-
Despite the title, ‘don’t panic’ was the essential message of the brief. The intent was to create a package that made the reader feel calm and relaxed. This is expressed in the soothing hue of the cover, the dreamy washes on the endpapers and the gentle, organic shapes throughout. The die-cut ‘button’ (a play on the title) plus the blind embossed texture provided a tactile quality that helped elevate the package to gift-buying status.
