Words of a feather

  • Packaging
  • Calligraphy
  • Illustration
  • Concept creation

Challenge: Create a conceptual packaging design for a calligraphy kit that emphasizes the delicacy of the craft. The products inside need to work together as a whole, yet be able to stand on their own as separate pieces.

Proposed solution: The kit plays off the idiom "birds of a feather" emphasising the fact that quills were used for calligraphy in the past. All the pieces are named after bird-related idioms to enchance the concept. Visual design carries on the feather theme and connects the design to the concept.
