Designer Gwyn M. Lewis put together a sock branding package for these grey, brown and black sets that creatively turn the footwear accessory into canine faces. The paper packaging creatively utilizes the floppy shape of the socks to represent the ears of the dogs, while a pink pair stands in as the tongue.
The sock sets are called the 'Barking Dogs' and they are designed to playful. The paper packaging configures and arranges the socks so that they flop around like a real dog's ears do. This is thanks to the white dog mask that is made from cardboard and keeps the socks in place while they hang for sale at a shop. The design is whimsical, while still displaying the product.
