I like how she uses repeated patterns in print and their tribal organic qualities, it is similar to how i want to use pattern within my packaging. I really like how she uses one bold colour contrasting with wood or material (natural materials).

Traditional Mandala Incense

The Traditional Mandala Incense is a bamboo tube containing the Himalayan incense sticks. The incense sticks themselves are wrapped in rice paper. The following describes the Himalayan incense......Each package contains approximately 24 thick sticks that are 8 1/2" long. The package reads..."This incense is made according to an age old Buddhist tradition to offer to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and guardian deities of the ten directions. It contains about one hundred precious aromatic herbs including gurgum, nagi, musk, white & red sandalwood, saffron and other excellent medicinal ingredients. It is prepared by hand with utmost care and devotion for the well being of all the sentient beings and accumulation of merit... " 

 

I would like to use this package for the incense sticks, it looks the most authentic and i think it has a beautiful quality to it, i will look at printing onto rice paper.

The student work from Vancouver BC’s Capilano University keeps rolling in. This time Veronica Stark sends us two of her lovely packaging projects.

“Medina is a high-end incense company that specializes in aromatherapy multi-packs. The name was chosen to reference the ancient Middle-Eastern city from which incense originated, and also alludes to the medicinal qualities of each scent. Each container features a variety of therapeutic scents, allowing you to explore different aromas in one package. With the arabic-inspired patterns, calming color palette and modern typography, Medina is a fresh approach to incense packaging.”

I really like the complex patterns created on for the packaging, it appears fragile and beautiful

Product Range

i love the continuity throughout the range of products the bellyband stock and pattern, although the bellyband colour and the style of packaging changes it is still a strong range.

I like how some of the contents can be seen using a cut out within the packaging.
