JOOOSBOX!

JOOOSBOX
Promotional Pack and self-branded products / material
- to be sent out to all contacts within the industry (relevant practitioners, art directors, design agencies, relevant businesses and galleries when hoping to exhibit work)


Concept
- a play on the americanised word and product "juicebox" 
- a fun concept for a promotional pack, getting my creative branding material out to agencies and making my mark whilst hopefully having a memorable impact on the recipient whilst acting as a high quality almost gift like item. Everyone likes receiving a gift in the posts - why should this be any different in its appeal?

Aims:
Should have a professional aesthetic, whilst conveying my interests as a practitioner
Should be a convenient way of "packaging" my products
Should be brand specific and yet versatile in terms of what the recipient can use it for (storage of personal items, stationary etc.) - The box itself becomes a product, therefore must look appealing
Should have clear links / work as part of a set - within my creative presence and other self-branded products


Final promotional pack - digital process
- Format, layout and mockups (external box design)

Evaluation

I feel i have thought about the promotion side to my self-branding in great depth and this shows in the range of products I would like to use as a mail out in order to promote myself and my practice.

I feel taking my branding one step further and creating my own "JOOOSBOX" promo-back helps to collate all my items into a nice and hopefully well received body of material, that a key recipient in the design industry would be happy to receive.

Ideas for the future:

As well as an idea of incorporating my brand identity into my proposed promotional packs for the aim of mailing out a collection of material to various agencies, art directors, companies and directors etc I have a few further ideas of where I can take this concept.


  • Name of an exhibition / exhibit / collection / set of new work
  • Name of my own personal studio / studio space, should I ever be successful enough in my endeavours as a creative
  • Name of an interactive exhibit: People enter through a box - essentially stepping "outside of the box" -(a take on my ethos which appears on business cards and creative CV) - into another world filled with my creative endeavours on show.
