Original Package:
Images of Original Package
After picking the package of a socks brand (MILOS), I tore it apart and took its measurements to create its die-line.
Die-line
For the redesigning phase, I decided to keep the pixel theme Milos use for their brand, and started with a sketch for the main element of the package.
Sketch of character
After turning it into a pixel design, I added more elements to the package following the same theme, and I also added a locking flap to make the package stand on its own.
The Final Outcome
After redesigning the package, and having the final outcome stand on its own after i fixed a problem in the original package, the satisfactory result gives a push of passion towards the packaging field.

Midterm Assignment
Household Packaging
Week 5-10, 17th Feb-24th March
Brief:
For this Assignment, we picked a random household object and started designing a creative package for it that contains innovative folds and closure.
Process:
After choosing my object (a lighter), I started sketching possible ideas for it, and then i made a dummy for both ideas.
Initial Sketches
After the first follow-up, I decided to change the shape of my lighter, for the second follow-up I created an initial mock up for my first idea.
Second Follow-up
After the second workshop, I went back to my research and modified the sketches.
Modified Sketches
Last Follow-up
Testing Closure and Handel
Reflection
Creating this package gave back lessons worth a separate book, but the main lessons revolved around retrying and rethinking the target audience and market in order to find the best solutions for the package, and choosing the right materials to best suit the concept of the package. last but not least, to save effort and power by testing separate parts of the package alone instead of rebuilding it again each time to make sure that the solutions works well.

Brief:
For this Assignment, we were asked to design a package for a product that has a strong relation to a specific culture, and have that package reflect the relation.

Dummies And Mockups
Reflection
This project has been a roller coaster, after its total time decreased because the whole process needed to move faster which I think was a good experience for the future but a terrible one for the current project. using extreme colors and ornaments for a project has been a dream and I hope to be able to re live it to make the best out of it in better situations.
