Process of packaging

I am working on my packaging for the eye shadow. The purpuse of this assignment is to make a new package for the product that it has already come in a best package, so It is not easy . At first I start with a square black shaped box with a white cammellia, but it became too much like a CHANEL box. Since my concept is Cammellia f lower, a circle shape box is more appropriate .I purchase chipboard and dawels to make that. Honestly cutting a circle on chipboard is hard, and I messed it up alot.I made a circle shape box and I colaj the cammellia on the top.After making the circle shape box I started to think of a case for eye shadow with three levels that opens side to side similar to the way that flowers open.

Because my target audiences are the people who like luxury so, I tried to make my box looks different and beautiful. In my opinion the first thing that people see, while they are shopping, is the package , so its part of a product that they pay for, and it has to be somthing that attract them. I tried ENAMELcolor on one of my box, and on the other one I used GLASS BASE GEL, which gives a texture to the box.Also I covred in the box with Velvet
 fabric which is a simbol for luxury.

I agree that trying to create a new type of packaging for something that already has a package is hard. I'm going though the same challenge myself. I like that you moved away from the square, black & white theme that CHANEL uses with most of its products and thought outside the box. Personally, I find the square box you showed us with the blue camellia (from your print ad) more intriguing--it has more dimension since the petals actually pop up off the top of the box. The circular box doesn't have the same attraction as the square one, but I like how you tried to use the velvet to help create a luxurious element. However, I think a delicately but beautifully made box, without velvet, does the same thing.

Hi Fatima! This is Keira St. Claire in your design program. I was wondering how you went about making the case turn. Im trying to do something similar for my display and was looking for some guidance.

GREAT PROJECT by the way!
