Graphics Retail Project: Final Top Side Surface Designed Net

Final Top Side Surface Designed Net










These are my final top side of the box surface designs. The net is in parts, because the whole net is too large to fit on one side of paper. I wanted to have a large net because for a fancy dress boutique, the box would be used for items such as masks which are often quite delicate and costumes which are often bulky. Upon the net are clothes, which are created for the user to cut out and dress up the ALBOE character.






After various trails I assembled the box. The image above is a prototype, made from paper. It is quite flimsy, but it allowed me to see how the final design will look once made, and what changes I may need to do to the net and surface design to make it better. What I noticed when creating the prototype is that one of the net sides was up-side down, so I had to go back to Adobe Illustrator and turn it around, so it was the right way round.

These are my final bottom side surface designs for the nets I have created. I collaged hand-made designs I previously created, and then edited in Adobe Photoshop. I also changed the colour gradient of the images, and assembled them to fit into the net. I also added the ALBOE character to the design, so a connection between the company and the packaging can be made.

Image 1 is the first surface design I created, but the net I made was too short in length.

Image 2 is my second trail of the bottom side of the box surface design.

Image 3 is the net from 'image 2' an assembled together. Once I assembled it, is when I noticed that I did not add enough tabs to the net.

Image 4 is a net with extra tab added to it.


After various trails, I have now a completed net. It was complicated getting the measurements, and overall net correct, but the outcome is quite a success.

This is my net which I first created using graph paper. Below it is the net created in Adobe Illustrator. I have decided to make my net a cube, which can open with a separate top and bottom. After researching although I found some very creative packaging designs, I decided a cube would suit my fancy dress boutique the most, then I will focus and a creative surface design. The net is divided into part as I wanted to make my box fairly large, and it could not fit on one sheet of A3 paper. As fancy dress costumes and usually quite large and bulky, I think a large size box is the most appropriate.
