Label Swap
Our brief challenged us to swap labels of common items found in a convenient store and produce a tangible product. The purpose of this brief is too explore the reasoning behind the way a certain package is designed.
I swapped ZeroWater and Gregg’s Jelly because they have different textures to their production and was I curious to see to how I would swap their labels. I designed, laser cut, stuck and photographed the end result. With switching the design elements from both products. A different brand or target market is advertised through its design.
The original Zerowater Bottle design communicated an appeal for an Upper-class target market as it used a minimalistic design and displayed an abstract image signifying water, but in an energetic form by how its splashed around the 'O'. This could indicate a target aim towards athletes, or shoppers with an outgoing lifestyle.
The original Jelly packet design implicates an appeal for a middle-class target market, as it exhibits a full design that is soft and colourful. The packaging uses cursive typography and displays the jelly product in a 'conventional dessert' fashion. This would imply the target market is aimed towards children, that would influence mothers or caregivers to buy the product.

The swap of labels changes the semiotics contrary to its original design. The ZeroWater Bottle exemplifies a 'school lunchbox' characteristic as it displays a full and comical appearance.
The Jelly box displays a more ambiguous appearance. It exhibits a quirky appearance that diverts from typical Jelly box designs and exemplifies an appeal towards shoppers who enjoy an eccentric aesthetic in their inventory.
