Your Task:
Design a contemporary range of packaging for The Body Shop that unites their brand values with the premium nature of the products.
Overview
Background:
During her travels, Dame Anita Roddick, the brand founder, was exposed to the body rituals of women from all around the world, which filled her with ideas. While in Tahiti, Anita noticed how cocoa butter made the native women?s skin as soft as silk. It was her continued world travels and further discoveries of local natural ingredients being used for skin and hair care that inspired her to open the first shop in Brighton, UK in 1976. Her radical and forward thinking approach to the beauty industry set the scene for the unparalleled growth achieved by The Body Shop.
This element has carried through all The Body Shop?s communications to its customers, helping
to make the brand as much about the PR it generates as about the products it sells. From
confrontational posters to using delivery lorries for social messaging or even creating a ?real woman? doll that confronted stereotypes of beauty, The Body Shop has always challenged convention in building its brand, including its approach to marketing the product range which ultimately has kept the consumer returning for high quality, ethical beauty.

? Your re-design must also include the on-pack graphics for each of the products.
? The Body Shop is renowned for the quality of their products. In redesigning the packaging they would like to begin re-establishing the common connections between the five core values and the packaging of the products and how they appear in store. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

How can your blank canvas approach to the packaging help them to achieve a unified thought process in Target audience. Solutions to the brief should reach out to discerning female consumers of high quality beauty
products. The primary focus should be 18-35 year old women but the work must also appeal to a broader age range of 16-65. These are savvy shoppers. They buy into ethical and natural cosmetic and toiletries and support
The Body Shop?s brand values but they also have high expectations and won?t compromise on
