Thursday - Last day of class before finals!

Hey guys,

You have one more rough...you need to take the best concept and work it out to be as close to the actual packaging graphics as possible. You need to fix errors of closing and make sure the box will work in it's final form. You need to make sure that you have all the needed elements of net weight, ingredients, nutrition facts, etc. You need to have one rough for the box and one for the bottle. Make sure that you keep all these renditions of roughs so that you can take photographs of them for your job folder. Thursday will be a work day so make sure that you are ready to work on stuff in class.

Also don't forget to bring along your A-Game for tournament play:) We will do a quick critique then breakfast run. Those that would like to make treats for the class. We have 18 people so make sure to make enough.

Tuesday Class

Congrats on your first egg carton and drop!

For Tuesday next week you must have a completely alternative look to your label and packaging. Must be completely different that than the rough that you presented in class. Different shape of the label. You can keep the shape of the box or bottle but must have a completely different feel. Bring your 1st rough and 2nd rough to class for comparison. See you Tuesday!

Thursday, May 3rd

One printed / assembled rough of your box and bottle. If your bottle is not awesome yet...go shopping...really look for stuff that is going to make it pop. Challenge your thumbnails design. These really need to sing in your portfolios!

Also I just heard that typography has filled and there is still some people wanting and needing to take another one. I'm hoping to open up another section so for those of you that the first section was a tight spot we might have a new section for you to jump into. I will let you know more details as soon as I know them...but know I'm working on getting some open spots.
