THE PLANT BASE COLLECTIVE PACKAGING
Matthew Dix
LOGO DESIGN BY THE VERY TALENTED AMY THOMSOM
Conceived as a designer relay, the project travelled through three distinct creative phases — concept foundations, structural and mockup development, and illustrative artistry. Each stage built upon the last, refining detail and elevating purpose.
The Plant Base redefines the meaning of collaboration in packaging design.
The outcome is a layered narrative of process and passion — a visual identity that speaks to honesty, nourishment, and craft.

The Plant Base is a project that celebrates the creative relay behind beautiful, functional design.
It began with the foundation — the idea, tone, and essential ingredients shaped by Amy Thomson. I stepped in to translate that groundwork into packaging, including structural layouts, dielines, and digital mockups, which brought the concept closer to reality.
Finally, illustrator Jade Klara infused the project with warmth and personality, completing the cycle with expressive hand-drawn illustrations. This beautifully prepared and styled project was completed behind the camera with love from Frances.
Together, these stages capture what design is truly about: passing the baton, refining the craft, and transforming an idea into something nourishing.
