The Weasley Shop


As someone who loves both shopping and fantasy movies, I would love to be able to just give myself some Floo Dust and head over to Diagon Alley. But seeing as how I am a muggle, I will have to settle for viewing the magical products featured in the Weasley's Shop on this design blog. http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2009/august1/magical-packaging-for-harry-potter-film Artist Nicholas Saunders created many of the packaging designs featured in the shop.



I think Nicholas Saunders got it right considering the designs are precisely what I would expect the twins to ask a designer for. The look is rather reminiscent of old circus posters. They share the similar design aspects such as spacial relationships, rustic faded values, type faces and colors. Although Saunders' designs are brighter in color. It appears that the vintage theme as discussed in previous blogs is being utilized here again.
