Introduction

This project was a part of fulfilment of my academic requirement as Studio 1, which is the first design project. I have made an attempt to promote city culture to the travellers through food as a medium. I have taken Delhi as a model city to start with and have come up with food packaging for the Delhi food festival. The idea behind the same was to guide the user about the history and importance of the food in an unconventional way.

Through the course of this document I will be highlighting my design process, research and analysis, design decisions that helped me completing the project and coming up with a solution in the form of product packaging.

Theme Selection

Towards the start of the module we were given two blanket themes, which were

Travel & Environment

On a lot of collective and individual brainstorming I arrived to the decision that I will be working on Travel as my broader theme.

Travel & Food

Travel and food are interlinked. Every traveller wants a good food experience and wants to explore the city to the fullest. He obviously has worries about what food will the city offer. This is where I started mapping down what’s a travellers mind while travelling.

Secondly I realized that every place has something special to offer with respect to the food, which depends on the cultural importance, availability and history of the place and the food. Also this is where the city wants to be portrayed as a place which offers healthy and hygienic food which in return would help the city to gain more tourists.

Page 11: Unconventional City Food Guide

09

Therefore there is a need to bridge the gap between the traveller and the city. And to clear his mind from the worries he has about the city food.

It was this need on which I based my project and came up with the project proposal.

What to eat?Where to eat?What is special/ important about the city food?What is the traditional food?

Why is this food special?History about it?What is the special food for a particular occasion?

What’s on the travellers

mind?

What the city wants to

share?

Proposal

IntroductionVisiting places and trying to explore them to the fullest is what every traveller intends to do while travelling. Almost every traveller on a trip has concerns about where and what to eat. With the diverse nature of our country, every region has its own cuisine and speciality food items because of which every time you reach a new city you go clueless about where will you get the best food that the city has to offer. Also in most of the cases you get to know about what you should have had only when you are back from the place. This is where the traveller feels the need of having a food guide or consulting some reliable source of information.

ContextBut does a food guide really help? If we talk about pre-planning, yes a food guide might be a good resource. But not everyone pre-plans. Also decision on where and what to eat are made quite on the spot. So why not break away from the conventional way of doing a food guide and provide the traveller information on the spot while he is already eating.

ObjectivesTo design a solution for providing a traveller relevant information about food /eating joints/ food facts/ speciality of the city /origin and history

Target AudienceThe target group for this would be any traveller belonging to the urban society. Age group- from 15 – 55Gender - possibly for all

Visiting places and trying to explore them to the fullest is what every traveller intends to do while travelling. Almost every traveller on a trip has concerns about where and what to eat. With the diverse nature of our country, every region has its own cuisine and specialty food items because of which every time you reach a new city you go clueless about where will you get the best food that the city has to offer. Also in most of the cases you get to know about what you should have had only when you are back from the place. This is where the traveller feels the need of having a food guide or con-sulting some reliable source of information.

But does a food guide really help? If we talk about preplanning, yes a food guide might be a good resource. But not everyone pre-plans. Also decision on where and what to eat are made quite on the spot. So why not break away from the conventional way of doing a food guide and provide the traveller information on the spot while he is already eating.

Contextual Study

The first thing that I did to begin my research was to conduct an environment scan of all the possible measures taken to guide a particular traveller travelling to any city. What are food guides?

A food guide is referred to a publication or interactive mediums which help a user/traveller to explore any place by providing the information related to the restaurants, food eateries and their prices and rating.

1. BooksIn the current market scenario a plenty of food guides are available i.e. The Times food guide, Kingfisher explocity, HT crystal award guide etc. These guides usually have an alphabetic list of all the restaurant spaces in and around the city belonging to all price ranges. These books also work on a paid advertisement and review system. A lot of them also offer a space for

promotion through print adds or discounts coupons to be added to the book.

The second kind of published guides are usually with a bloggers approach that is they talk about a person’s personal experience in the city.

3. Word of mouthNothing works better than the word of mouth promotion for food joints. Every traveller is influenced by someone else’s experience about food in a particular city.

4. Food promotional eventsA lot numbers of food promotional events take place around us on daily basis. These food events are good insight to the city food culture. They can be broadly classified in the following three categories:a. Events hosted by 5 star chains, usually to promote their food quality and get reviews featured in the newspapersb. Events hosted in order to promote a festival or occasionc. Events hosted by the city tourism boards in order to increase the tourism

Inferences

BooksWhy? • Helpful in pre-planning• Concise data in one place• Detailed review • Added value features like

coupons

Why not?• Are not helpful In providing real-

time information• Need to be purchased• Difficult filtration• Do not talk about importance and

cultural associations• Few are just about personal

experience

WebsiteWhy?• Helpful in pre-planning• Helpful in finding location• Easy access to user reviews• Easy filtrationWhy not?• Authenticity of the information is

in question• Do not tell about the cultural

values

Mobile AppsWhy?• Helpful in pre-planning as well as

in real time• Easy location finding• Easy filtrations

Why not?• Authenticity of the information is

in question• Do not tell about the cultural

values

Word of mouth Why?• Reliable information is given out• No costs involved

Why not?• Information is subjective• Limit reach

Page 23: Unconventional City Food Guide

21

Food Promotion EventsWhy?• Talk about food as a part of the

cultural• User interaction time is more as

compared to others• Regulated by some authority,

hence authentic

Why not?• Limited audience• Limited time

Food tourWhy?• High interaction with people • Covers a lot of food joints

Why not?• Highly preplanned/ booked• Involves a high budget

On analysing the above listed points I realized the working for a food promotion event would be best suited for my project as it lets the user to interact with information beyond just user review about food places. It gives a platform to share information about the cultural values.

Developing a brief

To design and develop an unconventional city food guide which will be regulated through the food promotion events by taking up one model city. This guide will not only talk about what and where to eat but also give out information about the importance of the food and its relevance with the city.

Which city to start from?

In order to narrow down to one city I preferred going ahead with DELHI

Why Delhi? Being the national capital Delhi has the maximum tourist footfall (international visitors). It also acts as the transit city for a lot of travellers within the country. Delhi is the political hub of India.Also since Delhi has a mixed culture food is one binding factor for delhites. It is said that the culture of Delhi is FOOD.

Delhi CultureDelhi is bounded by four states namely Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab that have a strong influence on the lifestyle of Delhi. Delhi is a cosmopolitan city where people are open to embracing new ideas and life style. People from all parts of the country live here. All major festivals of India are celebrated and the Unity in Diversity is evident in social and cultural gatherings. Be it Holi, Diwali, Id, Guru Purab, Buddha Purnima or Christmas, you will find the same vigor and bliss among people from different communities.

History of Delhi

Delhi is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial city of New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. Delhi has been the seat of power for several rulers and many empires for about a millennium. Many a times the city was built, destroyed and then rebuilt here. Interestingly, a number of Delhi’s rulers played a dual role, first as destroyers and then as creators.Delhi has been the political hub of India. Every political activity in the country traces its roots here. This was true even of the mythological era. The

Pandavas of the Mahabharata had their capital at Indraprastha, which is believed to have been geographically located in today’s Delhi.The history of the city is as old as the epic Mahabharata. The town was known as Indraprastha, where Pandavas used to live. In due course eight more cities came alive adjacent to Indraprastha: Lal Kot, Siri, Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad and Shahjahanabad.

Delhi has been a witness to the political turmoil for over five centuries. It was ruled by the Mughals in succession to Khiljis and Tughlaqs. In 1192 the legions of the Afghan warrior Muhammad of Ghori captured the Rajput town, and the Delhi

Page 29: Unconventional City Food Guide

27

Sultanate was established (1206). The invasion of Delhi by Timur in 1398 put an end to the sultanate; the Lodis, last of the Delhi sultans, gave way to Babur, who, after the battle of Panipat in 1526, founded the Mughal Empire. The early Mughal emperors favoured Agra as their capital, and Delhi became their permanent seat only after Shah Jahan built (1638) the walls of Old Delhi.

From Hindu Kings to Muslim Sultans, the reins of the city kept shifting from one ruler to another. The soils of the city smell of blood, sacrifices and love for the nation. The old ‘Havelis’ and edifices from the past stand silent but their silence also speaks volumes for their owners and people who lived here centuries back.

In the year 1803 AD, the city came under the British rule. In 1911, British shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi. It again became the centre of all the governing activities. But, the city has the reputation of over throwing the occupants of its throne. It included the British and the current political parties that have had the honour of leading free India.

After independence in 1947, New Delhi was officially declared as the Capital of India.

Dilli ka khaana

From the by lanes of the walled city to the swanky hotels and restaurants, Delhi has the taste of all. Delhi gives you the option of choosing from the wide variety of cuisines, which is a mixture of regional and international food.

Delhi loves its food which is a blend of North Indian, South Indian, Chinese, Continental and American lifestyle fast food. All these varieties are readily available in every parts of

Delhi. International chains such as Mcdonalds, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Pizza Express, Wimpy and TGIF have a good strong chain all over Delhi.

For gourmets, Delhi is synonymous with Mughlai and Frontier Cuisine. The best of Mughlai cuisine can be enjoyed at Karim, (both in Jama Masjid and Nizamuddin) where the recipes, dating from the times of the Mughals have been the closely guarded secrets of generations of chefs. There are many restaurants serving the same but are relatively expensive.

At the other end of the scale, there are the many popular roadside eateries around Jama Masjid and

Page 31: Unconventional City Food Guide

29

Nizamuddin where kababs, rotis and biryani are the order of the day.

Every five-star hotel in the city has a Chinese restaurant, while most markets in South Delhi have a medium-budget Chinese eateries. The popularity of this cuisine can be gauged by the innumerable Chinese food outlets of the “meals-on-wheels” and kiosk variety. The growing sophistication of the Delhite’s palate is discernable in the increasing number of speciality restaurants for an example Thai food at Baan Tahi (The Oberoi) and Sukothai ( Hauz Khas village), Japanese food at Tokyo (Ashoka Hotel) and Osaka (Haus Khas village), and Mexican food at Rodeo. South Indian food is another favorite, the vegetarian variety of which is best enjoyed at many moderate budget restaurants as well at the road side eateries.

Keeping pace with the changing face of the city are the growing number of fast food outlets, which serve all a large variety of cuisines. A delightful spot offering a range of Indian Cuisine are the food stalls at Dilli Haat. Here, the cuisine of different states in made available at very moderate rates. Set in the midst of a spacious craft bazaar these cafes are a very pleasant place to enjoy food. For the more intrepid, eateries such as those at Pranthe Wali Gali, or chaat at Bengali Market and Sunder Nagar, bhelpuri at Greater Kailash and sweetmeats from Annapoorna and Ghantewala can be part of the gastronomical tour of Delhi. Delhi is also synonymous with the omnipresent tandoori chicken and tandoori roti, which, when freshly prepared from the tandoor, makes a delicious meal. This is often available at roadside dhabas at a moderate cost.

Opportunity mapping

Street food - An opportunity Delhi has a rich heritage of delicious foods, popular eateries, and food stalls that seems to flock every street of the city. In fact it could be said that the culture of Delhi is the street food.

But unfortunately this street food has not been given its right position in the market. A plenty of people visit these eateries on daily basis but are totally unaware of the historic importance of the same. International as well as domestic tourist even plan food trips to Delhi.

Although now a lot of promotional activities are been conducted to help the street vendors get their right position but still a lot more awareness is needed.

This is where a need for some design intervention was felt.

Delhi Food Festivals

Food festivals in Delhi are conducted annually to promote some or the other cultural relevance the city holds. Delhi Tourism has made efforts to hold these events up with several vendors who have been specialists in street food and delicacies for over a century now. Stalls with traditional handicrafts are also be set up and artisans hold demonstrations on pottery and bangle-making. Mehdi artists, sketch makers and artists who specialise in rice engravings do also set up stalls. These food festivals are one big step to promote the Delhi street food.

“The traditional food of Delhi is inextricably linked to the intangible heritage of the city and in an effort to showcase this, the nine-day food festival will have some of the century-old outlets — mostly from Chandni Chowk — offering authentic street food and other delicacies unique to Delhi. On the occasion of Delhi’s centenary year, this festival will be a treat for tourists as well as Delhiites.”- GG Saxena. Managing Director, Delhi Tourism

“Street food is the very soul of the culture of Delhi and no celebration can be complete without the quintessential chaat, kulfi, biryani, kebabs sold in the labyrinth of Old Delhi. In an effort to showcase this aspect of Delhi, we have brought the culinary delights of the age-old shops of Purani Dilli out into the open for everyone to enjoy,” said a spokesperson of Delhi Tourism.

The National Association of Street Vendors of India

The objective of the association is to bring together street vendor organizations of India so as to collectively struggle for macro-level changes, which had become imminent to support the livelihood of millions of street vendors.

The purpose is to build a strong grass-root movement of street vendors of India.

Also along with all this the main aim is to Collect and make available information about good practices,

initiatives, policies and laws, methods of struggle, court judgments etc related to street vending and street vendors. It must be mentioned that when NASVI was formed there was limited information about street vendor organizations in India. NASVI began by gathering information about these organizations through different ways ranging from media reports, writing to other organizations and to making visits crisis crossing the country to get in touch with these organizations.

Arvind Singh, Coordinator of National Association of Street Vendors of India

“The main concept of this festival is to show that if street vendors are regulated and are given proper places to run their business from, then they can give you delicious and hygienic food at very cheap rates. This festival will try to break the negative image of street vendors, who have been slowly fading away. It will also bring to fore the traditional cuisines that have been disappearing.”

The userThe first step while starting to design for the event was to identify the user. The Delhi food festival has broadly three categories of users,1. Local residents of Delhi2. Tourists from different cities within the country3. International tourists

On analysing further I realised that my core audience lies in the Tourists from different cities as they are the ones who would bring back more gain to the city tourism with the following years and more such events that will happen.

The local residents may be gain to the vendors post the event directly but might not need a details city cultural and heritage guidance.

And as far as the international tourist are concerned, the Delhi food festival would just serve as a small part of their experience while they travel to India.

How to feed people more than just food?

Feeding food facts

Page 43: Unconventional City Food Guide

41

What information should we feed?

In order to understand what information should be given out it was important to understand the users. Therefore I conducted a survey on a small set of people to understand what they feel about street food.

Survey a) On your outings where do you prefer to eat usually•Multi-chainrestaurants•Streetfood•Finedinerestaurants

b) How important is the hygiene factor when it comes to outdoor food (rate on a scale form 1-5, where 5 is very important and 1 is least important)

c) How many times do you prefer eating street food?•Veryoften(4-5inaweekor more)•Often(2-3timesinaweek)•Rarely•Never

d) What concerns do you have while eating street food? If any

e) If the street food is branded and given a proper place to function would you appreciate it?

f) What do you think Street food vendor lack in?

When to feed information to people?

After having clear thoughts on what the user concerns are and what are the barriers between the user and the street food I now had to understand when can I give the information out to the people. I order to do the same I studies about all the possible ways of information distribution.

Page 47: Unconventional City Food Guide

45

Posters Brochures/Information booklet

Invites Interactive media

Packaging

Subjective to the users interaction with them.

Benefits of packaging as the medium

Any user who comes to the event is likely to eat/taste the food around. For which he will definitely be interacting with the packaging or the food box/plate that is serve to him. Therefore I would be the best time to provide him some interesting information about the heritage and value of these street food vendors.

Hence packaging was selected as the medium.

Page 48: Unconventional City Food Guide

46

User interaction with packaging

Sight Serving pattern

The interaction by sight is the first stage of interaction between the consumer and the package. Sight could have served as a very important area to attract people by how the package could be stacked or kept. But I here was catering to the street food vendors who would be freshly preparing the food for the consumer at the spot. The method of food preparation is considered to an art and there have been evidences that people enjoy to watch the chef preparing the food. Based on this fact I decided to not concentrate much on this level.

Serving pattern vary from product to product. In my case were I was concentrating on Aloo Chat and Kathi Kebab rolls. I had two distinct ways of serving.For Aloo chat It was a bowl with a toothpick whereas for the Kathi Kebab Roll I had a wrap package. Any design intervention here would be different for each package, but it was taken for granted that this stage will act as the point of attraction for the consumer to read on/know more about it.

Page 49: Unconventional City Food Guide

47

Disposal Consumption

Consumption, soon I realised that it was this stage which would act as the most important stage for me to narrate the story, or pass on information, that I wanted too.It was also observed that this is the stage where people spend most of the interaction time with the package, moreover they are relaxed and ready to explore.

One very important consideration was the disposal stage. The decision of what has to be taken back and what has to be disposed without raising any ethical issues was to be decided here.

The next question hence was, What is that people will want to retrieve later?

Page 50: Unconventional City Food Guide

48

What can be disposed

After a lot of questioning and interaction with the target audience I arrived to the decision on what can be disposed off and what can be persevered. I also had to strike a balance between what the people want to know and what the vendors wants to share.

What the people want to know?

- Importance of the food- Hygiene Concerns- Vendor Details- History and origin

What the vendor wants to share?

- Hygiene concerns- Vendor details- Importance of the food- History and origin

Page 51: Unconventional City Food Guide

49

Redefining the brief

On the synthesis and analysis of all the information collection and research done, I finally arrived to a point where I could redefine by brief.

The objective now, was to design and develop with a packaging for 1. Aloo Chaat2. Kathi Kebab rollsWherein the package talks about the story of the street vendor.

The package also has to have a not to be disposed(to be taken back with the consumer) element. The package should contain details about the origin/history of the vendor or the food product. The contact details need to be given out.

Idea Generation

Idea 1

Reflective Delhi

Idea 2

Gully Talks

Delhi as we know has no culture of its own and everything we see here is borrowed or brought by some region or the other. I felt it would be a nice idea to showcase Delhi as a place which has been reflecting everything that falls on it. The idea was to show the physical environment of the city in white, relating it to the fact that white is perceived when all colors are reflected.The people, the defining elements for any culture, however would be shown colourfully.

The second idea was to capture the essences of the Delhi streets, the “Gullies’, as called in Hindi. This idea revolved around the streets talking and bringing out/highlighting what is so special about the food that is serve there.

Page 55: Unconventional City Food Guide

53

Idea 3

Fold-unfold-fold

The third idea was to make people interact with the city in a way that they visually feel they can fold the city like a paper and take it back them.

This idea emerged from the way people interact with a city map, the whole city is folded and kept in the pocket.

On analysing all three ideas I arrived to the decision that the third idea will we more suitable for the event.

Fold-Unfold- FoldThe visual language could be defining the ways paper folding works, that is with cut and fold lines, so as to create a sense of folding the city and taking it back with one.

Page 56: Unconventional City Food Guide

54

Setting up the visual language

City Built environment Character building

In order to visually depict my concept I tried taking the element of paper folding instructions to my composition. The first idea was to draw out the city built environment and characters for Delhi out of cut and fold lines as shown in origami drawings. These dotted lines would evoke the sense of folding and taking the city back with yourself.

City build environment here was one of the defining characters of the visuals to be created.I choose a set of monuments, buildings, and infrastructure features that could define Delhi, as people would associate the city with them.The Idea now was to depict them in the way origami instructions are drawn.

The second important thing was to build characters people could associate culturally too. As said earlier Delhi is a multi- cultural city and has influences from all across India, I felt depicting cultures through characters would be a nice solution.

Composition

Taking a step back

After reaching the stage of creating a theme composition, It was soon that I realised that the cut and fold lines have some problems with respect to comprehensibility. Therefore the idea here was dropped.

Folding real paper Why not!

Design Approach 2

This time I thought that maybe by taking the real paper as my medium will be more apt for the feeling I wanted to evoke in people.Hence I started exploring with real paper cut outs.

Typography

The decision of what type to use was a difficult one. The first idea was to use type made by paper folding.On exploring the same I realised that it was suitable for maybe the titles but the body copy with paper folding would have been a really complex form to be read. Therefor in order to maintain the readability and legibility I restricted my self to using existing typefaces which would fit well with the theme.

Also before the hunt for the right typeface began, I wrote down the characteristic of the type that I wanted. They were 1. Festive2. Traditional3. Indian Looking4. Having sense of the city, that is, the structural aspect.

Colour Palette

Deciding on the colour was again a challenging area to work on.Since I was working on food, I first created a palette inspired by the colours of the vegetables and fruits.But what was missing was the element of festivity, therefore the new palette was created keeping in mind the following things.

1. Festivity The colour Pink, purple, yellow and orange were added to the palette as the colors to introduce the spirit of festivity.2. FoodThe colour green was added to have freshness to the theme.3. TemptationThe colour Red was added to the palette to create temptation and hunger.

Theme Poster

In order to get started with setting up the theme I needed to create a composition which would act as a mood board.I approached the theme poster as being a combination of the city landscape and the varied characters created.

The idea was to come up with a combination where it feels that the characters are announcing the festival. All these characters have there speciality food depicted in the poster itself, so as to make the audience aware of the different kinds of cuisine present are the event.

Also basic information about the event was to be added on the posters.

Page 77: Unconventional City Food Guide

75

Exploration 1 The first attempt of creating the poster got me here. I tried making everything look like paper crafts.

What was missing?On reevaluating what I made, I realised that the elements of festivity were missing. Everything looked in placed but there was no elements to evoke the feeling of a festival or celebration.

Page 78: Unconventional City Food Guide

76

Exploration 2This exploration was a refinement of the previous one where I realised that the element of festivity was missing.Therefore this was aimed at adding that celebration feel to the posters.

Also in addition to the festive feel I added a few paper folded strips, to denote the aroma of the food and also to add continuity to theme.

What was missing?

Though almost everything was achieved here. I felt that the temptations were missing and being an theme posters for a food festival it was very important for me to introduce the aspect of temptations.

Page 79: Unconventional City Food Guide

77

The final poster

In order to fill in the missing temptations I tried introducing real food imagery to the poster. Also the aroma lines (paper folds) were made to look soft.

Page 80: Unconventional City Food Guide

78

Theme Invite

In order to take the theme forward, that is fold unfold and fold, I tried to design an invite for the event that would follow the theme.

After a lot of explorations of how the form would look like I froze on the fold shown on the right, which was a one slit folded A4 paper that gives the options of having a 4 page/8 page layout.

I restricted myself to using the 4 folds as one page each where every page acted as an information about the event by each character in their native style.

Side 1The Mughal sultanate character announces the name on the event, that is Dilli ke pakwan, The Street Food Festival Of Delhi.

Side 2The Punjabi Character gives out the dates and the time of the event.

Side 3 The U.P. character talks about the venue of the event.

Side 4The South Indian character gives information about the activities that will be happening at the event.

Understanding packaging design

Page 89: Unconventional City Food Guide

87

Packaging design is inexplicably linked to every aspect of the emerging cultures of humankind from developments in technology, materials, and production to the conditions of evolving consumer societies. Packaging design serves to protect, store and transport goods and is the means by which the marketing strategy for a consumer brand is visually communicated.

Packaging design employs a comprehensive design methodology in order to solve complex brand marketing problems. Packaging designers are the design professionals that understand how to connect form and structure, materials, colour, imagery, typography and ancillary design elements with

product information to create a marketable design for a consumer product. Not only does a packaging design perform diverse functional roles, the design serves to legally represent the product and its purpose; and visually identify and distinguish a product and brand within the market place. The many objectives along with the goals of standing out among competitors, avoiding consumer confusion, and influencing the consumer in a purchasing decision make packaging design the critical factor in the success of a company’s integrated brand marketing plan.

Page 90: Unconventional City Food Guide

Food packaging is packaging for food. It requires protection, tampering resistance, and special physical, chemical, or biological needs. It also shows the product that is labelled to show any nutrition information on the food being consumed.Physical protection - The food enclosed in the package may require protection from, among other things, shock, vibration, compression, temperature, etc.Barrier protection - A barrier from oxygen, water vapour, dust, etc., is often required. Permeation is a critical factor in design. Some packages contain desiccants or Oxygen absorbers to help extend shelf life. Modified atmospheres or controlled atmospheres are also maintained in some food packages. Keeping the contents clean, fresh, and safe for

the intended shelf life is a primary function.Containment or agglomeration - Small items are typically grouped together in one package for reasons of efficiency. Powders, and granular materials need containment.Information transmission - Packages and labels communicate how to use, transport, recycle, or dispose of the package or product. Some types of information are required by governments.Marketing - The packaging and labels can be used by marketers to encourage potential buyers to purchase the product. Package design has been an important and constantly evolving phenomenon for several decades. Marketing communications and graphic design are applied to the surface of the

Food Packaging Concerns

89

package and (in many cases) the point of sale display.Security - Packaging can play an important role in reducing the security risks of shipment. Packages can be made with improved tamper resistance to deter tampering and also can have tamper-evident features to help indicate tampering. Packages can be engineered to help reduce the risks of package pilferage: Some package constructions are more resistant to pilferage and some have pilfer indicating seals. Packages may include authentication seals to help indicate that the package and contents are not counterfeit. Packages also can include anti-theft devices, such as dye-packs, RFID tags, or electronic article surveillance tags, that can be activated or detected by devices at exit points and require

specialized tools to deactivate. Using packaging in this way is a means of retail loss prevention.Convenience - Packages can have features which add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale, opening, reclosing, use, and reuse.Portion control - Single serving packaging has a precise amount of contents to control usage. Bulk commodities (such as salt) can be divided into packages that are a more suitable size for individual households. It also aids the control of inventory: selling sealed one-liter-bottles of milk, rather than having people bring their own bottles to fill themselves.

Form Generation- Aloo chat

Form 1

Form 2

Form 3

Form 1This form was inspired by the bar be que. It could be used to serve as a tray with a lot of sides available for story telling.The only disadvantage that the form had is the complexity of folds.

Form 2This form is the easiest to make, and uses the lest amount material. It is inspired by the form of the cooking dish itself. The only disadvantage is it requires pasting.

Form 3This form gives an interesting shape to the bowl with a lot of space availability to place the graphic on but the material/paper consumption is 3 times as compared to the form 2.

Page 93: Unconventional City Food Guide

91

Form 4

Form 5

Form 6

Form 4This form again gives an interesting structure to play with, but requires pasting.The advantage with this form but is the paper consumption amount.

Form 5A very simple to make form with quite less material consumption.It is easy to stack and unfold. Though it gives a lot of space for graphic placement its still very basic.

Form 6On refining form 2, I came up with this form, that I thought would suit my requirements the best. I refined it such that no pasting was required and also by increasing a little of the paper consumption I could add contact details which could be given out as a card.

Once the template was ready the challenge was to understand how the sizes will work ergonomically and as for production.

Adding Graphic DetailsOn the final form I tried sketching the graphic details. The challenge here was to make the strips, on which the text will appear, meet so as to keep continuity on.

Kathi kebab rolls

Form 1This form is a very basic form made to keep a wrap or roll straight and vertical while eating.

Form 1

Form 2 Form 2This form was created by having additions to the pervious basic form. The idea was to have a strip which will help the user pull out the roll and also would act as the information providing strip or fold out.

Interesting graphics could be generated using this form and cut out on the package.

Page 97: Unconventional City Food Guide

95

Form 3

Form 4

Form 3This form was made in order to add a contact card to the package. The contact was placed at the side top of the package so as to be the first information to be given out to the user. Three sections were created by having perforations on the pack, which will also help the user to eat and dispose easily.

Form 4Again in order to give out the contact information first, I tired making a card like form on the top. The card will have perforations at the bottom so that it could be pulled out and kept as a contact card with the users.

Adding narrative

The next big step after the theme was set was to add the narrative to the form.The core idea of the project was to educated people about the city culture through this package hence it was very important to come up with a narrative which will solve the purpose and also engage to user to read the story completely.

Mapping down information

In order to come up with the narrative the first step was to list down what all information has to given out. Post that I evaluated the sequence of the information.

The next step was to make it interesting to read, therefore I tried to create text, which was the vendor narrating his story. Starting with the history, origin to the value and venue of his food stall, the vendors talks in his native style.

Page 101: Unconventional City Food Guide

99

Devnagari vs. Latin

The next big debate was the use of Devnagari or Latin script of giving this information out.

I started with Devnagari, as the text was in Hindi, mostly, but it was soon that I realised, after a set of user feedback, that the consumer group I was catering to does not necessarily can read Devnagari.

The next solution was to write in English, but it made me lose out on the flavour of the native language style that each character was to put in.

Finally, I froze on the use of Hindi as the language but as the written in Latin script, though the major information was given on in English, or was highlighted in such a way that the audience can understand easily.

Also for the packages a translation was given in English too.

Other Suggestions

Page 111: Unconventional City Food Guide

109

In addition to the two food packs made for the project I also had a few ideas that I thought could be added as suggestions as this level. One of them was to use toothpick or straws to display characters. On the right and bottom are examples of how these would look.

These are made so that it appears that each character is holding a placard of the title of the event, which may even be given out as a contact card too.

Page 112: Unconventional City Food Guide

110

Material Research

In order to select the final material to be used I underwent a research to understand all the kinds of papers used for packaging food.The main concern was to have a paper which is suitable for packaging food, i.e is a food grain paper.Here are a few materials I came across.

Asphalt Paper- is used to wrap and protect goods that are at risk of corrosion. It is made of a mixture of flammable hydrocarbons sandwiched between two layers of paper. It is generally used in conjunction with another type of wrapping to ensure products are safe from water leakage and water vapour.

Wet Strength Paper- is a treated paper that is water and water vapour resistant. It is generally treated by impregnation, coating or lamination. Wet strength paper is often used in cartons to protect goods against moisture during transit. It is also used in other packing materials such as sacks or bags.

Kraft Paper- is used to wrap products for packaging and in the manufacturing of paper shopping bags. It is an unbleached product that is made using wood pulp. Kraft paper is popular due to its strength. It comes in a variety of sizes and coated options, including waxed, poly coated and reinforced.

Tissue Paper- is a lightweight, semi-transparent paper used to wrap products as part of the packaging process. Its use is more decorative than protective. It is available in different grades and weights, and is generally lint-free. Tissue paper is made from non-woody fibres that are mixed with wood pulp during the manufacturing process. It is sold in thin sheets of differing sizes and colors.

Cartridge Paper - is used for general drawing. It is often good quality and generally 100 to 135g in thickness. This paper is used for design and technology projects and will take colour from pencils and felt pens without too much leaking to the opposite side of the paper.

Page 113: Unconventional City Food Guide

111

Parchment PaperParchment paper is water resistant and greaseproof. It is used to wrap and protect products that are oily or that may leak. It is also used to wrap products that are sensitive to grease leakage.

Cardboard - is thicker than paper as it is made up of a number of layers, glue or laminated together. The diagram opposite shows a net / development of a package. It can be folded to produce a carton.

Corrugated Board - This type of board is often used for packaging large electrical items. These large boxes (often brown in colour) protect the contents from damage. Corrugated board is strong because it is composed of a top and bottom layer and in between there is a triangulated section.

Foil Lined Board - is good quality cardboard with a aluminium foil lining. This type of container is ideal for ready made meals or take away meals. The foil retains the heat and helps keep the food warm.

The Final Material used was a cardboard sheet, of 200-250gsm (depending on the weight of the food to be packed). Coating and waxing was planned to be done on both sides to make it oil/grease proof, to the maximum extend.

Also It was planned that the printing will be done on just one side of the paper.

Costing

Punching and pasting costOn a number of thousand pieces the cost would be 500/-INR

Total cost break up

Total quantity - 20000 per ProductMaterial Cost - 3.125/- INRPrint Cost - 1.33/- INRWaxing and coating - .5/- INRDie- .1/- INRPasting and punching - .05/- INRTotal cost per sample- 5.1/- INR

Total cost per product - 102100/- INR

In order to full fill the production process I had to calculate the cost per product. In order to do that I went on and calculated the cost of each material and process to be used.The costs are as follows

Material Cost (Art card paper)1 sheet of Size 36*24 = 25/- INRSince we can get 8 products made using one sheet therefore one card will cost 3.125/- INR

Print Cost4000 prints costs 3000/-INR, i.e. The rate of the plate for offset printingTherefore 1 unit (A4) will cost 1.33/- INR

Waxing and coating costThe rough estimate for the wax and coating was 50 paise per unit.

Die making costOne die would cost 1000/- INR but taking the life of the die into account and the number of pieces to be made I would have required two dies per category. Therefore Die cost would be 2000/- INR

Learning

This project helped me learn

• Developing a understanding of the subject.

• Conducting a research, survey and analysing and synthesizing the same.

• Exploring forms and the use of graphics on them

• Understanding packaging design as systems project.

• Knowing how to design a cost-effective solution

• Understanding production processes and designing as per them

This project most importantly taught me how to choose an unconventional way of approaching a problem and finding a solution for them same.
