Assignment #3: Packaging

I pretty much already started this assignment by creating a box for the last assignment. After getting feed back from the last critique we had I definitely want to make this next project to be a regular size card box. If not a box I want to try and come up with a unique shape that still ties into my theme of professionals playing with my cards to become the best. A briefcase is what instantly came to mind. Also had thoughts about how people fold suits when they travel. Making one of these things into a card container could be interesting. Or I could simply design a better box, and give examples of the different color schemes that I want to use. So far I have come up with 4 different looks for how my packaging could go. My favorite one is the Mr. Blacks box with the Best stamped in the bottom right corner. The idea of having a mini briefcase with a handle holding the cards is my other favorite as well. Now I'm torn as to which one I will pick for my final choice.

 

I decided to choose this one. However after our 2nd crit I was told that grey was taking away from the professional/sharp feeling i was going for. So I re thought about my design and came up with this.

I am going to cut out the design and fold it into a box around some chip board, or i will use a stronger piece of paper that I can just print out and use all together so I dont have to glue the paper onto something. I took the best stamp completely out. It seemed like a distraction that didnt fit. So I changed the theme and just created a Mr. Blacks which is the brand of the cards. Its also a guy who is put together, doesnt lose, hes the best. To be the best and be like Mr. Blacks you buy the cards. Hes the man everyone should want to be basically.
