\u25b7<\/span>\u00a0this work is done by students in a mid-level computer-aided design course
\n\u25b7<\/span>\u00a0the courses’ emphasis is on design principles and visual communication fundamentals with a concentration on print graphics
\n\u25b7<\/span>\u00a0the class utilizes a variety of projects to introduce the technical aspects of the graphic design field as well as focusing on developing the working methodology necessary for good design
\n\u25b7\u00a0<\/span>covering the fundamentals of package design, both graphically and structurally,\u00a0this project is initiated by the student selecting a poorly designed existing package with the requirement of describing the graphic and structural problems of the package through an in-class presentation<\/span>
\n\u25b7\u00a0<\/span>emphasis is then placed on developing a strong conceptual direction for all aspects of the redesign, with\u00a0illustrator\u2019s 3-d rendering capabilities employed to develop a realistic representation of the redesigned package\u2019s structure and look<\/span>
\n\u25b7\u00a0<\/span>chosen over other, more complex, 3-d rendering applications, illustrator is used for its familiar interface and ease of use, allowing focus to be placed on idea development along with technological tools
\n\u25b7\u00a0<\/span>rendering techniques and illustration strategies are covered to assist the student in producing a refined illustration for the presentation layout (shown here)<\/p>\n
