Sample project: 3D PACKAGING

In this project, students used a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Dimension to create their own special edition Starbucks Coffee Cup design and prototype. The project involved coming up with the concept for the special edition cup, research imagery that may be included on the cup, and generate a 2Dimensional draft of the artwork on the computer. The process included sketching, the 2D draft, and a rendered 3D cup placed in a scene.

The process that students used to create this project was as follows:

1. Discuss/Determine the theme for the cup

2. Thumbnail sketch out ideas for the layout of the cup

3. Generate the 2D/flat artwork for the cup design

4. Use 3D modeling techniques to wrap the cup and place it in a scene for rendering

Below are student samples of this project.
