First Pass
I favored sketch 3 because I felt it encapsulated the feeling of nostalgia the article had. However I was afraid that was going to be unclear. Luckily, I was told it was clear and sketch 3 was favored because of the relatability. For the final, I used earthy colors to create the feel of nostalgia and relatability. One feedback I received was to move the box up more and to crop the top to the focus is all on the contents in the box. I did so and I added a worn out label to show the passing of time.
Final + Mockup
The feedback I received were small detail changes. One was to choose a different color for one of the books because it was the same color. Another was to change the button position so it's more clear and to consider having the button a different color. I made changed based on the criticisms and even added details to the toothbrush to make a clear connection to the tooth tunes.
