People I looked at were :

Eric Carle

His best known book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar (1969), the story of a caterpillar who can’t seem to fill up. He eats too much and gets a stomach ache, so he eats a leaf. Soon enough, he’s no longer a caterpillar but “a beautiful butterfly.” That book, also a Caldecott winner, has been translated into more than 50 languages. To create his distinct illustrations, Carle collaged hand-painted papers to form his trademark colorful images. Before he became a book illustrator, he studied art in Stuttgart, Germany, and had a career in graphic design and commercial art in New York City.

Emoji were born in a Japanese research facility in 1999, and cell phone users in that country became the first to share their hearts out with winks, blown kisses and tears of joy. As much as we’d like to believe that these emotion-filled pictures have feelings, it’s important to understand that our devices don’t really read them like that. Behind every picture is a unique numeric value defined in an international encoding standard known as Unicode. That's how a lollipop becomes U+1F36D. (Remember that, it’s important!)

Remember the Unicode numeric value above? What that means for designers is that they have some freedom to decide what picture best represents that standard number. Of course there are some guidelines, but there is also wide creative freedom.

For my design I did just pick out what came into my head but I do think that all these visual emojis help to play a massive influence in graphic work of this nature. There fun and expressive and add a personal touch to the sender etc. 

Next I told my image and placed them onto bags
