BOTTEGA LOUIE MACARON BOX CONCEPT DESIGNS

EASTER EDITION:  The first design is based off Easter and Spring which is aligned with the Bottega Louie brand.  Eggs symbolizing fertility are scattered across the box like a hunt in different sizes.  Bunnies and chicks are speckled across with confetti dots in complementary colors.  The tan color is going to be gold hot foil stamping.  A fresh green and cream ribbon are designed to match the smaller eggs and contrast against the pink box.




MACARON BALLOONS:  This design is thinking outside the box and suited for either Spring or Summer.  Since Bottega Louie is known for their Macarons, featuring them on the box in a unique way makes it more interesting.  If macarons were hot air balloons, they would be floating in my imagination all day.  A blue sky has clouds scattered with flat bottoms to convey a single orientation.  There is a sense of gravity as we watch the macarons drift downward.  The tan color is going to be gold hot foil stamping.  A pre-tied white ribbon is suggested to either match the clouds or pair with a yellow ribbon designed with the handwritten 'Louie' with the BL wreath in between acting like a coat of arms.

SPRING NYMPHS

Spring Nymphs is a personal conceptual piece that was inspired by the last trip to The Philippines and the house that I grew up in while visiting.  I shot a friend of mine twice to act as twins and took the season of Spring as a motif for this vision.  Below are the mood board, followed by unedited photos as taken before compositing each to fit the theme I had in mind.  This set was featured at AC Gallery in Hollywood 2019.
