This post is a little bit different... I don't tend to blog about upcoming collections from brands. I love reading what's coming up, but when a MAC collection is being released, my Bloglovin' feed is filled with the same thing - the promo shots. Being a designer, when I heard about the MAC X Marge Simpson line coming later this year, not only did the beauty addict in me get excited for what might be coming our way, but my design intuition kicked in. I instantly started imagining what I would do if I was working for MAC; what products would I release to represent Marge Simpson, and just as importantly, how I would package it.
MAC have been getting a lot more creative with their packaging lately. Their latest collection, Alluring Aquatic, was a gorgeous, metallic turquoise with realistic 3D water droplets . Although I don't own any of this collection, I was seriously in awe of the packaging and how MAC translated the theme of the collection through the selection.
I decided I would do a quick mock up sketch as to how I would package a MAC X Marge Simpson lipstick. I mentioned this on Twitter lately, and got some nice feedback. I went straight for the obvious; The Simpsons is a well known animation - we've all watched it and we've all grown up with it! The collection is a celebration of 25 years of The Simpsons! They're older than me! (When I was younger, I used to get an annual every Christmas detailing all the episodes!) I wanted to bring the animation across in the lipstick packaging, and created a simplistic, recognisable figure of Marge. I used the base of the lipstick as her green dress, the usual silver rim was replaced for Simpson skin yellow, and the removable cap is textured, bright blue Marge hair. I also slipped in a sneaky orange MAC logo to act as a little reference to her necklace!
I'm so excited for this collection, and I absolutely can't wait to see what they bring out! I'm definitely hoping to get my hands on some of it, even if it's just one piece! I hope you all liked my mock up!
What are your guesses for the MAC X Marge Simpson Collection?
