..................................................................................................................................
1) Anagrama | Toscatti
Strengths: Colour, its different and that is what people tend to like these days.
Weaknesses: Not immediately obvious its packaging for food.
Opportunity: Could inspire people to use this sort of packaging but for a different product.
Threat: The fact it isn't obvious its food could turn people off completely; you don't get an idea of what the food is because you can't see through the packaging.
2) Graduation paper bag
Strengths: Shape, this is not you obvious brown paper bag, the shape makes what may be inside much more interesting. People in the street carrying this will most probably gain attention from passes by.
Weaknesses: You can't tell what it is that is being sold. Visually this packaging is very interesting, but what are we actually looking at?
Opportunity: Could defiantly take this further and change the face of the ordinary brown paper bag.
Threat: Its a brown paper bag, do we actually need to go and change such a simple piece of packaging?
3) M Tuffoli
Weaknesses: Nothing really going on in terms of illustration and colour
Opportunity: Very conventional shape, this could be used around a huge range of different products.
Threat: It looks like you don't get a very large amount of pasta in this packaging. We don't want the quantity of food to go down and the design to look more modern.
4) Filthy Media
Strengths: Sharp, clear. Stock looks flexible to easy to roll up, store.
Weaknesses: Black and white magazine, having no colour could de-value the zine.
Opportunity: -
Threat: Black and white not something everyone can enjoy, gives a nostalgic feel which is not something you want for a modern magazine.
5) Allan Peters
Weaknesses: Letterpress is valable, beer matts could get damaged by use.
Opportunity: Not your everyday beer matt, these could make a pub or restaurant have a modern and attractive feel. Maybe not ketter press then but keep the style
Threat: Again, letter press is not cheap. Could end up spending a lot of money producing these matts.
6) LG2 Boutique
Weaknesses: Not sure what type of chocolate is inside.
Opportunity: Different, attention will arise because of it is different.
Threat: Quantity, this does not look like a chocolate bar that is easy to product at industriel standards.
7) Galya Akhmetzyanova
Weaknesses: Probably very expensive compared to your usual standard larger, this probably wouldn't sell at a huge rate.
Opportunity: Not your usual beer, send this to a studio and it will be a treat.
Threat: Client may not drink proving the product useless
8) Salih Kucukaga
Strengths: Visually very interesting. A nice new take on the bland take away coffee cup.
Weaknesses: Expensive compared to the standard cheap take away cup.
Opportunity: This new take on the coffee cup will very much attract people to the coffee shop.
Threat: Price of manufacturing. Also the design might turn people off. Some people might just want a cofee with out all this extra image and text.

Weaknesses: The says or print for the younger generation look almost over.
