Nets for the smaller box



With regards to the smaller nets I initially wanted to try and work out how to make the logo fall over the top of the box when folded.  this initially took a lot longer than I planned as I needed to work out which sections the box to put which section of the type on and which way round this needed to be.

 I started by working out where the type would be found and marking the sections on the box,  so once I had five parts of the net I put them together and place the logo on top.  then I had to reorganise these five pieces which I achieved through clipping masks.  This took some trial and error.






 Finally I worked out how to achieve what I wanted to and  decided that I wanted the net the black. I want to continue  to experiment with printing method so decided to foil my first box I decided that holographic boiling would be an interesting outcome and may reflect her personality and also the special one-off nature of her second-hand sales. However, I found that the use of holographic foiling  proved to be less successful than I would have wanted. I was unsure if this was due to the method of heat press I was using all the stock or other issues.  I decided that I need to continue with experimentation and looked at using a gloss foil to create a more subtle outcome. Here are some photos.










 One advantage of this experimentation was the fact that I realised that I didn't like the single logo on the packaging and so  I decided to repeat the logo to create a pattern which would then be printed all over the net.

A positive to using the gloss rather than the holographic was that it would not attract from the  purchased item. It would let the clothes talk. This also means that I can include more collateral with each delivery as it wouldn't look over the top but tasteful and more appropriate.
