2D Final Project:

Package Design

Step 1:  Identify the product (package) you will be using for the project. You may choose any existing product you want or brainstorm a new product.  Required: you must create a new design

Step 2:  Google an image of the existing package design and save it to your computer. (If applicable)

Step 3:  Take a blank piece of paper and sketch your new design.  Be detailed and specific with color choices, font choices, size, scale, textures, etc.  You can use the color pencils to enhance your drawing.  Consider design concepts we have discussed in class for your redesign. Remember, the better your draft is, the more likely the graphics you design in Photoshop will be more refined and accurate.

 

Step 4:  Now, in a word document, compose a short explanation of your project.  See the example below:

Paragraph 1:  Explain why you chose this product and why you decided to change the packaging. 

Paragraph 2:  Explain in paragraph form all the changes made to the existing package.  Be specific and detailed about how you would like to see the product changed. This is simply a narrative of your drawing.

*Paragraph 3:  Explain how your package design is better than the previous design. (If applicable)

 

After you have proof read and spell checked your document, save it for it to be submitted when your project is complete.

 

Step 5:  Recreate your drawing/design of your new package in Photoshop.  You should be able to create all sides of your packaging in Photoshop.  What does the front, sides, back, top, etc. look like?  Design each side.  (You do not need to recreate the package, just the design of each side) You must have a detailed design for at least 2 sides. BE CREATIVE.  THE MORE YOU PUT INTO THIS THE BETTER YOUR GRADE WILL BE!  Why will people want to by your product based on the packaging?

 

Step 6: Turing in your project:

1.      Drop your Photoshop file of your design, your word document and a picture of the previous/original design package (if applicable) into dropbox on Cole.

2.      Hand in your drawn design.
