So today we decided on a size and shape of box to use, we are going to base our box on a net used for a current Sony Ericsson phone. We measured up the net and the I built it on Illustrator which was surprisingly easy. We had a crit. at 1 so i quickly put some of our bubble images on to the net so we could better explain what we where planning to do.
I accidentally put the image on the top of the box on the wrong way round.
Also I left all the surfaces which were going to fold away white, I realised that this didn't work very well as even when the box was all folded together a lot of the white was still visible.
After the crit. we had a few new ideas and me and Amy set about laying out a much better net. we got all the images the right way round this time. We also researched all the information that appears on the outside of the box and made sure we fitted it in on the layout.
75% scale net.
Unfortunately the ink from the laser jet printer is not that strong and a lot of it came off when we folded and assembled the box. However it gives you a good idea of what we are going for and I am pretty happy with it.
We haven't done the slip case and we are still working on the "we're better connected" type and how the type on the slipcase and box interact. Also because we are vac forming a plastic bubble for the phone to go inside of on Friday we still may have to change the dimensions of the box slightly so the bubble will fit inside it correctly.
