To design a new pattern for envelopes i needed to first look at the current design. The colour is blue i imagine this is for a reason. Most of these types of envelope are for security reasons so no one can read the contents of said letter. However with the modern age it’s very rare to receive confidential letters unless requested for example i no longer receive a paper copy of my bank statement, an email is sent to my private account stating the bank statement is available to view on online banking.
See above the general design for security envelopes, i want to create something a bit more dynamic but still professional.
I came up with this design first using the shape of a envelope as an image then creating a pattern in illustrator, this works really well as a professional design and a generic design, something to consider with this brief was i have no idea in what context the business wants to use the new security envelope design. So something generic seemed the easy option.
Then i came up with the below design, purely from using different shape styles but this time i tried a different colour rather than white on blue as previous i have used a dark blue and teal colour. This looks much more visually dynamic and easy on the eye as well as fulfilling it’s purpose as a security envelope.
