Final Designs for the Hand Soap Label and Poster

Soap Label Design Final DraftSoap Poster Print Design Final Draft

When coming up with the design for my soap label, I researched other brand and their designs to see what conventions they used on their labels. I did this so that I could make a label that would be easy to read for someone who buys soap due to the familiarity of the design to other designs. Doing this I came to the conclusion to use a rounded edge square for the label, filling the space with the required information and some graphics relevant to soap and washing hands. I used a clean water graphic and a graphic of the ingredient being used in the soap, Aloe Vera, which is an appealing smelling soap for our target audience who are between 30-60 years old. I added a small bar at the bottom that has some more information about the soap while also capping off the label which makes it more visually appealing. I composed my palettes of Green, Blue and White, which most soap labels used due to their connection to water and cleansing herbs. I decided to make the soap an easy pump, as the target audience was comprised of older people who might prefer a soap that’s easy to use, as someone with frail hands or arthritis would find it hard to use a bar soap.

When designing the poster I wanted to keep the design similar to the soap so it was easy to make a relation between the two when looking for it in stores. I used similar graphics that were in the soap label design as well as a picture of the soap bottle itself so a customer would be able to easily find the soap, having previously seen it on the poster. I filled the bottom of the poster with plants to draw attention upwards and make it more visually appealing by bordering the lower edges.
