Package yourself:

10 packaging designs:

 

 

Oh so dapper...!! Sorry. I had to.
Anyway, I really like this, because it's a very
 simple design and the text matches with the colour of the produce.
And I really like the moustache and monocle~

I really like this one, because the design
looks so simple and easy to do. The colours are
bright and though it's mainly green, it shows the
audience the main theme of the design and product

I'm guessing that these are take-away packages for a foreign food restaurant (maybe Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc...!!). I like it, because it looks very exotic and also ancient...?
But I still really like it.

                    

10 Mixed Media Portraits:

This mixed media portrait is mainly made out
 of wallpaper and written letters. It looks simple, but
I probably won't be able to compare to this.

 

This one, I think, is made out of paints and letters.
It looks really nice and I might be able to do this.
But... not as good as this, though.

 

There are mainly cut-out pictures
stuck onto paper and drawn on to make
the portrait. It looks complicated.

 






Here are some work that we've been doing:

Just a few designs of me and Seth as different favourite things. Seth and mascot are wondering what is going on on this page... whilst I'm loving it.

I really hate this... the bottom cat looks... evil.

Here are some line portraits of me and Seth... I didn't have a reference for him, so I did it out of my mind... sort of.

Ah, the three monkeys: Hear no, See no and Speak no evil... I really like doing stuff like this. It really shows my inner weirdness... I cut out different letters from a magazine and placed them in the right places (after -of course-placing masking-tape onto the specific areas). I wrote on some words (no, hear, speak, see, evil) to add to the picture/collage.

My idea:

I had two choices: Either something for a chessboard or a pack of cards.
I designed 5 ideas for each one and I finally chose the chessboard idea. I developed one of the ideas that I had.

(Please see my sketch/logbook for that...)

I wanted to have a treasure map styled chessboard, so I had to design a cylinder box for it. As for the artwork for the box... I wanted to create a different type of chess (and since this whole project is about expressing myself), so I made up a chess game where it would be me and my "army", verses my alter ego, Seth, and his "army", and I called it "Queen vs King".

I want to make me and Seth as chess pieces, but I don't think I'll have enough time to do that...!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the chessboard either. Just the box...!!


And this is my net:

It looks complicated to do, but it will be done...
I hope.

And this is a further development of it:

I used a paper texture that I found and multiplied the layer, making it look like this.
hen, I found another paper texture and used it for the instructions.
Finally, I wrote instructions on it. Still needs work, though...!!

I now have the steps-of-the-process-of-this-net~:

1. Started out as a blank.

2. Then, I added the net outlines, using the line tool in photoshop. Black colour for the outline, green for the folding.

3.Then I added one of the paper textures in, since I wanted to make my package somewhat of a  treasure map or like an olden-day, royal object/item

4. Then I added another paper texture (white) for the instructions.  I shrank down the size of it, to make it fit into the centre frame. 

5. Then I added the same paper texture to cover up the bottom of the said section (above).

6. Then I added the instructions. I wrote the "Queen vs King" title in different handwriting to show the opposite sides of my world: Me vs Seth (my alter ego).

7. Then I added two more small paper textures for the top and bottom, writing the text on the top one.

8. Then I decided to add a company logo/website to the bottom. Does the logo seem... familiar~?

9. Then I drew the two "royals", as we should call them in this: Me (on my left) and Seth (on my right). I chose the colours that suited each of us (I mainly like the turquoise-like colours, whilst Seth likes mainly gold, red and blue).

10. And finally, I drew on the chessboard on either side of the "royals". Turquoise represents me. Gold represents Seth.

All of this is done on Photoshop CC 2015.
