Long days in school is the main theme of this week. Things take a lot more time than you expect it will. We have done som changes in our packaging design, and we are very satisfied with the results.

Our prototype folded together and for the first time it’s in color.

Our biggest challenge about the design, has for sure been the choice of colors. We found it very hard to find colors that would both match good together and have some linkage to the feeling of Japan. The final version of the graphic design includes three basecolors which is black, gold and dark red. We have focused on a modern and luxury look where we wanted to integrate a pattern that looks a bit like a circuit board. The box itself has also caused us a few extra hours, since we wanted to add a few elements and get rid of some other functions that didn’t work out very well.

The package has got a different kind of lid. Bye bye to the garage door-function.

There has been a lot of time spent in front of the computer modifying the blueprints in Illustrator, but also some printing, cutting and folding.
We have som thoughts about the broschure and we have decided to make it look like a menu at a restaurant, with elements and colors taken from our packaging design. Our next task is to do an ad that has the same theme as our box.

Have a nice weekend!
