An extremely innovative session that brought out the designers in our creatives, some chose to design limited-edition summer packaging, giving it their twist on the season's energy. Others set their minds to product invention, both edibles and wearables! Exceptional summer graphics, packaging, flavours and the colour vibes were en pointe, specially created for the limited run. Browse them here; they are irresistible. Let's get into summer!

Background a sandy beach with blue sparkly water, palm tree branches. Picture is located centrally. Sunrise colour background, red, orange, yellow with 3 lollies inverted umbrella frilled shapes red, orange, gold yellow and pale yellow at tip slice of lime to their side. Wooden sticks. Rippled sand impression is at the bottom and a sea mid way in between the sunrise sky. — Barbara's Summer Packaging Challenge

Barbara - 'Tequila Sunrise' - packaging for ice lollies. Awesomely designed summer packaging! Not only that, but Barbara and her friend researched the recipe for Tequila Sunrise Ice Lollies and found some homemade versions in the USA. If they were made commercially, this could be a great packaging design. The concept, colours and lettering all give the summer vibes, aimed at an adult market. Watercolours were used.

Phil - Extremely colourful vibes, great designs for both artworks! Phil decided on a design brief for a new bag for customers and, secondly, a t-shirt as part of his uniform for the shop he works at. Fantastically bright, fresh and practical for the summer, displaying the logo, great summer designs and branding. Phil used the sketch app on his iPad to create these.

Vicky's Summer Interpretations

Vicky - A different interpretation of summer, Vicky sketched these great iconic pictures and gave us a fantastic explanation of each. Clockwise from left to right, with the sun, we always feel the raindrops, as we are in the UK! Every summer isn't complete unless you eat a fabulous ice cream in a cone with a flake! Vicky drew a swallow to go with the saying 'one swallow doesn't make a summer'. Then she drew a goose with its gosling that hatched in the warmer months, some musical notes to the tune 'we're all going on a summer holiday', and an aeroplane taking off. Finally, Vicky captured a typical beach scene with the iconic bucket and spade & sketched beside a sandcastle! A black biro was used.

Background a sandy beach with blue sparkly water, palm tree branches. Picture is located centrally. White background, top left is a small pink hand bag with black handle, black crosses all over, pair of shade showing 'smiling eyes' and eyelashes. Large purple flower with golden centre on the top left of bag by handle. Bottom L; 2 cans of drink, white backgrounds, left one is 'cola' wearing sunglasses eyes shut, smiling and half way down the can has a pair of colourful stripey board shorts, red, blue, purple, yellow, green, orange. Can on the right is 'pepsi' with a purple bow on the lid and is wearing a colourful skirt half way down, blue, red, purple, pink and orange. Bottom R; 2 juice bottles one on the left is purple juice with a red top, half way down has a straw coloured grass skirt and just below neck of bottle is a red coloured garland. Other juice bottle is a similar design, except it is orange in colour and has a pink lid and pink garland. — Donna's Summer Packaging Challenge #1

Left is a large cone that is pale yellow/brown that holds a large scoop of bright pink ice cream, domed on top. This has multicoloured sprinkles on the top and to the side there is a large brown chocolate flake. Right; A rectangle shaped ice that has a brown exterior with a white interior. IT is on a light brown lolly stick. — Donna's Summer Ice Creams #2

Donna - Really getting the summery vibes with your artwork, Donna, fabulous designs. Your first picture is very cute. The summer bag is a gorgeous colour, I love the large purple flower and the sunglasses. The cola cans in their matching outfits, male and female, are a great touch! The surf dude in his board shorts with sunglasses and the girl with her purple bow and rainbow skirt are really imaginative, Donna. Similarly, your juice bottles designed with their grass skirts look very summery, awesome packaging designs! The ice-creams in your second picture look delicious. I was thinking I haven't had an ice-cream in a cone for a long time, and yours looks very tempting! Good for marketing, let's go... Felt-tip pens were used.

White background, a colourful abundance of shapes, yellow, pink, blue, green, golden yellow and some black. More detailed, centrally there is a yellow butterfly and at the lower end there are yellow and blue flowers to be seen. — Noor's Summer Packaging Challenge

Noor - Fabulously colourful, loving the details of the artwork that Noor created for her strawberry ice-cream packaging. She explained that her design shows a glorious seaside with a yellow butterfly, flowers, strawberries, a beach towel, a chair and a towel. Blissfully summery and light! She is really making great use of her acrylic paint palette in this picture.

Background a sandy beach with blue sparkly water, palm tree branches. Picture is located centrally. Black and white drawing on lined paper, image is soft focus. A selection of shapes showing a large infilled circle on top of a stick with a small scribbled circle at the base of the stick. — Matthew's Summer Ices

Matthew - 'Iced Fruit Lolly'. For this design, Matthew based his drawing on his favourite fruit pastille iced lolly, which he chooses when temperatures soar and eats to cool him down during the summer. Great work, Matthew. A black biro was used.

Awesomely imaginative, and as a group, we're incredibly invested in summer, hoping the weather settles, and we can enjoy the warmer months ahead, looking out for the bright colours and tasting fresh flavours, as depicted by the designs of the group's summer packaging. A fantastic challenge, wonder if any of these will be seen in a shop near you? Who knows, watch this space...
