forth round: package design



i thought about a few different things for this, but mike suggested fragrances and i'm just going to run with that because i think it can be more versatile. so thanks mike for that. (design staff mike, not judge mike)


- you need to do packaging design for a perfume AND cologne. the idea being that you have a fragrance with a men and women's line, so it's not like two completely separate things.

- you need to show a bottle/container for the actual perfume/cologne as well as a the box the product would be sold in. how you go about making the bottle/box in photoshop, illustrator, ect is up to you. that's part of your problem. whether you wanna make it look 3d is up to you, ect. the requirements are pretty open as long as you have TWO designs, one for each gender that has the fragrance as well as the box it would go in. you don't have to show every angle/side of the packaging, you need at least a front view though. you should present both designs side by side.

- as far as a name, that's up to you. you guys know the kinda words chosen for fragrances typically.


advice:

you'd probably be better off to look around at some different packaging for this kinda thing before you start. think about designing for men versus designing for women. shape, color, font, ect can all factor into what gender you're marketing towards. remember though that in your finale image the two product should be side by side, so you want them to look similar while being different. think about elements that can tie them together.


i'm going to be out of town starting the 4th for like a week or something. i don't really know but the deadline is going to be after that. so we're gonna say the deadline is midnight monday july 13th. just kidding, now it's extended this could change, but in the event it does, it will only move back further.


if you have any questions about this then just ask, i couldn't think straight when i was trying to get this together so i wouldn't be surprised if i sucked at explaining this.


and can someone pin this when they get the chance

no there are no dimension guidelines. i mean everyone just needs to use common sense. don't sent me some 300x300px picture of your design. relatively large images please.


i'd prefer you guys make up names rather than basing it on something brand name already. i don't really want people to be tempted to simply copy the style that calvin klein or someone like that already has going on with their branding. i don't think it'll be too hard to think up some perfume/cologne-ish sounding names.

Man this one's gonna be a toughie.

Wouldn't this mean we also need to do a logo for our made up brand?

JC, I know I said I'd participate, but I just started a new job and there isn't much time in my schedule for design. Maybe next time when it isn't quite so detailed.
