Seed Packets

To package the cassette tapes I’m going to design seed packets that the tapes can fit into. It is important that the seed packets resemble an original seed packet rather than a simple 'approximation', because this will not only look more aesthetically pleasing, it will also create a more authentic feel.
On a surface level it works as seed packets are synonymous with gardening and allotments, so without people thinking about it they already have gardening in they’re heads. But it works on a deeper level too. Seeds are harvested and put into packets and passed on to other people to grow. Those packets hold the essence of the plant(s), the heart if you like.
I’ve harvested peoples storied and life experiences, essentially what makes them unique, and put it into packets to be passed on to other people for them to heed. So there’s that deeper link too.
