    Having the cap fit under the container

    Posted on Jul 12, 2009 at 8:58 PM

    I really like the concept. I don't know if it does, but it would be good to continue just the pattern around, not the name-tag, because then the consumer can hid the name-tag if they want to. -- as in, just have the name tag once.

    Is it possible to have the cover fit under the container? I think that would be a useful feature.

      You're right, that would be a useful feature. And if I'm hearing correctly, you think the backside should feature only the background patterns and no product label of any kind, right? I think that's a great idea. Let people decide how much of the packaging they want to display.

    Structure

    This is undoubtedly a beautiful looking design. The wetfloor doesn't look excessive and the reflections upon the glass are a nice tough.

    My main (a little picky) issue is just with alignment of certain things with respect to things being parallel with each other etc. I've linked to an image and highlighted areas where I think this might be an issue. It's picky, but I hope it helps out.

      Wow, thanks for putting the time into that! You're right, the alignment isn't quite on--and actually, I've been thinking that I need to make a more "dynamic" rendering before I put this in my portfolio. I love what's going on here:

      I know it'll be a lot more work, but I'm thinking I need to come up with something more engaging than three items standing side-by-side. What do you think?

    Excellent rendering

    Like the concept, like the tins. My comment would be about the presentation of the rendering and the background in particular.

    Gray is the featured color of all your cans and the windows are also gray - a very similar tone of gray. A little bit of color in the background would be great, and perhaps a better isolation of the product (blends a bit with the window tiles).

    I like it!

      You're right, the "monotoneness" of it doesn't really help it catch your eye. If I take a few lessons from these examples:

      I think I'll have something more interesting to look at.
