Primary Research

I went to the vans store in leeds and took seem images to see if i could get some inspiration for my packaging.

I took information from interviews and sources and a magazine i picked up in the store and made 2 mood boards and a timeline.

After my crit i decided i would make a booklet that i could put my information into and it would have the focus on the history of vans. I then decided i would make my work more appropriate to vans and decided to design my own shoe box , this would include stickers, and open up option so you could see the timeline and history of vans since 1966. This would come in a new edition of retro vans 2013. 

Shoe & box packaging research - 

I researched into retro patterns for my initial design.

Preston North End F.C

Wikipedia said-
Preston North End Football Club is an English professional football club located in the Deepdale area of the city of Preston, Lancashire, currently playing in the third tier of English league football, League One.

Preston was a founding member of the English Football League in 1888 and the first league champions, achieving the English football "Double" in the same season by winning the FA Cup without conceding a goal. Preston completed the 1888–89 season unbeaten in both the League and Cup, a feat that has not been equalled, and which earned the team the nickname "The Invincibles".

Deepdale Stadium was built in 1875 and was first used for association football in 1878. As of 2012 it has been used for 136 years. The biggest attendance seen was 42,684 for a Division One clash with Arsenal in April 1938.

In 1933, the Town End burnt down and was demolished and rebuilt. The stadium now holds a capacity of 23,404 seats, following a complete reconstruction between 1996 and 2009. The current pitch dimensions are 110 yards x 75 yards.
