The packaging project was one of my favorite projects this semester. I became very interested in the project because it was on something that had actual use rather than something that was stationary like a sculpture. When I approached this project I began thinking about special packaging for CDs so I decided to do a collector’s edition design for a video game called Kingdom Hearts.
I made a case shaped like a crown because it is one of its most noticeable icons, and anyone who knows the game will recognize it. I painted the case with a metallic silver spray paint which ended up looking great. The only problem was on the inside when it came to making the actual hold for the CDs. I used one of the plastic holders from CD cases to do it. After the critique I learned that I could have done what actual CD cases do and use the small ring in the middle to hold it, but I was concerned that the material I used for it would not hold.
Overall I enjoyed working with packaging design because it was a new experience and is something that I see a lot. It takes good problem solving skills to come up with an idea that is effective, practical, and can sell.
