I prepared all the components of this packaging design one by one.
I manually drew a number of London icons, then I made them as vector lines, as backgrounds.
And before I submitted it in the contest, I had printed this design, cut it, folded it and installed it by myself according to the dimention and total concept. I have to ensure the realization of design concepts, such as font readability, and many other things.
Although this design did not win the contest, but I feel happy to take part in the contest. Not bad, the client gave four stars for this.
I am not anti-using paid image stock. But in my opinion it would be better if each component of the brand image was specifically designed one by one specifically. yes, to be special. Therefore, I prepared this design by not using paid stock images at all!
