3D Design

This is the final presentation of my boxes. The design and wrappers are all set and ready for display. Everything you see here was all done in Adobe Illustrator. I am please to say that I am glad how everything turned out. It took some trial and error to get the boxes to fit 8 crayons and make sure that the measurements were accurate. With my innovative design it solves the issue of having the box flat on the table. Now you are able to have a kick stand to have it stay in place and also having a box where it is easy to reach in for a crayon regardless of how big your fingers are. The design of the box is so sleek that once you are down coloring you can put the tab into the flap and put it in your pocket without having it feel so bulky in your pocket. With all three design they all have their own set of color combinations. For example, the snow boarding edition box has only shades of blue crayons. That way the person is not only tempted to buy the box but to also collect the other ...

The previous week we had to include our own little touch to our box. Now for this week we had to add in our own design. I knew from the beginning that I wanted the boxes to match in some way. We had to incorporate our own brand/logo, "non-toxic", made in the USA, the word "crayon" some where on the box and any other information that may be of good use to have on our box. I was watching the olympics when I was doing this and it started by making a box that revolved around the snowboarding event. From then it clicked to me what the other two boxes were going to look like. I went with a 'board' theme. Snowboarding, surf boarding and skate boarding was the direction I was going with because not only is it targeting the main audience-kids, but to others as well. 

After an insighful and helpful get together to talk about our next big idea for our box,  I was able to come up with something innovative for my box. Meanwhile everyone was pitching out their innovative idea I was trying to come up with something unique that will help the crayon box be more active. Of course, we started off by making a simple box design and by getting a basis as to how to make a box we were then able to add in our own little spin to it. I was then able to implement a kick stand and a pocket to hold everything together. As a kid I remember having a crayon box that was able to hold up to 8 crayons and since it was flat and me having chubby little fingers I wasn't always able to get the crayon that I wanted without ripping the box a little. What I also did was cut out a small rectangle from the box to make it easier for anyone to take a crayon out of the box. 

This week we took what we learned from making our cubes to be able to create a crayon box that would fit 8 crayons. The goal here is to create a box that accommodates for 8 crayons in a box. I was trying to create a simple box so I could get a sense of what I wanted to do with it later to make it more innovative. After a class discussion and a lecture it finally clicked to me that a simple box can be innovative. I took the same dimensions from my simple box 3.75" X 2.75" and added a cover. In doing this this idea was not just a box that covered your crayons but a box that is able to hold up your crayons and not have them flat on a surface. It took some trial and error to figure out the dimensions for the cover, but eventually it all worked out in the end. Illustrator provided me with the exact measurements that I needed to complete this assignment. After printing on glossy paper this type of paper would give the box a more sturdy quality to protect the crayons. By using a ru...
