Much has been said about how to define graphic design in a multimedia age. These definitions range from the endearingly misguided (“anything with type”) to the baldly mercantile (“anything done for a client”) to the confounding and recondite (we’ll skip those). No one quite agrees. Yet there are serious, practical implications to the question, as well as theoretical ones.

DESIGN 100: Packaging (cont'd)

80 WINK
“The client came to us with a desire to create a line of bath and body products, but no real strategy, name or creative direction,” recalls designer Richard Boynton of Wink, “just three fragrance ideas. There was really nothing to set the product apart within an already-crowded product category. So we rolled up our sleeves and created a brand, starting with the name: Daub & Bauble.”

Soaps and lotions occupy valuable countertop real estate throughout the home. They’ve essentially become a home decor accessory reflecting the consumer’s design sensibility, much the way a strategically placed coffee-table book or throw pillow might. Wink determined that “edition packaging” would be something completely new within the bath and body category, giving Daub & Bauble a much-needed brand proposition. Within each fragrance line there are currently three variations of wallpaper-esque patterns: modern, classic and toile. The information on the label is compact and allows the bottles to be displayed with only the aesthetically pleasing pattern facing outward. by Sheree Clark
