Process

During the first week, we reviewed the content of Major Project 1. Below are the details of Task 3 for Major Project 1 and the printed product packaging.

For the YUNRUO brand in the major project 1, the main focus I proposed was a sleep aid fragrance that can alleviate anxiety and soothe emotions.

In Major Project 2, after Wang SHENGXIAO joined our team, she provided us with suggestions regarding our packaging, products, etc. It seemed that each style was different and not uniform. Issues were found with the font size, style, etc.

So after presenting the works of major project 1 in the first week, we obtained Ms. V's approval. We kept the original brand information, but the design aspects basically needed to be redone.

Next, based on the work previously completed by the senior students as demonstrated by Ms. NORANIS during the lecture, all members of our team jointly formulated the design list. (Image source: SHENGXIAO)

Initially, I was more in favor of the SHENGXIAO plan to establish a perfume brand, only intending to produce a set of perfume kits in different sizes and scents, as well as a set of fragrance candles and essential oils. I thought this would save time. We had to complete everything by the sixth week of this semester. However, there was one week left before the Chinese New Year, and we had a holiday. Our time was extremely tight.

However, CHENYI proposed expanding the product line. We added soap, scented potato chips, body wash, and hand cream to the list. But considering the economic and time costs, SHENGXIAO removed the hand cream.

Week 2, after clearly defining each person's tasks, CHENYI designed a version of the materials and received approval. So I began to purchase some samples from TAOBAO, such as perfume bottles and essential oil bottles, etc. To better showcase the products, we purchased five sizes of perfume bottles.

Then I started working on packaging design. Yes, I still handle the packaging design this semester, and I'm being more cautious now because I know my packaging design must be perfectly fitted. Otherwise, if it's too loose or too cramped, the perfume bottle won't fit.

So my packaging design work didn't start until the third week. To obtain accurate data, we purchased rulers to get more precise measurements.

In the fourth week, I showed Ms. V some of the products I had purchased, and regarding the perfume bottles, we finally chose four sizes: 10ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml.

So I created these four specific-sized knife templates in the software.

Following Ms. V's suggestion, I selected the layout. Then I began my work. Since we chose three scents for the perfume, accordingly, I had to create 4 perfume sizes and one essential oil size for each scent.

Below is the final packaging design drawing.

To make the printing process easier, I designed all my plates in A3 size, which could slightly reduce the cost.

During the printing process, we printed a version with a special textured smooth surface. This was very bad because when we folded it, it would tear. Eventually, we chose drawing paper.

During the process of designing the brand guide, some minor issues arose. Due to the disorganized links in our previous brand guide, it was unable to function properly. However, when I was modifying it at that time, I didn't notice this problem.

It's very difficult for me to accept that we had to make revisions only to find out later that this version has problems. Because when we exported it, the buttons would appear in other colors or there would be situations where it couldn't be navigated.

But fortunately, there was SHENGXIAO. With her help, she did the layout and formatting, and I pasted some of our brand images and models on there. Then we made an interactive version of the brand guide, which prevented any problems from arising.

I made buttons for each one. This will facilitate navigation and make the brand guide easy to browse.

At the same time, in each major project, I changed the color of the top button, which made it easier for the clients to know which part of the brand guideline they were viewing.
