images. I adjusted the threshold levels to make them clear for use on my packaging.
I used the outline of the chicken silhouette as a background for my packaging. I filled the outline in and began arranging where I wanted things on the page. I added guide lines so I knew where the different sides of the packaging were going to be. I realised that the position in which the chickens were in originally wasn't going to work, so I used the lasso tool in order to move chickens to the desired sections. I then went on to add clouds to the background in order to make it look more like a morning scene.
Once I was happy with the position of the components in the background I began adding my hand drawn type and images. At first I had trouble with deciding where the type should go. I wanted a busy page without taking the focus away from the background. Eventually I decided that I would leave the front relatively plain with the cockerel being the main subject and the name of the coffee packaging and a slogan on top. The back of the packaging would also be plain so a description of the coffee could be included. To create contrast between these two sides I decided that the less significant sections could be busier. I arranged the type so it looked interesting and included my hand drawn images of objects that fitted with my theme.
After I printed off the design and had actually built it, I decided there were some improvements I could make.
