Redesign a box structure and a bottle. These can be put together aka a holder and bottle if you choose or can be separate brands. If choose to do separate brands the products need to go together in function. (ex. bathing suit / sun screen). The brands chosen must be a lower quality or lesser known brand (off brand)...we are trying to make this look as functional in your portfolio in possible. So in other words doing Coke or a really well known brand wouldn't look as real in your portfolio as doing a local or lesser known brand.
Due on Monday in job folder

5 pages of research on box
5 pages of research on bottle
If same company for both 10 pages of research / check out competition / background on company / product line.
Due in job folder on FRIDAY (was Wednesday, but we will make it a little later to give you guys more time to check out ideas and decide on your product)
THUMBNAILS
50 thumbnails for box
50 thumbnails for bottle
25 thumbnails for box brand logo / logotype
25 thumbnails for bottle brand logo / logotype
If same company for both (box & bottle) complete 50 thumbnails for logo / logotype. You may do a computer font page of logotypes if this would help you thumbnail quicker for this section.
Hint on the thumbnails....go shopping. See what stands out on the shelf. Ask why? Check out bottle / box shape...could this fit your package and make it stand out on the shelf? Think about colors. Looks / fonts.
