For the final product, I want it to be presented as photo realistic as possible. To do this I want to use Adobe Dimension. This would be useful because the client can see almost exactly what the products packaging would look like once it's printed and made. I watched a few YouTube videos on how I could make my own object and import it into adobe dimension. At a first glance this task didn't seem too difficult. I'd have to make a template in illustrator, extrude it in Photoshop and then import that into dimension. But then I realized that with the knowledge I have access to online and my own experience, it is impossible to make a 3D shape with a hollow center that also has sharp 90 degree angles. I spent the whole day researching and experimenting on different ways I could make it work but I got absolutely nowhere. This was extremely saddening as now I will have to figure out a different method of going about this task. I still want to have that photo realistic final product because I don't have access to making a nice looking prototype for the client.
Hi Levente, I'm Alex, the person who wrote the brief you are working on.
I've really enjoyed looking through your process so far, there's lots of research and a good thought process, well done.
Like Adrian I agree that your work has taken a more premium route, which isn't necessarily wrong. But premium brands have an established visual language and you need to be careful to get that just right in order to communicate the right things to your consumer.
Typography might be something that can really help you here. A typeface like 'Engravers Gothic' (Google it) has become a mainstay of premium fashion brands and it might be something you can tap into to create a similar feel t…
Keep up the good posts .... you have clearly shown a trail of thought through your sketchbook which should be applauded; particularly as without it the term 'paladin' can seem rather masculine and potentially alienate the market. Without the right context is seems rather medieval, war-mongering based signature, so I'm assuming you mean more about the notion of heritage and established to give the feeling of refinement and prestige. This is certainly the more preferable approach, which would suit your suggested colour palette(s) too; move away from the garish colours that don't blend well with your chosen context and move more towards the high-end market.
Here is a simple mock-up of showing a more sophisticated approach to the contextual referencing…
