Grace’s Bakery are launching a brand-new initiative called the Baking in Schools Fund. This is where customers can buy baking kits from Grace’s Bakery’s online shop to be delivered to their homes, and money from the profits goes into the baking fund so that Isle of Wight schools can apply for free ingredients for a whole class to try out baking. They’re looking for a design for the packaging of the kits, and have a £150 cash prize for the chosen designer!
The baking kits will be packed in postal-friendly boxes with full-colour printed paper wrap around the box, which is what needs designing. If you would like to look up online for inspiration the specific type of wrap is called a “Belly Band”.
Grace’s Bakery would like this paper wrap to reflect the ethos of their business. They are a family run business passionate about the place where they live – the Isle of Wight! They believe that baking is an important skill that everyone of all ages can enjoy. Baking can be fun and therapeutic. Think carefully about what colours you would like to use; they don’t have to align with their branding (grey/gold/black/white) but they shouldn’t clash with it. The product is aimed at families, so it can be colourful, fun and vibrant. Or it could be simple!
You are welcome to use whatever method you would like to make your design as long as it fits on the template. You can choose to print the template and draw on it or download a digital template and design it on your computer. Grace’s Bakery will work with the chosen designer to create a print-ready version of your design. So don’t worry if it isn’t clean and tidy, we’re looking for an idea rather than a finished piece.
Grace’s Bakery is a family run business based in Ryde where they have been making all their fresh bread, cakes and sandwiches by hand for the last 25 years. Ray and Carole Redrup first opened the doors in 1997 and since then they have opened five shops, deliver to wholesale customers across the Island and even sell their products online.
Practical info: To apply for this opportunity, please tell us why you would like to be involved. We’ll then email you a form where you can submit your design, you can also add up to 1 x A4 side of design notes, but this is optional. The winning designer will win a £150 cash prize, as well as your name and website/portfolio/social links printed on every baking kit and promoted on Grace’s Bakery social media accounts. Two runners up will each win £40 worth of Grace’s Bakery treats and Isle of Wight Produce, and your design and website/portfolio/social links promoted on Grace’s Bakery social media accounts.
Opportunity Date & Time: The deadline to submit designs is Monday 5th June.
