Thesis Process Blog

This week is when everything is due for the semester.  According to my contract, I said I was going to complete the following:  Deliverable 4: Packaging System (4 points) 3 different types of packaging design mediums each containing many flavors Bar (candy) wrapper Boxed Candy (for truffles) Jar/tin container (for powder mix) Subscription/Mailer Box Gift Box for specialty/limited edition items. User test and complete Deliverable 3 (this is your interactive deliverable) and describe this deliverable in detail. • User test packaging system to focus group. • Visual system guidelines • Draft of the thesis process book I completed all of the above, but I am aware there are still things to edit and go into depth with. The only deliverable that is slightly different is the Gift Box. I didn't mention it before, but I was going to do a full-size pack of the bars, but ended up doing a "Mini Deck" version of the gift set of the current chocolate bar line; not limited edition. Altho...

This week I focused on my packaging design for the bars, charms, and brews. For the bars, I am showing a few at a time this week, since there isn't much information changes, but will showcase all of them in the final presentation. I tried out a lower-case type execution for the flavor names which helped make it more readable.  For the Truffles packaging, I did a few more sketches and decided on a square box design.  But, I'm realizing what may be an issue is the lack of responsiveness with my app. The app I created in Adobe XD is formatted for iPhone 11, which isn't suitable for some people who have older/newer iPhone's or an Android phone. I'm not sure what's the best solution for this aside from creating a video of the navigation on a mock phone for presentation purposes.  My app was in need of a desktop page to lead buyers to downloading the app, so I created a comp of it. Not sure if it needs to be more simplified.
