The Existing brief


Creative Challenge

Make Batiste a must-have product for every beauty toolkit, appealing to new customers and engaging with existing ones.
Build the Batiste brand by creating four new graphic identities and fragrances. They should fit in with the current range but have stand out shelf appeal. Demonstrate this across a number
of practical applications, including packaging, website and point of sale.
Batiste are fashion-led, utilising trends to ensure that they have significant shelf appeal and strong brand loyalty. How can the graphic identity work harder to sell the varieties of Batiste in an instant, whilst also clearly demonstrating the full potential of the product?

Considerations
• Consider every element of the identity: colour palette, font, fragrance, graphic devices, placement of text and a distinctive style of art direction.
• Look at brand language. This includes short statements or descriptions that are intrinsic to the identity of the product and collection. Do the current messages best educate and inform consumers at point of purchase? How could they work harder?
• Work within the parameters of the existing structural packaging. The design needs to work across the full range of bottle sizes.

Target Audience
Outgoing, active, on the go and fashionable women aged 16-44: women who are short on time, but care about their appearance.

Mandatory Requirements
Produce four graphic identities, including packaging, website, and point of sale designs.
The packaging graphics must work across all three existing bottle sizes:
• 50ml (h. 120mm, dia. 35mm) • 200ml (h. 216mm, dia. 45mm) • 400ml (h. 270mm, dia. 52mm)
You’ll find the print area for each bottle size in the templates included in the online brief pack.
