Packaging experience includes initial sketches, line drawings and transferring mechanical specs to 3D imagery,
the creating graphics to match available area. We've worked on products from computer software to 66 pound bags of specialized sand for construction.
All samples are mockups using final approved artwork.
As a freelancer, time didn't always allow for a photo shoot of completed packaging.
Never DID see either of these first two as completed packages. The whirlpool unit is still being sold 10 years later, and the mockup I made is what they use for a product shot.
