![]() For this project I had to design, print and assemble a cereal box. I've never tackled a project like this were the final product is an actual object, and I was very interested to see what I could come up with. I started my project doing research and brainstorming ideas for the theme of the cereal box. After the planning phase was done I moved my work to Illustrator. I set up the measurements I needed so it would print accurately later on. First I designed the front and back cover. I wanted to do a simple and clean design for my cereal box. After that I duplicated the nutrition facts label in Illustrator using lines and text. I duplicated the label using vectors in Illustrator so it would look as real and as high quality as possible. The next thing I did was place the barcode and the color bar which was mandatory in order for this project to look like and actual product. After all the necessary labels were in place I put the finishing touches in my design and went over the entire layout to make sure everything was correct (measurements, folding tabs, etc.) and nothing would go wrong later in the printing and assembling process. After I reviewed my final design, I printed my work and spray mounted it on card stock. The next step was to cut out the design. Carefully, I cut out the entire design with the layout necessary to make it into a box later on. This took the most time because I wanted to make sure that all the cuts were straight and clean. When the project was ready to be folded, with a ruler and a pen I creased the lines were the folds are supposed to go. After the box was folded I sealed the side and bottom tabs with hot glue. This was the final step and after the glue cooled and the tabs were sealed I had my very own cereal box.
