Starter Pack

Description

Create a starter pack that has, what you consider, the three most important items for a graphic designer. You can choose any items, but they must be able to fit into a package that you can design and build. You will also create a name and a visual identity for your package that ties all the items together. If you chose an already branded item you can make it generic OR have the branded item in your package but ignore the branding.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Names are important
• Can you choose non-physical items?
• How to create a cohesive design with three different items?
• Craft is just as important as the design
• Container ideas first? Visual design first?
• The unboxing experience
