I've been a primarily a print & digital designer since 1999. Yeah, I'm old. But one of my long time food truck clients just entered into the fresh packaged retail food business so here I am venturing into food label design. Suprising how much compliance/required info goes into food label design. Not too mention how much I'm having to draw upon the psychology of color theory & element placement I'm having to draw upon. I have a whole new respect for packaging designers.

[@fishnet1853]

thanks you for your respect , im working as packing designer since 2017 , it was good experience for me but most time im facing issue about design idea , i got stuck many times also i had issue with how to choose right font , but most of my designs get client satisfaction

[@estherjohnson5880]

This comment right here. I have to read on theory & element placement then also the psychology of colour

[@estherjohnson5880]

Thank you

As a candle business owner, I LOVED seeing your process with this. I've been in business since 2021 and hope to save up enough money in the next few years to have some proper branding done. Your product turned out absolutely beautiful and your experience really shined through on this project! Thanks for the inspiration as always.

[@abiconnick]

Thank you Lacey 😊 Wishing you and the business all the best!

[@AlexConstantinou]

Love how passionate you are about your work. Fascinating to watch you create this, it's amazing!

[@victoriaariyo1441]

I loved the process from start to finish, plus I think the colours were perfect. I also loved the idea behind the brand niche and the quotes, very cool (it's the little things y'know 😊 ). The packaging is very attractive and something that'd definitely catch my eye. Thanks for this, would love to see more of these process videos 🖤.

[@adedokunadeola3660]

You make branding and packaging design look fun and very comely. Your calmness in completing your designs is also noticeable. Thank you so much for the length and breadth of knowledge that you share🎉

[@monimonimon]

I totally dig the color you use for the packaging! Adding black as a combination of the pastel colors makes it feel luxurious and befitting the brand niche which makes candles as a gift (I mean of course you would want your gift to look lux to your recipient) I've watched several of your branding videos and so far I've always liked your choice of color palettes! I think color picking is definitely your strong suit! 🤩👍

[@abiconnick]

well thank you! Really appreciate the kind words 😊I do think colour palettes are one of my strong points! That and using the pencil tool, but I would like to improve when it comes to creating sub marks and brand icons! Thanks again!

[@emilyrcollard]

I recently started freelance (im studying graphic design at uni) and i have watched every single one of your videos and get so excited everytime you post on here and instagram!!! thank you for being such an inspiration!

[@thomasdesign5358]

Abi, The design stands out so nice! Being simplistic the colors and patterns work well together and really makes the packaging! No searching for what you're buying. Love the four colors that you picked and gave you options to add more in the future, thanks

How did you put the design on the 3d mockup.. Its look like you just drag.. N puff..its done..wow.. Please make tutorial

[@maresaiz]

I learned in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGqzanWforKXY7M

[@larylrispoli1540]

That’s why I thought at the end of the video...

[@lionsdendesigns4381]

Naah it’s quite easy, if you have photoshop for example you can search for mock-up where you can drag ur design onto it and most of them automatically fit perfectly. So 90% of the time putting it on a mock-up is quite easy

[@bloo-]

If you have illustrator it's quite easy just use the perspective tool once the perspective grid comes out align it how you want your mockup to look in space on the perspective tool widget make sure you click the right side of the 3D cube that you want to work with drag your label and it should snap onto the 3D mockup.

[@LOONIAN]

[@renepeterhans6225]

i love the Will You Go Out w me one!!!! i would melt if i received that

[@noodlebrains]

This is amazing, you have a lovely eye for design - the problem here though (for a small startup) is that you would need to pay for the full printing on the box and on the candle which can be quite expensive. The concept of changing the colours and the quotes when most companies have a large MOQ just for one design - would bankrupt me very quickly :-( For me I’ve had to opt for a sticker label - so the design challenge is label design, should it be white or clear. Should it be a little label or a wrap around - where to position the writing. Choosing a font is also quite hard.

[@Friendstoyourend]

[@hanyeuh]

Love watching the whole process! Thanks for sharing!

[@timsaunders8679]

That looks sick, really nice end product, beautiful balance of texture and clean design. I rekon if the texture from the abstract strokes carried over to the large type then that would tie it together that little bit more. Class work though! congrats

[@abiconnick]

Thanks so much!! Yes was thinking that but didn’t want to go too OTT with the strokes whilst keeping the individual letters on there. Learning that less can be more with things like this, but thank you for the feedback really appreciate it 🙌🏻

I always watch your videos and the minute you created the logo, all I could think about was a logo mark. If you took the "&" sign and added a little flame on top, it would make a cute logo mark because it resembles a wick! 💗
