Course Project: Design a product packaging

Your task is to design a unique packaging for a product of your choice, utilising everything you have learnt in this course. It can be an actual product or a fictional one. The recommended tool for this project is Adobe Illustrator. Here are a couple of great packaging designs for inspiration showcasing many of the principles and rules we covered:

Download a free dieline template to use in Adobe Illustrator from Pacdora (https://www.pacdora.com/dielines)
Find images to use in your packaging (use stock sites like Freepik, Unsplash, Lummi or generate images using tools like Adobe Firefly).
Include the following details on your packaging design: product name, product type (shower gel, perfume, dark chocolate etc.), ingredients, weight and instructions on how to use.
You can use Lorem Ipsum (placeholder text) for the copy or use tools ChatGPT to generate the required copy.
To help you come up with interesting compositions it is recommended to start by creating a couple of thumbnail sketches.
Feel free to also incorporate other principles we covered in this course to further enhance your composition's impact.
Share your final design both as a dieline and on a mockup
Optional: share your initial sketches
