Project 4 Essay

Successful Visual Communication
I wanted this package design to be natural looking and simple not too complex. I wanted the package design and the product to be united. I also had to ne precise with choosing the font. As far as the text, I placed everything in an area of which it would be placed on an actual real life product.

Project Criteria and Visual Communication Objective
I believe my design addresses the objective by making the contents visual. I put the most important things on the face of the package and everything else on the appropriate sides. Also the objective was to make it carbon related and that’s what I did. My product is natural so I used earth tones. And last of all I recreated the box on my own.

Successful visual communication
I balanced the design by putting objects of text on not just one side of the design but on both sides. The Unity of the design comes in where the picture of the earth is placed on top of the Y making it ONE. The proportion of the design varies with the Y and the earth being very large and everything else scales down in size.

Design successfully addresses all Project criteria and visual communication objective
