Illustration and lettering for packaging design, from the sketch to the packaging

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope my lessons and tips will help you when making your own designs. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we saw in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project: Select the mock-up and look for inspiration I chose a name that represents you, a model that you like and put together a mood board of references to develop your design.

First sketches Draw thumbnail sketches by hand to define the structure and select the one you like best. Then enlarge and refine the sketch. From paper to computer Transfer the sketch to your tablet or computer and adjust the art, apply color and add final details. View your product Apply the art to the selected mockup and see your finished design as if it were real. Now I shared your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you in the forum!”
