CONCEPT
Accepting a Challenge
My professor challenged me to merge match boxes and socks as a package idea. Often people mix up their socks and cannot find the other pair. Mis-Match embraces this idea and encourages mis-matching socks as well as helps consumers organize their drawers. This is to better aid them in finding a certain pair of socks when they need it, serving as a functional package in the home. This design focuses on using playful illustrations and bright colours to attract a range of different consumers such as; children, people with a love of vintage design and socks enthusiasts.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION
Perfecting an Idea
The main issue with socks is finding the pair you want right away in a drawer filled with socks. To create a solution to this, Mis-Match allows users to use the inner box socks come in as an organizational tool in their drawers. The outer empty box can repurposed for anything from a pencil holder, planter, gift box or as decor!

DESIGN CHOICES
Making Striking Decisions
The look of Mis-Match came from an evolution of designs that were refined and worked to be a fun and playful look. The idea behind the illustrations was to creates somewhat impossible scenarios as an animal series. From a Dog flying, to a fish riding a bike, we want to spark kids imaginiations and entertain impossibly possible ideas. Type treatment and the overall look was to mimic the feel of a vintage matchbox. The playful illustrations and interesting look is sure to appeal to both a young and older audience.

There was a huge amount of trial and error to come to the final package design for Mis-Match.
I tried many different styles from a regular box, match box, hanging containers, wood, paper, card board and so on. Even with the final design, I went from minimal design to illustrative in the end. With all this test a trial, I was able to come to the best results.

FINAL PRODUCT
Finishing with a Bang
After much refinement with Mis-Match, the final look came out to be quite interesting and fun! I am very proud of the overall look and functionality of the final package design. The late nights working on perfecting the sock/matchbox idea was well worth to create such a unique design. I would be interested in expanding and further refining this project to have other "impossible" illustrations, as well as experimenting with different materials. The possiblilites are endless!
