Description
The front of my paper bag packaging design for seeds, and we're supposed to work with only 2 colours (white isn't a colour, it's just the paper). There's a range of these for different types of seeds.. I'll most probably post up final photos of my assignment after the studio photography's done.Hrm.. the colours are seriously weird when I did this on my Mac. It's supposed to be greenish, but on a PC's monitor it's.... blue. o___o;;;;
EDIT : Problem solved! It printed out fine and I've already learnt about colour settings and pre-press! w00t

that's cool!
I'd make the smiling seed a little bit larger, that's all, and I really like the logo!
Screen calibration sucks! I have a lot of problems with it even with same-gen Adobe programs! or maybe I'm just stupid.

Ooh, maybe I'll scale the seed up, eh? Won't hurt to see how it would look like at a larger scale Thanks for the suggestion!
Meh, I really hate working across platforms.. so frustrating!

You're welcome!
by the way... I meant 'color management', not 'screen calibration', wich also sucks.

Well it was intended to be green, but blue works out okay too. Somehow the green didn't look as good on a PC as it did on a Mac when I tried to change it back to green. The sprouts on each side are like taugeh! Hahahha

I'm on a Mac right now too (iunno if that matters..) and it's looking a little blue here too. I kinda of like the blue, because blue and orange are complimentary colors? lol I can't remember, but they're opposites... ya know?
OKAY ANYWAYS, I'm sure the green looks good too Really cute design, I like the sprout logo and how you carried it out throughout the package.

Really good design, you did a woderful color choice by using complementary tones, that always will work and it helps to create visual impact.

I wanted it to jump off the shelves. Seed packaging is usually sooo boring..

scaleofthought [2006-08-17 20:01:32 +0000 UTC]
aww! i like the colours your chose. They do well together, and also, i like the alignment of seed kit under Sprout and that Sprout is centered and that there is a sprout.. comming off the o! but as for the happy face sprout, i'm glad it's not aligned to the center and is offset to the right.
oh! also i like the tall skinny sprouts on the sides!! it looks fun and cute! very well done.

I was worried about the alignment of 'seed kit', but I might still move that around to experiment a bit more. Hehe, I kinda like the little sprout on the 'o' as well.. thought that the typeface was really boring so I added it Thanks so much for your comment.

Yeah, it's actually blue now. It's a bit different from the original but I still think the colours work together so I uploaded it anyway. Haha
Thanks!

Ooo, very visually appealing. That would definitely catch my eye in a store.
I think the colors are a good choice-they are bright, but not too overpowering.
Not to mention that face on the little sprout. That made me smile.

designslave In reply to tellG [2006-08-18 01:29:07 +0000 UTC]
Aww the sprout made you smile! I almost went with brighter, shocking colours.. but I think it might scare away or confuse an older target audience (parents/grannies)
