Mr Dunn’s Class Update T2 W2

Year 7-9 students explored hamburger package design by working directly on real hamburger boxes. They learned how packaging is not just a container, but an important part of a brand’s identity and visual communication.

Students designed their own burger brand, creating a logo, brand name, and brand slogan. They then applied these designs onto the surface of the hamburger box, carefully considering layout, colour, and imagery.

A key focus of the project was typography. Students experimented with different lettering styles to express the mood and personality of their brand, inspired by examples of contemporary typographic design. They learned how letter shape, size, and spacing can change the message and feeling of a design.

This hands-on project helped students understand the relationship between graphic design, branding, and typography, while encouraging creativity, originality, and problem-solving skills.
