Assignment2: Packaging Yourself

after completing my first project and not using my blog to its full potential im going to try and post a lot more work here for my 2nd project. here is the brief.

Brief
Use vectors to create an illustration of and original product box with graphically designed packaging, such as a soap box, cereal box, washing powder box etc, substituting your name for the product name.

research the context of your design before you begin the design process. use a range of Adobe illustrator techniques and processes to make the images of the box into a three dimensional space, then rework and resave your files into other sizes and formats.

it was also stated that i can not use AI (Adobe Illustrator) features such as live trace in order to place photo quality images in my work.
identifying and implementing Visual language into my project is a very important feature.

initial thoughts

• i need to make something that will be easy to draw
• well researched in order to fill up the sides
• high end product would allow me more negative space
• kids cereal would look the most professional with vector images
• real images can be used as visual guides so i can try make a "real hand" (thunder birds joke)
• innocent smoothie has minimal intresting packaging.
