Contest Brief

IMPORTANT: PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILES

I need an attractive packaging design sleeve done for a box that will include a solar panel and various other components. The product charges a battery during the day and you can light up to 4, 6 or even 12 LEDs at night plus also charge a cellphone during the day.

It is Do It Yourself, no expensive electrician needed or cables to connect to the main electricity supply. It's a maintenance-free, plug and go 24/7/365 system. Once switched on, it stays on. The system is high quality. The system has a patented encrypted algorithmic unique software that controls how the battery is charged and discharged to increase its lifespan and make it last to the battery's expected lifespan of 5.5 years. With nobody having to touch it, the unit controls everything intelligently so less likely to be damaged. The LEDs is expected to last 55000 hours (25 years) and the solar panel 20-25 years.

The images and logo attached will show the theme colours, blue and green and white. The theme can be found here: http://graphicriver.net/item/flyspa-corporate-identity-mega-branding-pack/5298566?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.z_author=GraphicArtist

It has 6 primary uses, 1) for low cost, informal housing, villages or areas without electricity 2) for homeowners with a shed, garage, outbuilding, cottage out back that they can't electrify because they need an expensive electrician to dig up their gardens, paving, driveway to lay electrical cable to provide power 3) to light up your garden 4) to provide security for warehouses, stores, factories, gate entrances etc. Lights stay on 10 hours at night, very bright, 220 lumens. 5) building an add-on room, this takes care of the lighting needs and it is free power. 6) light up you poolside or entertainment areas all night, for free.

Please see attached the pics of a similar product from a company called Ellies that I would like ours based on.

The printing will be on three sides. On one side I'd like a checklist where the system type can be ticked off i,e 420, 430, 630 and 1230. The 1230 is for outdoor use, gardens, security, entertainment areas, poolside etc. The other three are for indoor use.

I've included some images of other suppliers. Feel free to use generic icons relating to solar and LED lighting.

I'd like the box to show the many uses for the product, in their own space/margined off "areas". On the side, so when it is packed on shelves, I'd like the day and night illustrations so people can see immediately what the product is. The box might also be stood on it's side so the direction of the writing must follow that.

I've attached the specs for three of the products 420, 430 and 630. Ignore the Afripower logo, that's our African division. The new worldwide company is called SAE Solar Engineering. The name of the product is Solar Smart.

To emphasise on our packaging: Our competitors have a far inferior product, ours has a two-year warranty, no one matches it. They offer two lights usually, we offer 4, 6 or even 12! Ours are 3 watt LEDs with 220 lumens, the competitors have cheaper LEDs.

  Apologies, it is a typo. It should be ASE which stands for "Australian Solar Engineering:.

Bear in mind, I asked for quotes, accepted the price asked, no questions, and still got messed around. I only want serious users now. FYI, the amount quoted last week for the job was far less than the amount being offered by me now.

So everybody understands my reasoning why I've chosen this amount and made it a contest. The 'established' freelancers make it hard for those entering the game to get work and show their talents and so are quite usually arrogant in thinking their past reviews and ratings guarantees good work going forward. This job was actually posted last week as a project and the user accepted then wasted my time for several days then just cancelled it without notice. I don't have the time to waste.
