David Laferriere, a graphic designer and illustrator from Attleboro, started decorating his two sons’ sandwich bags with clever, Sharpie-sketched masterpieces back in 2008, when they were in second and fourth grade, and has continued the tradition every since.

“I started drawing on the bags as a way to jump-start my creative juices and have some fun with my kids, “ said Laferriere, whose sons are now in 8th and 10th grades.From robots and monsters to oozing lettuce and comical animals, the drawings are all done within one to three minutes, says Laferriere, a former newspaper designer who says he’s accustomed to working fast..

Culture and arts

15

• Looking at the target consumers , we will keep the styleguides and property aesthetics trendy and pop culture centric.

Aesthetics

16

We would prefer the characters and brand to remain rooted in the story of impromptudoodling rather than neat & straight lines that take away the core essence.

Artwork creation- challenges

17

• To digitally create the artworks that David creates on sandwich bags.

• To get the files digitized, we suggest that the artist (David himself) find a way to create the drawings by using sketchpads or similar tablet devices to retain the charm of the original artwork style.

• Since we will need to use the artworks in multiple ways, i.e. for printing on apparel, jewelry etc, its not feasible to use the scanned versions either.

• David will supply his digital artworks to 20too who in turn will find many ways to use it and also find the takers for the products created with it (i.e. licensees, retailers & consumers).

Worthy causes

18

• David Laferriere brand will not be all about the cosmetic, commercial success of the brand merchandise but will also be contributing to the society with CSR campaigns especially directed at parent-child relationship.

• We will rope in global organizations for CSR campaigns across the globe with appropriate and occasion-centric pitches like for Children’s day, Father’s day & Mother’s day.

• David also does his bit to educate about food waste through his blog and this will be another campaign to look at.
