Before designing the hero packet of matches, research was conducted into retro matches packets and styling, as well as wording. The yellow colour theme was axed from the start, as it could have been identified as “Cook's Matches” from a glance. A carefully picked maroon/red was chosen, and printed onto a thinner vinyl paper, as opposed to my standard print on the durable matt vinyl, to give the realism of how a real packet would react when bent and creased, with numerous repeats for actors' handleability. Striker paper was carefully cut out and mounted with transparent glue to the sides to reduce any visible residue of glue, and for the actors to strike a match if needed.
