Funky Cartons Design Competition
This was a mock-up for a Funkycarton which was part of a juried competition for which Jon was a judge. Funkycartons asks artists to put the “art” back in “carton.” During the 2007 competition, £5,000 was up for grabs, and the only limit is imagination. Jon and another artist, Dist, produced carton art, showcasing just how creative the possibilities can be. The ‘Artons 2007 challenge was to create a design for a carton for an imaginary mineral water product. The competition was open to any design talent in the UK and Ireland, and was judged by a panel including Lynda Relph-Knight, editor of Design Week, Michael Wolff, ex-founder of design agency Wolff-Olins and, of course, street artist Jon Burgerman.
The competition was launched by Funkycartons, an organisation set up by Tetra Pak, the leading manufacturer of paper-based drinks cartons, to work with the marketing, design and brand community. The aim is to showcase how cartons can be used as a modern packaging alternative for a wide range of beverages. Or according to their website: “Tetra Pak Ltd sells approximately 2 billion packages in the UK. We think you’ll agree that makes them experts at producing a lot of funky cartons.”
