LUNCH
YCN & Graze Submission for the YCN/Graze brief, 2012 working with collaborative designer partner, Charlie Crosby, to create a rebranded design concept and outcomes for the Graze company, encouraged as part of our student module outcome to expand upon the brief, and look outside of the brief requirements. Proposing the introduction of the “Working Lunch� brand, promoted to 18-30 year old working professionals, with busy or hectic lifestyles. With the instillation of vendour stalls at central city train stations, and Graze branded vending machines to distribute the lunch boxes within the office, we hoped to propose an
easy alternative for high-end, premium product integration. Our main focus was to brand the Graze company with a clear, distinctive, and minimal design approach which was suited to the smart office environments. We also aimed to work towards a much more interactive, multi-media, social networking means of communication to suit the lifestyles of the working professionals as office workers and commuters, as well as to be actively more ecologically beneficial to the company and their ethical production policies.
Industry
I am currently looking for work placements and Studio Visits throughout July and August 2012 to develop my understanding of the Industry, and continue to strengthen my network and connections both nationally and internationally.
