FOURTH GRADE GRAPHICS . . . package designs!

We learned how to be package designers in graphic arts this year! This was a long process for our creative thinkers in graphic arts. It all started with an idea for a product we wanted to build. We had to come up with the name for our product, a logo design and a box design.

As described in the 5th grade post above, we started in the art room and built our product out of clay and cardboard. Once these were complete, we experimented with plain white paper to build a box that would fit around the product. With our sample boxes and an idea for a name and a logo, we met in the computer lab to finish our boxes.

The logo for our box was drawn on Adobe Illustrator. Then using the measurements for our box based on the paper sample boxes, we designed the flattened box on Illustrator and created a window for the front of the box. We decided on a color for the box, placed the logo on each side, added a tag line and any other information that might be needed for the box, such as a made-up website, or a UPC symbol!

Here is what 4th graders created:

NICO
"Time to Shine"

Nico created a watch and called it FENG

His watch is made of clay, paint
and corrugated paper.

Here is how Nico's box looked after it was drawn in Illustrator with his FENG logo

"There's no skating around a deal this good!"

Dakota created a mini hockey stick set
called 8S.

Dakota created his hockey stick and puck

"The ball that serves and returns"

Logan created a tennis ball that you hit and it comes back like a boomerang.
It is called BoomBall.
