Packaging Design

This packaging project started with product photography and editing the photo using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. The client asked for a layered blow-out 3D image of the product, and this was accomplished using Adobe Dimension to create the inner layers in a clean way that could not be achieved by conventional photography. The actual consumer product box was designed using Adobe Illustrator for brick and mortar retail international sales and e-commerce. The final edited photo and 3D blow-out images were used in e-commerce sales of the product.

Packaging and Merchandising Design

The image of this plan-o-gram was created for the merchandising of Hallmark Home giftable packaged products for large retail stores. This project started with designing the packaging, including bellybands, vinyl zip bags, and hang tags for these different soft home-good giftables. After the initial packaging design was completed using Adobe Illustrator, measurements of store shelves were used to create this image of a fully stocked store display using Adobe Dimension.
