Project 5: Prototype

Gonna head off to the digital aquarium and see if they can print this full size!

Also might buy some velcro. To keep the lid down.

Project 5: WIP Progress

Progress of the package. It's a little hard to align the text and images properly since the box tapers. I'm probably going to do a few test runs before going to the lab or digital aquarium. 

I have a few sheets of bristol board with 100 pound weight that I think I'm going to print on. 

Project 5: WIP

I still have a while to go, but I'm liking where it's going! The shape is interactive, much like the Asian snack boxes are, and the mascot is so much cuter [in my opinion]. Much better to the eye.

Back to work!

Project 5: Sketches

I've been trying to draw different versions and poses of the Golden Time mascot. The original pose on the left seems so awkward both on the box and drawn, that I decided to change it. I also think I like the face of the standing mascot.

This is what I have so far as the design for the new package. I'm going to work on it later today and see how the layout will accept the designs.

I'm not sure what fonts I'm going to be using but I do know I have to trace the Taiwanese characters in Illustrator.

Now, I feel like I'm getting somewhere!

Project 5: Boxes Continued

The good news is I found an alternative template and it works! The annoying news is I can't figure out how to fold or glue the bottom, so I'm going to have to experiment.

Now I need to blow this up on bigger paper and try to make a bigger version! 

Next up, WIPs of the design.

Project 5: Boxes

So, the impossible box tutorial is a flop. It works fine if you want the box to be in a cube, as such:

But when I changed the measurements to be the size of the original box, it just wouldn't fold. I had a feeling it wouldn't, but I wanted to make sure. This was the result:

Back to the drawing board. I have another template I found that I'm going to try. If it doesn't work either, then I just might change the packaging to be in the shape of a cube.

Project 5: Update

I am so sorry! I thought this Thanksgiving break would be great for me to tackle this project, but then I had other assignments that were due sooner, so I put them ahead on the priority list and finished them first!

This last week is going to be overwhelming, but now that I've got some of the due dates out of the way, I AM PREPARED!!!!

I was doing a mock up of the impossible box last time, and it worked in a perfect cube fashion. Right now, I'm trying to see if it will work as a rectangle. If it doesn't, I think I'm just going to make the package a cube then. I've seen snacks sold in cubes! I have one in my room right now, so I think it will be appropriate. 

Tomorrow I am going to do sketches of the mascot, because, boy does he need to be changed. Hopefully I'll pull up a WIP tomorrow.

Until then!
