Make sure to go to the project and resources tab of the class to access the 22 page print design guide for helpful tips on how to set up your print projects. It is a great read before tackling the student project.

Your student project for this course is the take a box or product packaging you find at the store or in your house and lay out the basic structure in a vector program of your choice (Adobe Illustrator of Affinity Designer etc.).

I want you to include the basic panels, flaps or shapes needed to then place your design into the template. Then label those flaps/panels and folding elements so you know which side is the inside/outside and which portions need glue/adhesive etc. Do not worry about things like bleed for this particular student project.

The goal of this project is to start learn how packaging, brochures, books and other printed items are put together so we can feel confident offering this service for our clients.
