Wrapping Paper Research

When I think of wrapping paper I generally think about Christmas, I like this design because it really simple, they've used the same image all the way through and despite this the red really stands out and I think this makes it really eye catching. I think the colours used really fit in with the season its for.

This wrapping paper is just simple black and white but the detail makes it stand out. The design is by an illustrator called Rachael Clare Price. She's an illustrator and designer from the North East. Her work is inspired by fashion, music, nature and folklore.

Because my first idea for wrapping paper came from the 'Element of Surprise' project, a project that was based on animals and insects, I found this wrapping paper design which had a range of different animals all mixed in together. I found this design very childish and simple but eye catching. Personally, I want to stick to a more realistic style but will take into consideration how a vibrant and simplistic design can be effective.

This is a wrapping paper design made by Anne Wendlandt, also known as Enna. This folksy style is really big right now, especially the Russian dolls called Matryoshkas.
This design caught my eye because of the amount of detail thats been put it, the detail may be simple, but I found everytime I looked at the design I saw something new. Its effective because it's used multiple designs of dolls rather than the exact same doll. The colours aren't over the top and there actually quite calming and work well together.
