Design Brief
The intent of this project was to create a mailing box with a type of inserts making a color reveal in order to create a brand. The box must have a branding logo and instructions printed on the interior of the box, use the Flab and not use other industrial materials such as glue. The objects that the box will contain must be three in total, and they must have a connection with the designer. The box should create a pleasing or exciting experience for a user who must be considered a fan of the brand we are creating, making the box an incentive or reward for it.
Research
After researching and defining what Items represent me, I decided to choose a soccer card, a soccer ball keychain, and a Nintendo Switch game holder. The items mentioned before were chosen since it represents one of my most representative passions. For the construction, I decided to spend more time creating an insert that holds the objects but also can be used to display them just as a frame. For the design, I based it on soccer-related objects such as the 2022 world cup ball, soccer field lines, and nets.
Design Elements
After researching, I was able to come up with a design using the lines and form of the AL Rihla soccer ball, creating an abstract pattern. For the color palette, as mentioned, I took it from elements such s the soccer ball and the World Cup Trophy, using gold for the background and white for the pattern. For the mailer box, I decided to keep it simple and make it look just like a regular mailer box and focus on the surprise, which is the insert. I created an insert that is able to hold all of the objects dividing them into two platforms and allowing the user to use it as a frame to display the card and the keychain.
Problem Solving
There were several modifications that were necessary in order to make the box functional and reach my goal of making it usable. First, the painting was a problem since I had problems with the stencils for the typography and logo I wanted to include inside. Another problem was creating an insert that fit all three objects, working as a frame and creating a single dieline for it. This makes me have to modify the measurements of the insert several times in order to make it as accurate as possible. Also, to keep the size of the box as small as possible I decided to develop the insert in a way that has two levels and opens in order to revel the switch game case.
