Project 05

Final Images - Photos of the Mockup Soon to Come

So this darn lace was giving me some trouble!!! Apparently it is very difficult to draw lace in vectors. I probably made about 6 difference patterns and searched for different pictures, took a photo of some lace, a doily, etc, until I finally decided on the one that I did. There were so free vector-based laces online but I felt like I should make it on my own! So I did and this is how it turned out...

Some images of the Ginger Snaps, or Ginger Snap-shots, if you will...

Not sure if I'm going to use the single cookie images, or cut out maybe two together or something. It seems sort of weird just floating on the box so we'll see. I am always working on a lace pattern for the inner part of the box.

Project 05

Well the Ginger Snaps I wanted to use for the project are apparently a part-time item in Kroger and the area they are normally sold is now filled with Holiday-type foods so I had to buy the Kroger brand but the actual cookies look the same (they just don't taste the same)


Anyway...
I chose the Ginger Snaps brand that I did because the bag is made out of that terrible silver-y foil-like plastic that rips the whole bag when you try to barely open it. So I end up putting them in other little baggies of servings anyways, but what a waste! Also, since they are currently sold in a bag, the cookies break and crumble and there are crumbs everywhere when you bag unexpectedly rips open completely.

I am going to use a tall box where the cookies can stack on top of each other and fit snugly - to reduce breakage! Also the packaging of the ones I buy now is horrid. Ginger Snaps, in my opinion should be classic and sweet and pretty - so that is what I'm going for.

I am going to take some photos of them in a really pretty lace-looking white bowl and put that on the front package, or maybe just the cookies themselves. I chose a soft blue color to help contrast the burnt-red or brown color of Ginger Snaps.

Here are some images...

Project 04 - sketches from earlier stages

I forgot to include these...

Book Mock-Up

I am using this book for the mock-up for this project...

Project 03 - Crit.

Some things I'd like to change on this project before putting it into my portfolio are that I'd like to possibly change the background to tan (not white) or make the photo a real photo but sepia tone, or change the black lines to brown. This will help it to look "home-ier".

Positives:
Good font choice
The use of the stairs shows the feeling of a "tour" and evokes a warm or inviting feeling

Negatives:
I knew I did this once I was ready to matte but it was too late... My project was made in tabloid size and it should have actually been a bit larger in order to bleed off the board correctly.
