More Packaging

I got to do another packaging project. Packaging is one of my favorite things. I decided to do some packaging for jam because I thought it would be a good fit for my style. I did two because I thought doing one would be too easy and wouldn't be enough for a 2 week project.

Here are the proposed jam labels for Smucker's. I did one for strawberry jam and concord grape jam. Overall I think they look pretty good. The strawberry jam label is my favorite because I love drawing strawberries and red is my favorite color. If I would do anything different I would do the type in the banner by hand. I couldn't make the text wrap along the banner for anything in the world. So next time I would do the type by hand. I need to practice hand type anyway.

Here's a picture of the final 3 dimensional product. In the future I would like to take better pictures of my products. Photography isn't my thing. But I enjoyed working on this project and I would like to do more packaging projects in the future.

Closure to 2012

I have been really inactive on this blog but I hope to change that. I wanted to post some of the projects I did in fall quarter 2012 that I should have posted in December. I just became a sloth in December. The first project I want to share with you all is my packaging assignment. We had to find something at Hmart to rebranding. I chose these peanut cookies, they were a Korean brand.

I decided to use the monkey from my "monkey shenanigans" book for the mascot of the rebranded peanut cookies. Here's the illustration on the very front of the box. I'm proud of the "peanut biscuits" type I did. 

Here is another side of the box. Overall I think I did a decent job. I still need to study more packaging so I can get better. I did this in photoshop. Had to do a lot of scanning because I drew most of the elements including the type in my sketchbook.

Another project we had to do was to design some nesting dolls. I called them "The Jolly Roger Nesting Doll Set". This was actually our first project of the quarter. I'm glad I was able to work in my style. I had to do my own munny dolls and I felt like I couldn't do them the way I wanted to because I wasn't able to work in my style, which is basically cute and simple. I used fluid acrylic and color pencil.
