Bandages allow us to pursue our daily activities without the worry of dirt or items touching our cuts. Unfortunately water tends to reduce the life of bandages! The goal of this project was to design packaging for a waterproof bandage kit that allowed people to purchase all the “dry” waterproof first-aid products (bandages, gauze, tape) they might need in one kit, rather than getting these supplies separately.
The journey for this packaging design started with brainstorming different ways water could be alluded to through packaging. For example, whether water should be represented through waves, water streaks, droplets, or splashes. Once the idea of waves was chosen, it was time to decide what process could be used to make the waves stand out. Since the idea was to bring either a more “tactile“ or visually striking experience to the packaging, there were several methods that were considered: Spot UV, physical “rain drops,”and holographic foil. After a lot of deliberation, foil seemed to be the most interesting approach for this packaging.
The rest of the packaging, such as the contents inside, were kept minimal.
