Design for Change Series 2 – Color Me Up

During the last few months we have all seen a host of changes in both our professional and personal lives — some for good, others less positive. This unique situation has forced many of us to re-appraise our approach to work and indeed our priorities more broadly.

Part 2 in the series looks to shake up the sea of sameness packaging design in the home hair colouring aisle.
