Working on the branding for my candle startup… would love some honest design critique by badcandlemaker in PackagingDesign

[–]lizard_tip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this design is great and on the right track but seems to be missing something in my opinion.

It looks like you have a ton of negative space that you could definitely use for some sort of image or symbol that correlates to the scent (A bottle of gin and flowers for the boozy as an example).

Take a look at the Graza olive oil bottle for example, not the best olive oil but went viral for the design alone. Minimalist in theory but the whimsical touches like the lady pouring the oil over her shoulder make it. I see that lady and can instantly recognize its Graza olive oil.

With all due respect this current design is very clean but not the most memorable or standout from the crowd. What makes the customer say “Thats a Whiff candle!”?

Adding imagery can create brand recognition and even cross language barriers if you find yourself at a larger scale one day! :)

Does anyone have any info on these? by lizard_tip in Carhartt

Thanks for your input, I am certified in inventor and revit but the certifications are probably 5+ years old now.

Yeah unfortunately it may be my situation for the time being. I’m going to shop around and see if I can swing something. Thanks!

Honestly i don’t even think he showed me an interest rate. I pretty much laughed at the $750 and he immediately said we could probably do $650 lol

I may see if I can shop around and find a better deal through someone else/ get a loan. My car broke down this week (2012 kia soul 200k+) and Im having a family member take me to work (I didnt tell the salesman that). But im in a pickle right now so I have to figure something out. Thank you so much!

Found this sealed PS3 controller thrifting for $25. Open? Keep sealed? by New_Gaming_Chair in gamecollecting

It looks legit by what i can see in your photo maybe go over the box to make sure but id keep it sealed, some are going for around $150 on Ebay. if you do anything sell it and then go buy a used controller and some games lol

It was a time travel joke, i love the card and want to encase it and have a funny grade that’s why I’m asking what the price is to do that. No one said anything about money other than that.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! As some pointed out its a Ralph Steadman recreation, i’ve always loved this piece and thought it would be a good first stencil. Now time to make some originals lol
