Takeaway Boxes – 3D Modelling
Summary: Producing a set of takeaway box designs for a local takeaway using Adobe Dimension and Adobe Illustrator
Project Introduction
My current working position at UK Moneyman Ltd, a national mortgage broker in Hull, has allowed me to gain experience within the financial industry. From writing, I have been working for UK Moneyman Ltd for three years now, and counting.
This job role has allowed me to significantly expand my knowledge within the financial sector and develop my digital marketing skills. I did however, want a new challenge and grow my knowledge even further, in a new sector.
In order to set myself apart from other digital marketer freelancers, I approached a local takeaway to ask whether they needed any help on their social channels or anything else digital marketing related. Here is where the owner asked whether I would be interested in designing some new takeaway boxes for them. Although I knew that project could a challenge for me as I had no idea how to model 3D objects, I still took it on to challenge my graphic design capabilities.
The Box Designs
My first step was to get an idea of what size the boxes needed to be. I went back into the takeaway and took a pizza box and a chicken box (unfortunately empty) to get some measurements for them. Once I had these, I started making some artboards in Adobe Illustrator.
I started with recreating the logo in illustrator before making the box design. Using the colour picker tool, I was able to get their colours for their logo.
Once I has finished preparing the logos, I was able to implement them into my takeaway box artboards.
Now that I had the design for the pizza box ready, I could replicate it for the chicken box size.
3D Modelling
The software I used to 3D model the designs was Adobe Dimension, a software I had never used before. To speed up this process I imported a pizza box and takeaway box 3D model so that I could easily import my Adobe Illustrator designs onto the boxes.
This is the final product for the pizza box design in Adobe Dimension. I managed to export the chicken box design for you to take a look at for yourself!
