What is Good // Bunting // Concept

Initially my concept was to design a few 'how to make your own bunting kits' and perhaps some stationery.  After some thought, I decided that this was too simple a concept and didn't give me enough chance to design many things.

The New Concept:

My new concept has more to it.  The idea is to make bunting out of recycled materials which I am going to try and get people to donate, for example old unwanted clothes and old bed sheets would be excellent.  I intend to make the bunting myself, with maybe the help from a friend and then hopefully sell it at the 'Reet Sweet Craft Fair' at the Corn Exchange.  I have already spoken to a friend of mine who says I may be able to get a table at the craft fair for free which would be excellent, but this still needs to be confirmed.  As the bunting will be made from recycled materials it will be inexpensive to make.  The money made from the event I will donate to a local charity, one that Leeds Shoppers can relate to.

Things to Design:

• Branding for event/donation of clothes
• Packaging for Bunting
• Business Cards
• Table Display (will have to be professional and beautiful to compete with other stalls)
• Posters for the event
• Posters around college to get people to donate material
• Badges

Also as I develop my concept and keep working on it, I am sure other things I'll need to design shall crop up.


Below is a spider diagram of my current thoughts about the project:

•  Bunting will be sewn by me
•  Sold in 3m lenghts
•  Made from recycled/re-used materials
•  Possible Places to sell - Corn Exchange, Full Circle, College
•  The Charity has to be a local one that shoppers can relate to, any leftover bunting I could sell another time.
• The price will be affordable as all fabric used will be donated, also so people actually buy the product

Still need to:

•  Think of a name
• Contact Reetsweet & Full Circle

Just been having a little think of what the packaging might look like, I think this will be a massive selling point.  It is a bit soon for this but I was just jotting down some idea's.  Now I need to plan plan plan!

Below is a screen shot of a collection of Packaging images which I took to the Crit today to help people get an idea of what kind of style and feel I want this project to have:
