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.

Graphics Retail Project: More Surface Design Experiments

Surface Design in Net







These are collages of previously hand-drawn designs which I edited using Adobe Photoshop. I used the gradient tool to experiment with different colours. I like the different colours, and the way this has come out. I think this will look better for the surface of the inside of the box, and then I do further experiments for the outside of the box.

I scanned in the surface designs I previously created, then edited them using Adobe Photoshop. I collaged my previous hand-drawn designs, and then I used different gradient colours, fill and effects, to try and experiment with different surface designs. I like how I could incorporate some of my hand made designs into surface designs, and I think it worked quite well. I added the ALBOE character logo, so there is a relationship between the product and the shop, but I think it may look a little out of place. To further my experiments, I went on to using more colours trying to find what colours would best suit the type of people who would shop at my fancy dress boutique.

Graphics Retail Project: Surface Design - Coffee Cup Face Art


Surface Design - Coffee Cup Face Art

















Coffee Cup Face Art is a coffee cup surface design created by Jess Giambroni. I really like this surface design because of the sketchy style drawings. Each face is individual and really interesting to look at. The monotone colours used make the faces stand out. It also make the sketches less busy, so our eyes can concentrate on the images. I think simplicity is important in some designs and I think this worked particularly well.
