Basic Graphics equipment

Ruler: most rulers have measurements on both sides in mm (millimetres) and cm (centimetres)

Set squares: Set squares always have a right angle (90 Degrees)

And then a side of another set angle most commonly 30 45 and 60 degrees.

Mr. Matthews

Food Packaging;

Using some of the equipment we have just looked at you are now going to start a project to design and make a piece packaging.

The first thing we are going to do is a spider diagram showing types of sweets and chocolates and cakes, there names and the packaging they come in.

Make sure that your page is bright and colourful and use drawings and writing to express your ideas.

Mr. Matthews

Packaging design, research:

Research into packaging design: Find At least 4 pictures of packaging

that you think looks interesting and make some notes on what you think is

good/ bad about it. Is it colourful? Is it eye-catching? Is it easy to tell what the

product is? What information is their on the packaging?

Mr. Matthews

Packaging Design: Initial ideas.This lesson I would like you to do a quick spider diagram of confectionary product name ideas, make it visual and think about logos: use your

H/W research to help you think of ideas.

You will need a Brand name and logo

And I specific product name and logo e.g.

Remember your product will be the muffins you made in food tech so think about the fruit you

put in it to help with name ideas.

Cadburys Dairy Milk MuffinBrand name^ ^ product

You should Produce 3 design ideas for each and then choose your final designs, you

must explain your choice and the reasons that this is the best option.

Mr. Matthews

Packaging Design: Specification

On food packaging there are certain things that must be included. Your Product must include:

•Ingredients

•Weight

•A bar code

• A best before date

I would also like you to work to some Design constraints, these are things that your employer wants. Your product must:

• Be Colourful

• Be an Innovative and stylish design

• Be In a box

• Have a window to see the product through.

Mr. Matthews

Packaging Design: Final design

Now that you have designed and chosen your final design you need to think about how you will

package your product.

The next slide shows some boxes that we can make using the CAM machine, you need to chose

one that is suitable for your product.

What does CAM stand for?

I will then give you a printed ‘net’ and you can draw out your full package design. Remember to

use appropriate colours and have a nice clear brand name.

Possible nets:

Packaging Design: Plan of making

how you will make your DVD cover from start to finish.

Give an indication of the approximate time each step will take.
