Five Point art supplies are art products that appeal to the 20 to 40 year old artist.

I wanted the design to be unique enough that no matter what isle in the store, when you see the elaborate design you automatically relate it to the great product you bought from Five Point previously, and therefore are inclined to buy more of the product.

The concept: Art is something that leads you through life and makes you look at it in a different perspective than anyone else. The ribbon represents a conceptual path and visual one, leading you from the logo to the name of the product. The illustration literally represents a variety of perspectives.

“The reusable X-ACTO packaging recognizes the user’s every need in terms of transport, storage, usage, and disposal. Additionally, the compartmentalized design ensures that all of your precision tools are safely and conveniently accessible.

Packaging looks as if it could have actually been cut out with an X-ACTO blade. The material is stacked B-fluted corrugated, die cut and printed using soy-based flexographic inks. The packaging is meant to be portable and reusable.”
