Eco-Friendly Packaging: Design Sustainable & Impactful Solutions

Creating memorable and sustainable packaging for successful brands

“We've reached the end of the course! Thank you so much for joining me. I hope my lessons and advice will help you create your own dream pieces. Don't forget that every project is unique, and what we covered in this course is a foundation you can use in your own style. I'm sharing the steps you need to follow to create and share your project: The visual value of the brand Choose the value or values you want to highlight in your final piece. Keep in mind that your packaging will become a memorable and lasting covetable piece that will help build visibility and reputation for your client.

Making the mood board First, you need to create a Pinterest board where you'll organize all your ideas, always keeping your client in mind. Then, select the most representative images that summarize your final design and create a final image in .jpg format. Define the materials Consider the functional needs of your piece and choose the materials you'll be working with. Remember that the materials you choose must be consistent with the message and also fulfill the function of being durable and sustainable. Creating mock-ups Create mockups for the client. The goal is to always have a clear idea of the product you want to develop, and the mockups help you and the client achieve the most realistic visualization possible of the final product. From mock-up to production Create the final artwork file for printing. This stage is critical to achieving the best possible product, so you'll need to consider many variables, such as paper, format, ink, finishes, and the quantity you'll need. Now share your final project with us all by clicking "Create your project." Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each stage and add a brief explanation of what you did in each one. I also want to encourage you to actively participate in the forum, both by sharing your progress and by asking questions or giving advice, and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I'll try to visit the forum as much as possible, 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 on the forum!”

“Hello, I am happy that you have reached the end of the course. I hope everything has been clear and help you in your learning process. Design allows us to experiment, seek new forms of communication and emotional connection. In this course I have shown you the methodology that has worked for us in Mantarraya, but this is always in constant evolution as well as creativity. One piece of advice I can give you is to be persistent, Practice makes a master.
