What is a Die Cut ? • a process used in manufacturing where material is cut or punched out with a die, (or a shape). This piece of material can be a developable surface (like a folding box)
What you need to do before the design challenge. • Bring the Die Cut box pattern into Photoshop and create a motif design using colors and shapes. • Print out your motif design and box on a piece of paper. Cut out the pattern and fold on fold lines. Glue together to make the box. • Make certain your name and class period is somewhere on your design.
What is a motif? • A dominant theme or central idea. A repeated figure or design in design, architecture or decoration.
Design Challenge • Decide on a product that you would like to design new die cut packaging. • Design the shape of your product in Inventor and put on a Title Block • Design a simple die cut package that is made to fit onto one piece of 8.5” x 11” paper. • Design the Graphics that will be included on the box design • Use folding, cutting and scoring techniques to simulate a die-cut cardboard package. You must have a specific product in mind for your design.
Challenge Continued • Sketch your box design on graph paper using a ruler. Remember measurements must be exact or else the box does not work. • Once design is approved, you will sketch the final in Autocad. • The Autocad sketch will then be imported into Photoshop where you will incorporate the graphic design for your package design. • Print your graphic design for your package on a piece of paper and adhere it to the cardboard box design.
Ergonomics- is the aspect of design or engineering concerned with human needs and human form. The field is also called human engineering or human factor engineering. • Aesthetics-(or esthetics) the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty. The way someone perceives the world visually.
Criteria/ Constraints • The die cut box must fit on an 8.5”x11” paper. • The die cut must have fold lines, cut lines, flaps for tucking and gluing. • The die cut must have a creative motif that pertains to the product and die cut that you are designing. • Must also include the name of the product, where it was made, how much it cost, the bar code, and any warnings and/or instructions.
Criteria Continued • The Graphic Design is done in Photoshop and must include use of EDIT ->copy/ paste/transform Brush tool, pencil tool,
