BLOG ENTRY #6 AND #7

Today we are on the finishing ends of out redesign project! These are the current before and after package designs side by side. I am overall very content and pleased with the outcome of my design. I found when designing I was over complicating things with colours, shapes, and type there was just too many elements, therefore I decided out of frustration to simply the overall look and this is what I arrived at. I was must more pleased once I discovered that it would still be eye catching and elegant even with just one vocal image with the cherries. And as per usual printing was my biggest tool in getting the right scale and look. I printed out tons of different copies just constantly referencing the feel of the project when I wrapped the paper around the bottle.
So, definitely learned to make distinct design choices and not get caught up in fiddling on a piece that just isn’t working and that’s it’s okay just to restart with an entirely different look in mind as I find I make clearer and more effective design choices, and that’s what happened here. Also, just really enjoying working with a physical design project.
