When designing the wrap or whatever, the company always keeps their colors in mind as it’s their identity so for example for McDonald’s whenever you see red and yellow u instantly think of McDonald’s, same for subway that is why u should keep their original logo colors

I don't care how great the packaging looks, these fast-food joints are still too expensive all because they're giving out $15-20/hr minimal wages to a bunch of people who always seem to get your order wrong every single time. They need to hurry up and automate already. However your designs are awesome.

[@Lqvmr_]

10:35 facts.

[@M0st4rd4Official]

2:01 reparing the logo just to hide it lol😂

[@chrisr267]

Love the Taco Bell design, but as someone who did the pricing/cost for a very large packaging company, the printing would be a complete nightmare to complete, and would cost a significant amount of $/1000 prints. Most commercial paperboard prints can have 6, maybe 7 colors + a coating per pass, and an additional color pass nearly doubles the cost. With all of the intricate design on it, spoilage would also cut into cost. The paperboard carton for the taco would cost more than the ingredients for the taco itself.

[@mavildo7318]

Damn but the idea of the video make it look expensive

[@BrandonShep]

This channel is all about dreams, not reality 🤣

[@leftear99]

This is actually a fascinating take. So many comments here imply that brands are dropping the ball or are bad at design, when reality is the the commenters don't have the full picture. Would enjoy seeing Brandon try a "business friendly" design challenge once day and show how tough it might be.

[@chrisr267]

@@leftear99 That sounds like a fantastic idea! I could easily give him some parameters that are industry standard, and see if he can make another masterpiece using those. A lot goes into packaging other than just design and material. Sometimes designs just aren't possible without specialty equipment.

[@creechieuihana]

I'm sorry to be a critiquing nerd, but I don't think the Subway wrapper redesign would work for, well, a wrapper. You've done it before with Steamed Hams, right? This looks more like a design for a box the sandwich would be kept in. Also, the Taco Bell design IS better, don't get me wrong... but it feels more like Taco Bell during an event than a more expensive Taco. You'd need a more painted style like the murals you see all around a Mexican restaurant. And this is optional, but making the brand name something like "Bell de Taco" would sell the authentic (and more expensive) feeling far better. Fortunately, the Apple Pie box looks just fine. You're still a great brand designer. Keep at it!

I am so curious to know where your inspiration comes from when coming up with a (re)design. Take this video for example: do you walk around a grocery store and take note of all the details on the packaging of healthy foods, or do you just come up with it at the spot? You always nail it! 🤠✨
