welcome to "header"

designing a header bag for a product in a series of three.

A vivid, colorful wordless ad display of small plastic bags with cardstock header pieces, containing hair ties, a mini comb, and floss picks.

typography

the logo wordmark was to be clean while retaining some elegance and playfulness with bd orange regular.

arlette was chosen for the item name and tagline text for its interesting but not overwhelming flourishes.

aktiv grotesk was used for all body text for its versatility, with many different weights giving it a unique appearance.

the brief

choose a small item (one of three variations) and design a series of three header bag graphics with a cohesive visual system while also making each of the three entries unique.

illustrations

each header bag graphic contains a unique floral motif that is subtly visible on the front and back of the card. you know why? because the target audience is women and flowers are what i attribute to that so there they are.
