- I learned how to use illustrators at a new level. I got to learn new skills on how to make a real packaging design. I really enjoyed learning about this because I would enjoy package design. I feel it has helped me gain a better understanding of what effort goes into making package design. I enjoyed learning how to configure everything properly in order for it to come out correctly.
- I found the easiest part of the project was making the pattern. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it also taught me a new skill. I got to play around with illustrators a lot more and figure out what shapes and colors I could use to make an attractive pattern.
- I found the most challenging part to be figuring out how to make the logo. It took a lot of playing around to get a logo that looked most similar to the Byrne Dairy one. I found it also challenging to arrange the layers properly over the original logo in order to not mess up the layering of the words and illustrations.
- My submission could be improved by playing around with the pattern making a bit more. I feel as though I could have come up with a more creative pattern. In projects like this moving forwards, I’d like to work a little bit more on gaining a deeper understanding of the illustrator techniques, so that they will become second nature when using this program.
- I do not find that this project could be improved moving forward because Professor Dunkle gives very descriptive instructions. There is always a video or pictures for each step which makes it a lot easier to understand.
- In future assignments I will be able to incorporate more creative aspects into every project because of the understanding I gained from the illustrator. These new skills will be useful in future assignments and life.
- The video I found most helpful was the construction of the milk carton. I would have had a much harder time constructing the project without the knowledge of scoring the lines prior to constructing it.
