Planet Facts.

I've been trawling the internet for facts about the planets and the solar system, and ive stumbled across this site: http://space-facts.com/planets/

Seems to be pretty good and all the information is cohesive. Ill have to fact check it all before using it, but its a good start

New look!

OKAY! So ive decided upon a new, sexier look for my design. Here is a first draft of M is for The Milky Way. I've got animation plans and junk, and Im going to start doing some research on planets..!

S is for Space (First concept)

Plan of action!

THE PLAN! I'm going to make 3 different designs, and make them so that when either the AR or QR code is scanned, animation shall commence, giving more information on the specific letter..!

Because I want them to look into one another, to give the child much more of an incentive to collect them, I'll stick to A, B and C. I'm going to do some research into what they could be, then put up some concept design and animatics.

• simple
• hand drawn aesthetic
• games and activities 

Ideas

So I've had an idea. I've done some research, and what BEAR currently has is a well designed information sheet that pops off the back of the box so that kids can collect. I need a way to make that more exciting for kids, so that there is more of an insensitive to collect, and buy the cereal. So I intend to either use a RF codes, or AR scanners to allow the user to use their phone or tablet, to make the cereal box back come to life! I could add a things that if you get them all and scan them all you get a secret cartoon? Its all brain storming at the moment. I need to go out and buy a box to see what fun I can have with it.

The Brief

OKAY! Not a great selection this year with the YCN student award briefs, so I've decided to go with the most fun sounding of the lot.. BEAR! They want a new look of their alphabet series on the back of cereal boxes.

"In the Project Pack you'll find some examples of our current eight pack backs, along with the their dimensions. We'd like you to produce new back of pack designs in line with the information above. You can produce as many designs as you see fit to demonstrate your thinking."

• It’d be really bold, brave, gruff, simple and fun.

• It would be iconic.

• It would really make the alphabet letter the hero on pack.

• It would be really educational or crafty in a non-scholarly way and fun for kids, helping them to learn without realising that they were doing so.

• It won’t talk down to kids and ideally would thrill and entertain adults too.

• It would be enjoyed more for more than one breakfast sitting- kids spend a lot of time reading the back of boxes over the course of a week, how can we keep them entertained?

• It would mark us out as being a brand that really loves its consumers.
