I did photography of my two packaging for advertisement. I edited some bit in Photoshop; I clear the edges from Julian Opie packaging and changed the brightness.

I printed all designs in black and white and mock them up. There are some mistakes, 2 of the second nets design, I made the botto...

But honestly, i didn't enjoyed drinking these teas, i wasn't keen on it and i don't drink tea, nor coffee as well.  After i did  packaging research that inspired me of layout, designs and the latest products. Before I started to design the nets, i  had a lot of thinking of the flavours i have to use to design the packaging, then something came to my head, fruit flavour teas. I love fruits, i drink fruit flavour drinks so i thought i could try fruit flavour tea. So i went to superstore and bought Strawberry and Forest Fruit teas. Finally, i enjoyed the taste of this flavour. Until then, i picked two f...
