New idea (Profiles, Barbie Packaging box)


I got a new idea of naming our models by their skin tone codes. I used barcodes as a main visual element as I would like to "productise" our models. I named our 4 models into product #1-#4. These could be posted as Instagram posts as introduction profiles of our models. The aim is to create an ironic effect of how people are treating models of different skin colours like a product to be shown in their advertisements.

I then got an idea of developing the concept into a barbie packaging box. As Barbie is considered to be a very "white" doll, I thought that it would be even more ironic if the idea is put into context of a barbie packaging design. I then drafted a packaging using the elements in the profile designs. I am still thinking if I should develop the idea as it will not look as professional as a final outcome because it is not feasible to make a 3d barbie version of our models. I do not think mockups are strong enough to present the idea too. Also, as seen, there is limited space in a barbie box, the barcodes cannot be emphasised in the packing design which made the concept less significant.
