GeneratiCharacter Packaging
In this process and
production workshop we would be focusing on developing our character we had
previously created and placing them into a cereal brand. From my development in
the previous character design I have decided to further my idea for a brand
called "Panda Puffs". I decided to focus mainly on this idea as I
felt it was the stronger contender and was best suited to a serial box
character.
1.
I began by importing the initial front
cover I had created as sketch, I made sure to adjust this file in Adobe
Photoshop so that I could trace from it.
2.
I then imported the net of the cereal
box which was provided to us and can be seen bellow. I used the pen tool to
trace the shape of the box so I had a blank canvas to work from.
3.
After creating my canvas I then started
to create my design from my sketch using Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool
and using colours that would show my character in its best way.
To create my cereal net I have used tools in Adobe
Illustrator such as the Pen and shape tool. I feel like doing this task has
made think about the process I create things a lot more, as I normally work
straight from the computer and not really designing and sketching as much as I
used to mainly because I’m to into want to get to the main piece of work and
being impatient. However I feel through drawing the design out first gives you
a very clear idea of what your design looks like and knowing that my work can
be improved on the computer shows me that there more potential and gives me a
confidence boost in knowing my idea could look much better.
I am very pleased with my design and the process it
has taken to make it. My design is based of a fiction brand called "Panda
Puffs" this is a fun fruity puff cereal which appeals to a younger market.
My aim for the colouring of the design was to make it subtle as I could for the
target audience. I wanted the character and text to stand out the most on the
box I feel I have done this. If I were to develop my design I would probably
work on the background and try and make it more interesting than it is.
