3D Packaging: Labels

I started working on adding the labels to the bottles I created. I'm still trying to make them look more 3D, and getting the highlights and shadows right.

3D Packaging

I finally figured out a way to make 3D packaging using a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop. I created the 3D shape in Illustrator and then used Photoshop to create lids and tops for the packaging. Now I have to figure out how to make the labels 3D.

I still have quite a ways to go, but I'm glad to finally make some progress with this step. I think I want to create a magazine advertisement for my 'brand' using these 3D models.

Packaging Design Progress

I'm working on a few different designs in Photoshop. I design one, and then I think, well maybe I could do this and this different and I keep coming up with new ideas.

This was my first design and I do like how it came out but then I thought, maybe the bright colors don't work as well as I thought. This label would wrap around the entire packaging. I think if I toned down the colors, I would like this a lot more.

My second design is more 'natural' and I think I may go with something more like this. There is a separate front and back label.

I have a few other designs in progress but these two are my favorites.
