Bonsai care package Brief

In the next few posts I will be elaborating on the briefs I have chosen to work on and why. With these briefs I aim to pinpoint where my strengths lie and use them to their full potential. So here is the first, I am doing the brief list in no particular order of preferance or anything else. Before I talk about the briefs I want to talk about the skills I want to use and what I want to persue throughout third year.

Brief Title - Bonsai Care Pack

Context

The art of Bonsai is an ancient horticultural Art form. Bonsai tree literally translates into tree in a pot, but in order to successfully grow a bonsai tree into a valuable and beautiful miniature tree is much more challenging than this alone. There is a complex and specific way to do this, you need to design an all in one care guide that informs people interested in growing/ have begun growing a bonsai tree, and provide for them the means to do so.

Brief

Design an informative pack or guide specifically the horticultural art of bonsai in response to information gathered about Bonsai Care.

This project should be completed with a body of research and supporting work which shows your line of inquiry into the subject.

Considerations                                                          Deliverables

What tools and equipment is needed                          1 Bonsai Care pack/ care kit and a body

to care for a Bonsai tree?                                           and a body of supporting research and

                                                                                 work.

What format could the guide take?

e.g. Motion graphic, packaging etc.

Who are the target audience and

What is the tone of voice?

With this brief I have pinpointed a problem within Bonsai growing, which is that you cant find a pack like this anywhere, and if there is a pack like this, it is not easy to find! I think this will make for an interesting packaging/ publication project.
