The brief for this project was to design a batiste dry shampoo can package for a company called halo just the front of it but we have to link the design and the name and the fragrance of the can to a trend in 2025 however it was difficult to know what would be trendy in 2025 when I found the trends in 2024 and we were told to have a flowing or tumbling lock design in our creations to give the impression of hair. 
I started doing research on trends in 2025 and made a list of multiple of them and then after that I found links and screenshots for the trends as evidence depending on which one I wanted to use for my design depending on my choice and then after I made multiple names and linked them to fragrances and smells for use. To further find trends I could use in 2025, I made a mind map of detailed choices so I could look and make a choice as I was scrambled and could not make up my mind. As I started to do more research and try to make up my mind I made mood boards of can design research so I could get a clear head of batistes design and their competitors and how they link their smells and names to their designs. 

​I made up my mind for which 3 routes id choose and for all of them I made a mood board of colour palettes, and I also created a mood board of vectors and shapes for each route. I lastly made a mood board for each one based on the fragrance that is chosen to use for each route (the route names that I had are celestial which trend was the colour future dusk being colour of the year, golden aurora whose trend was China finding $83 billion in gold, infinite embrace which trend was the colour baby pink and bold reds being trendy in fashion). 

​Celestial: 
This is the single route that I chose for my design I created a few drawings to start off based on stars and different constellations and then after I created my first pattern and experimented and tried lots of different ways to depict it and show the design and route I was going for and try to find the best version of my first design it took a lot of time but in the end it was worth it as it became my best and my favorite design. And I then created 2 more designs to do with stars and they all incorporate the colour future dusk in them. 
However, after it became 2025 the colour of the year turned out to be mocha mousse and I then created a design for the mocha mouse called mocha-latte just so that I could still incorporate the colour of the year into my designs even though it changed. I put all this information onto my PowerPoint presentation for when I presented to halo and put the mockups of my can designs onto it to better portray how they would look on the shelf. I also added multiple mockups of advertising of each of my products like in billboards and Instagram posts and posters  
​
I think that my designs really hit the brief because I feel like it's my best work that I've produced ever, as my work that  I produced looks very similar to batistes work that they put on shelf because I think in the graphical sense the way my theme design and scent link I really think I achieved the best outcome possible and think it would look great on a shelf and I think I only could have improved in doing more research for my work that I did as I could’ve delved deeper and looked at batistes on work more and tried to find and see how they showed the mood or theme in their work so I could copy the tone of voice and I wish I created a better presentation for halo to better depict my work so I could show them a in depth and more detailed version explaining it better.
