This vegetarian food packaging concept from graphic design student Polly Augusta Louise of Plymouth University brings a whole new meaning to the term "veg head."
The concept explores three different types of products in different packaging, including a pot pie, a burrito and a soup. Although the containers are radically different, what unifies them is a color-coded scheme against a crisp white background and images of people where their heads have been replaced with large vegetables. The ingredients in each of the products are clearly listed on the front of each package, along with a series of small symbols to quickly indicate estimated cook times, calories and assure that the product is in fact vegetarian.
