New Idea Possibility - Vanessa

After the feedback about originality I started to look into completely different ideas and something where we could still utilise the candy idea. Looking at the formation of the candy and thinking about the idea of "Escape" I thought of the idea of crystals.

I thought that maybe we could use different coloured candy to represent different coloured gems from different countries. This would tie in with the idea of travel, escapism and even incorporating the suitcase more into the design.

I started looking at different gem stones and possible colours that we could use.

Sapphire/Topaz - Blue

Garnet/Ruby - Red

Alexandrite/Emerald  -Green

Golden Beryl - Yellow

Amber/ Citrine - Orange

Kunzite/ Rose Quartz- Pink

Amethyst/ - Purple

I then started to think about the whole idea of packaging. At the moment we are using plastic baggies as they went with the breaking bad theme however the tutors concerns about this may make us change this. The texture of the candy means that we need packaging that is air tight and also able to keep the contents inside so it doesnt make a mess. Because of this I believe that the plastic bags are the best as they dont stick, are simple to use and we already have bought them. 

The whole idea of suitcases and utilising that made me think of the idea of having the candy be in the plastic bags inside a mini suitcase as a type of packaging. 

Below are some images of some examples I found.

 
 

In our initial Breaking Bad idea we had a cops and robbers type game happening, we could use that idea in our stall still and have it as a sort of catch me if you can between a police man/woman and a thief who has stolen a special gem. This still adds an element of fun and takes our stall around the market more and creates interaction. People that compete in this challenge would then receive the stamp from us if they are participating in the Passport Stall.

Imagery from other countries/a sense of the exotic and travel would work well with this idea and would once again tie in with the overall theme and the suitcase idea. Below are some precedent images that inspired me.
