Creative Carton Design

Project

Our project was to get a toy and create a package for it. The package had to also have a second purpose. Our toy was a penguin stuffed animal. We decided for our second purpose that it would unfold to become a 'snowy landscape' for your penguin.

Process

We started the project by deciding what our toy would be. Then we chose the second purpose. We created a type and color palette. Then, we divided up the work. We used a mandala that we had already created. Then we began creating the inside and the outside. After, we created a 3D revolve and finalized the project.

Challenges

My biggest challenge was that we had to work in teams of 2 or 3. For me, I like to work quietly and quickly, so it was difficult to collaborate with others. I also had trouble thinking of what to do for the inside. One of my biggest problems was the 3D revolve because it takes me awhile to create one. One of my teammates was incredibly skilled at creating them, so they were able to take over and do it.

What I Learned

I learned a lot about collaboration. I hadn't collaborated with others in graphic design before, so it was a new experience. I also learned about creating that inside of packages. I learned a lot about how to improve 3D revolves. Overall, this project was the one that taught me the most.
