your ground is a fundamental concept in country music. He also said he is not totally against me using a hawk's eye.



I was thinking of doing a less graphic version of a hawk eating something. Based on what James told me about the name origin, I want to incorporate the saying "STAND YOUR GROUND". I was thinking the Hawk could be eating a toy soldier and the other soldiers could be fighting the hawk. Like fighting chaos, that references the army character, the standing your ground, the hawk etc.





I was thinking I could use birds in some of my graphics/ type words. I also found some soldiers that spell letters. But I also want to put the band's name in the Hawk's eye. It might be a black and white sketch.

I really like this hawk image, might sketch it for the background of the poster.



I like this one, its kinda cartoon-y, but I think I am going in another direction now.
