In the HOW In-House Design Awards, submissions are evaluated by business category to ensure that a broad range of web design Murfreesboro Tennessee work is represented. That means, for example, that in-house web design Murfreesboro Tennessee teams for universities are submitting work in the education category; creatives solving web design Murfreesboro Tennessee problems for museums and churches submit work in the nonprofit category; and Murfreesboro web designers conquering tight creative deadlines for consumer companies find a perfect fit for their work in the consumer category.
There’s been some great work in that consumer category in particular in recent years, so here we’re celebrating a handful of our favorite product branding projects that took home an In-House Design Award. Check them out below, and enter your own team’s work by the Early Bird deadline, May 5, to save money on your entry. All winners will see their work in print this Winter, and the Best of Show scores a free registration to HOW Design Live—plus a gorgeous trophy for your team.

CREATIVE TEAM Rory Overdorff, Hunter Clawson, Cary Marks, Kate Chouinard, Jen Vandermeer, Phillip Atencio, Kelly Nyland

DETAILS Each of the four PureCare Kids pillow boxes is designed to invite interaction with the brand and ignite imagination in the young users.

5. Woven French Linen Sheet Set
COMPANY/ORGANIZATION: Malouf, Logan, UT; www.maloufsleep.com
CREATIVE TEAM: Houston Trueblood, Emily Bunnell
DETAILS: The challenge with these sheets was developing a unique way to package the quality French Linens that would allow consumers to experience the exceptional finish while maintaining the standalone packaged look of Malouf products.

6. PurePop Package Design
COMPANY/ORGANIZATION: John Paul Mitchell Systems, Los Angeles
CREATIVE TEAM: Sharyn Belkin Locke, Monica Schlaug, Tara Ennis, Kaveri Nair, Rob Marchisi

The products—visible through clear packaging—come to life with the use of minimal web design Murfreesboro Tennessee and bold pops of color.
7. Fuzz Face Mini Packaging
COMPANY/ORGANIZATION: Dunlop Manufacturing Inc., Benicia, CA; www.jimdunlop.com

9. The Svale Collection
COMPANY/ORGANIZATION: Skagen Denmark, Richardson, Texas
CREATIVE TEAM: Dorothy Barnard, Patrick Conner, Tim Hale
DETAILS: The main objective was to develop a packaging system that compliments the jewelry web design Murfreesboro Tennessee collaboration between Camilla Staerk & Helena Christensen + Skagen.
