The finished seed packet project

This was a challenging project to accomplish, but I feel it was helpful in growing a little bit more as a designer. The critiques were invaluable by pointing out things I didn't notice in my own work and taught me how to improve design continuity. There were many excellent concepts and the work shows the talents of everyone taking this course. It was very interesting to see the designs develop from start to finish.













Keeping with the plant growing from a conceptual illustration in the first two packets, Job seeds and Small Business seeds, I chose the piggy bank to represent Consumer Spending seeds. The idea behind the Consumer spending is when people have some leftover money in savings accounts (i.e. piggy banks), they will spend it at those small businesses represented in the second illustration. I chose roses for the third packet with the idea that increased consumer spending is a "sweet smell" to many people because of the positive impact it bears on our country's economy.
The concepts are all related and are all some things our country really needs. Small business creates more jobs, more jobs increases consumer spending which helps those small businesses, and increased consumer spending helps the employment rate increase.

Here's what the packets evolved from before the end product:

Below are the mounted packets and the back of the Job seeds packet. These photos taken in the lab didn't turn out the best, but here they are regardless:
