Here’s your design challenge: take a healthy food and create packaging to make it look unhealthy. Maybe even as tasty as some “unhealthy*” snack food.
This was inspired by AWHS Senior Mark and the work of Brandon Shepherd.
Check out these designs of various snack food packaging.
What do you see?
-bold colors
-solid colors as a background
-bright colors
-big, sans-serif fonts
-animated, cartoon style clip art
-outer glows of various colors
-comic book-style explosions and call outs!
-all surfaces are used -nothing is subtle, right?
What you get to do:
1. draw from the hat – your healthy food with a junk food name.
2. choose a packaging template – click here for templates!
3. draw a rough draft on your paper template. Include items from the list above.
4. cut it out and assemble it. Take a photo and turn it in on Canvas.
5. create your design in Photoshop
6. print out your final design and assemble it
7. take photos of all sides of your assembled packaging and post to the assignment on Canvas.
What you should include in your design:
-evidence that you apply your skills thoughtfully and carefully – do not rush to play games
-design front, back and all sides of the packaging
–use a packaging template
-the junk food name of the food like Coco Crunch Bites
-a bar code
–fake nutrition facts -at least two images of the actual product (coconut chips)
-at least four clipart/cartoon/junk food style images
-you may use AI to generate individual product images but NOT the overall design.
-text that you create using Photoshop
– not AI or an online text generator. I had good luck with Google Gemini.
