development

I've done a more developed mock up for a cv:

I wanted it to be less fiddly and easily tearable, so I made it with bigger elements that just fold out rather than multiple layers. I still think it might be too convoluted so I need to refine it more and come up with a clear concept/theme for the pack.

We had a talk with John and he said to only make things for the pack if you have a reason for them, or if they are relevant to you in some way. So I might re-think the matchbox idea; I don't really have any reason for making it other than it would look nice. I think the plant pot is still a good idea though as I want it to represent my interest and inspiration I get from nature and botanical drawings. 

He also suggested that the pack have some sort of running narrative through it, so it's not just random designs, I want to come up with some sort of story to go on the outside of my box and plant pot. Another good bit of advice was to seal the box with a sticker, so that the person it is sent to can then know they are the first one to open the box - it becomes more engaging and personal if they think it is exclusive to them.
