Package Design

Package Design

This quarter in my graphic design class, our assignment was to create our own product and market it. We had to work in partners and think of a new idea for a product. Also we had to create a design for a product box, which was the box that the product would be inside. To create a package kid of like a cereal box or a shoe box, basically whatever fit your product best. With the package design I and my partner had to create a magazine ad that would be in a magazine to sell your product. The final thing we had to do was to create a commercial on our product showing the buyer what is was and making them want to buy it.

My product I was trying to sell was the perfect camera. I had multiple features and it could take the perfect picture because it was the perfect camera. My target I was trying to reach to sell this product to is young people and older, around the ages of 16-100. I wanted to show the with my product “The Perfect Camera” you could take any picture you wanted and it would come out great!
On this assignment I think I did very well overall. I think my package design was a bit sloppy, but I think it is very creative and neat like my idea. The commercial came out the way I wanted it come out, and my magazine ad is favorite of all. It was very simple but with a few words it said a lot.

Animal Hybrid

The assignment that we had to create this quarter was to make an Animal hybrid. The first step to creating my animal hybrid was first picking the parts of three different animals. After that I traced the arts I wanted to use by using the pen tool. When I had all my pieces traced out, I created shadows and highlights to bring out the body part more. Then I filed them in with the color I wanted use. I was required to have three different animals in the project and create a background that represented my animal’s climate and surroundings. For this assignment I used Abode Illustrator.

The three animals I chose were a pig, a whale and a panda. I combined the pig’s face; the whale’s tale and the panda’s body. In my background I included clouds, and ice mountain a little lake and my character animal is holding a plate of sushi to eat.

The threes animals I chose represent my personality is the pig represents that I love to eat and as everyone knows so does pigs. I chose the panda because am very adventurous because the climb trees and go searching and that’s sort of like me and there cute. My final animal I chose was a whale because the love the water and swimming and so do I. The background environment relates to my animal because the pig, the whale, and the panda all live in warm climates not really cold. So I decide that I wanted to do just the opposite for it.

On this assignment I think did very well , I actually I think its one of the nicest assignments I did so far. The best thing I like about my animal is the face I think its so in detail that I captures the pig so well. I would change the body a bit more , for example bring out the legs more to show where it is. A new tool I learned was the symbol, which helped me finish my background. 

Self Portrait !!

The assignment that we had to create this quarter was to make a silhouette of your self and customize it in your own way. The steps I used to complete my portrait was I first used the pen tool to outline my photo of my self, then I took my outline of my photo and filled with a color or add text to it and made it my own. We were required to create two photos using our silhouette and adding a background to basically explain who we are. The software we used to create this assignment was Adobe Illustrator program.

The way I cropped my image was by taking my image and just using from my shoulders and up portion of the picture. I thought that position was the best part of the picture. The text that I choose to use in my Self Portrait was “What do I always say… I say hey!! Smile!! Even when life brings you down look at things in a different way!!” I choose this text because it basically explains who I am as a person, which is a happy and upbeat girl! My background is pretty simple I have a some swirls on one that represents that am a little silly and other has circles.

The way I cropped my photo is a bit interesting because it sort of seems like am talking to my reflection. I think that my font and text definitely fits well with my overall Silhouette. My background definitely brings out my image and my quote your not as focused on my background but you it’s an eye catcher.

I think on this assignment I think I could’ve done a little better job than I have did, also that I could’ve put more things on the background that represented myself. I like most about my Self Portrait is the face outline I think its funny and it looks a little bit better that my actual outline would look. The new tools and techniques I used was the en tool which helped me outline my original picture and text button and symbols button that helped me put the finishing touches on my completed assignment. On my design I learned that I could do anything I wanted and still be creative and also I leaned that design looks simple but you actually have to have a lot of patience to handle the pen tool to get the right design.
