Plan feedback

After Context of Practise group tutorials, I now have a lot clearer of an idea about what approach to take in regards to my question.

Some of the aspects we looked at in my essay plan were:

Is this realistic for a 3000 word essay?
-Too many concepts trying to be put in, narrow it down
-Is the sustainability section needed?

Is it focussed or very general?
- Should be narrowed down to a particular type of packaging, e.g. foods
- Could look at the differences in prices of packaging, value vs top of the range, and the reasons behind this

Do the quotes/sources match well?
-Broad research with many sources
-Sustainability sources not really necessary

Any suggestions? Sources to look at etc.
-Look at top of the range packaging and why these choices have been made e.g. iPhone boxes
-Compare high end and 'no frills' products, do the supermarkets actually want you to buy the cheaper, plainer products? Or is it to make you want the more expensive one?
-Look at colour theory, Heinz green ketchup, difference between red and white wine and how packaging uses colour theory.


The next thing I will do is create a clearer and more direct essay plan which includes succinct overviews of content and sources, as well as investigate and research colour theory and packaging techniques further.
