Metal Magazine / Packaging Considerations

I considered and explored different ideas around the packaging of the magazine for when it is delivered to users online. 



The first idea I explored was spray painted bags. The idea behind this was to communicate the same format as the front cover of the magazine. I spray painted two bags using regular black spray paint, and surprisingly this worked fine. Problems I encountered were that once the paint dries, in the areas where it is thickest, it chipped off when bending. This means this wouldn't be suitable for deliveries and shipping due to being handled. 

Another element to this idea was adding the vinyl logo to bring out some colour. Although striking, I don't think this communicates the right tone for what I was trying to achieve. The magazine is a high end, stripped bag metal magazine, and this vinyl paired with the spray paint looks too much and may put people off. 






The second idea was a much simpler one, plain plastic sealable bags, with stickers. This looks much more professional and the glossy bag correlates with the glossy cover, resulting in an overall high quality feel, with the sticker giving the magazine a more credible effect. The stickers come in white and black, and are used to further seal the bags for shipping.
