update: a few word about this paper-box: it was fun to make this colorfull version
of a packaging and also the folding works perfect…
but finally i don’t think it’s the right kind of packaging for the Datahunter ’cause
the style is too much like every mass-produced toy from china. It dosn’t hit the look
for an unique handcrafted toy like the Datahunter…what you think?
(yes, and i really fixed my nikon coolpix! :)

my lovely cam (coolpix990) is broken :( …so no pictues at this time, but at least
i have to post this template for a package of the DataHunters in processes. I was trying
to work with sketches and had a vage layout concept in my mind. Then i vectorized
my line drawings and do the inking afterwards with Illustrator.
Had the biggest problem to place all the necessary informations somewhere, set
points of interests, get everything together and ajust the colorrange.
I’ve printed different variations on 350g/m2 Brisrol Paper, cuted out, folded the packaging and attached the transparent window before glueing all together. Picures will folowing when i can finally grab another cam (..or maybe i should try to repair the old one:)

What u think? Anyone experience in print- and punching processes? Could use some advices…thx

a version of the front sticker of the Datahunters shipping box.
first i’ve drawn a rough sketch, scaned, printed the image bigger and redraw the sujet clean. Than i made in photoshop paths of every part of the scene to made some trial and error with color-settings and outlines. After this step the most time-consuming work is to layout the typography… i used to shuffle all the textlines and have hours to find the right proportions of the font…so this is only a first tryout, but if you read the sticker carefully, you have now at least a first clue what’s all about this little new guy! …so stay tuned :)

well, exhausting times…soon we have to move house, or should i say change the clothes :). under pressure work is often more fun&challenge for me. i have designed in since two nights our new webpage. on the cutout you see the rough template frames are set, the type and logo comes next week…so everybody is ready to move on?
