Packaging Design Challenge - Young Guns Season 2 Episode 4

[@chaitanyabidkar]

I literally screamed in excitement to see the bois are back.

[@maitreyee_kal]

The main challenge for me here was to get out of my comfort zone and learn more about packaging design. I'm looking forward to seeing me grow as a designer!

[@joksansuriel6059]

I can't wait to see your design and the others. Good luck, Maitreyee. :)

[@imdxpertm]

Be positive and confident Maitreyee. You are good designer.

[@maitreyee_kal]

@@meghankreger4672 Nah! I redesigned it later on and knew I could have done better.

[@maitreyee_kal]

@@imdxpertm Thank you for the support!!

[@maitreyee_kal]

@@joksansuriel6059 Thanks!

[@opster01]

I'm really enjoying the editing on this season's Young Guns. Concise, expressive, and has more story-telling elements. Great job Ricky!

[@rickylucas]

Olivia Schlueter Kevin edited this one 🤙🏽🤙🏽 but we love that you enjoy the series!

[@opster01]

@@rickylucas Thanks for the clarification!

[@SandraSaysStuff]

I gotta say, I am _loving_ the Young Guns series. I've always been fascinated by the creative process and how it changes from person to person. This series caters to that curiosity beautifully and the editing is on point. Really looking forward to every episode!

[@riahardcastle7590]

Yay sustainability!

[@visitthespa111]

Props on taking on such a beloved and cult brand; excited to see how it turns out!

[@SimonDroog]

I loved that part too, Ria. Thanks for bringing the sustainability aspect to this challenge and hopefully the whole season. Looking forward to seeing the results!

[@ayeshah4122]

Loved it! Appreciate this thinking.

[@imdxpertm]

It's a great idea to highlight . Chris, if possible, please try to include social and environmental causes in your challenges to YG2.

[@BeatrizGarcia-eo9hd]

I see a lot of potencial in Meghan. I love how she plays with illustration and color and isn't afraid to pick an original packaging that isn't caotic or had already a bad execution. Good luck!

[@SuperAlphabetagama]

Please make longer videos with brief, process, their designs and the results included. I can not handle the suspense.

[@s.fatima5180]

I like how Ria defined what she will look for before hand, keeping in mind her principles. Reminds me of Mike Monteiro's emphasis on how designers need to start making ethical choices in choosing what projects they take on. She eliminated other countless possibilities by having this criteria, hella cool. Also, this is a good idea and challenge, might hop on to the challenge and participate too :P loving the series

[@ishtiaqhussain]

It would be great if assignments are just not handed over with brief but also each have role-play calls where they convince Chris about the payment of the assignment they should get . The one that get the most payment agreed gets extra points.

[@alexandraaikonika]

ishtiaq hussain Agreed, selling is a major emotional rollercoaster. As we can see from the previous episode, the $$$ question is one of the most intriguing. And for creative workers it is also a bit more challenging. Especially for those who are only beginning the journey and don’t feel as if they have enough skills and experience to be selling at all. I have this problem too. Loved the videos on that by The Futur, but live training conversations would be great. Just like the one in the last video.

[@AbrianCurington]

I will be interesting to see the different interpretations of the green tea. Being a tea fanatic, I wonder if they will end up with similar imagery of Japanese ladies, or if they’ll actually focus on tea history on iconography. Can’t wait for the reveal!

[@maitreyee_kal]

I wish I did more research though! but Hey! first time for everything, right?

[@AbrianCurington]

@@maitreyee_kal Haha most of my artistic career has consisted of people knowing I'm an illustrator and asking me to do something I've never done before! It's great for keeping the mind working. I'm sure yours turned out great!

[@cfowlerdesign]

I'm really excited to see where everyone else takes their designs! Some of the product choices were really interesting. White rabbit is some of my favourite candy too! 😉

[@ScientistX]

Woah, I thought it was gonna be all 5 of us from season 1

[@cfowlerdesign]

We got this dude 💪💥

[@youatethewronghotdog]

I miss your f-bombs and s-bombs yo haha

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Damn we gotta wait a whole other week ☹️ these are so fun to watch

[@LuizGustavo-tg9lt]

yeah i ended up this episode like "ok next"

[@DomenicoMarcoDiDonna]

Annie Yang - 10 point for the Settler of Catan box on her desk!

[@pavelontube]

no appreciation for Monika's "Rebel Scum" shirt?

[@thedaveko]

She is the crowd favorite right now.

[@LandonWilsonArtist]

Dang, this was just a tease. 😜 Can’t wait to see next week’s episode!

[@Storyraymond]

Sony cameras! Cool! Thats why the images where so nice:)

[@Y2Kvids]

White Rabbit ..OOOH! fav candy from my childhood.

[@yangnamstyle]

Haha glad you know it!

[@kevinchristian96]

please make some packaging course..!!!

[@anouarelmjabber9922]

you are watching it

[@Hiandres16]

Chris dropping jems, like always

[@imdxpertm]

Good start YG2 ! 👍👍👍 Including YG1 participants was great idea.

[@thechisensei]

OMG!!!! White Rabbit!!!! soooooooo nostalgic :) our fave candies in my generation :) exciting :)

[@yangnamstyle]

:) Hope you'll like the reveal this week

[@TristanBailey]

Annie I’m going on your team to vote this week, I like the package you chose with the rabbits and bonus point you had a Catan box on your table :)

[@LongTran-rc3yt]

Woo excited! Although not really understand why Conor is here again. Ss1 he commented he had too many works to focus on the design and now 2 days are all he can give? I mean if the opportunity isn't that important to him, maybe he should give it to other young guns.

[@MonikaPern]

I feel the opposite, the opportunity is important, that's exactly why he is here. He is quite busy and if this didn't matter then he woulnd't spend time participating in the challenge. Kudos to Connor for managing this and client work as well as being really efficient in his process to be able to finish this in two days.

[@cfowlerdesign]

Hey thanks for the comment I really appreciate the thought. Even if your comment is full of assumptions. During the airline phase I was bogged down with client work and didn't have the time to pursue the project as I wished. With this project I was able to carve some time out in advance, I learned from my previous scheduling mistake. I also worked on this over my weekend, on days I do not normally work. On days that I rest so, overall I'm very happy with the results for this project. Also, just to clarify your point about "letting other young guns have a go". The remaining two YG1s Sean and Sharif were unable to work on this project at all due to other commitments. So please be aware that sometimes life happens and you have to prioritise other things. I have loved and done my best to put my all into each project throughout this series and sometimes that didn't pan out as well as I hoped. We all move forward and learn though.

[@ChristianGlova]

Watching these Young Guns makes me want to challenge myself with this project!

[@arpit982]

This is amazing. Can't wait for the meaty next episode!

[@congtuyennguyen845]

tks all, so much!

[@satyapriyamahto]

Arun is back.

[@brandonkalyan]

Gosh i need more, love that surprised twist in the end, hope the guys dont disappoint!

[@rodaparicio_]

The twist it took when YGS1 were announced... love it!

[@jayemarsh6231]

These designers are smart and brave. Brava!

[@jasonstorey9545]

Always loved these challenges. A LOT to be learned from these videos and watching their creative processes as well as all the critiques.

[@mitigiant5328]

As a multicultural designer myself, I would have to say that it is important to understand the language, scripture, and also the culture very well for designing in another language.

[@oyggraphics9596]

Thank you Sony. Thank you The Futur for sharing this.

[@ronnieyap1001]

good choice for Annie! White rabbit had yet change their design for more than 10 years!

[@yangnamstyle]

Right?? So much potential in the brand

[@thechisensei]

good choice on Bragg. planned to redesign it cz ive been looking at one in my kitchen cz it might really need some design. it just looks like a flyer pasted to the bottle. brilliant and 'eco friendly choice'!!! :)

[@armcezar8106]

Daaamn! You guys got sponsored by Sony? That’s amazing!

[@thefutur]

yes. they sent us cameras for the YG2 crew.

[@stonemarshy]

hahaha I love the way spencer said bimbimbap

[@sofiaribeiro8688]

Can't wait to see the results

[@foodwithsoy]

i love thiiiisss

[@LuizGustavo-tg9lt]

when do you guys will release critique of this episode? i can't wait anymore

[@thefutur]

hang tight.

[@user-tg6xn5xt8v]

This is amazing, can't wait to see what they come up with! Very helpful since i'm still developing my own design process.

[@franciscoleyva4378]

Can't wait to see the results!

[@Oljyttybasisti]

Here I am, listening to that last song that plays while Arun talks over and over again. Such a good background song for videos imo! Any chance you could share the artist and song name?

[@afnanaldimasi]

looking forward to the next episode!

[@wanpotutu1285]

So curious for ep 5.

[@markb.8460]

10:23 OMG Chirs! Great idea!

[@lyreparadox]

I'll be curious to see if the question of stereotypes comes up when designing for a specifically "ethnic" product.

[@burtos]

This series has me hooked! I'm definitely going to try this too. It seems really fun and challenging.

[@thefutur]

You should participate

[@boblin7174]

Can’t wait to see the final result👍

[@Fabitalism]

@Connor Fowler where you've got those vector brushes from? Looks nice! (:

[@cfowlerdesign]

I think these ones were from Design Cuts??? I honestly cannot remember off the top of my head. But would recommend checking out their brush and vintage vector packs 👌

[@satyapriyamahto]

Monica will win this design challenge..

[@emanuelegurini]

wooooo, i saw my favourites biscuits Gentilini! much love

[@thechisensei]

wow Sony!! :) tnx to Sony :)

[@thedaveko]

Interesting color grading choice. Going for a more filmic look?

[@ChrisWalkman]

best show ever!

[@EthanRom]

oh dear that plot twist

[@KWang-yy2qk]

The candy is really good.

[@brianfong5711]

Maybe another requirement could have been, you can't pick a product that is identical to your ethnicity. Looking at you Annie! That Rabbit candy is good, but I would love to see you tackle a much more exotic and alien package challenge. All the other designers have gimped themselves with foreign packages. Having them dig themselves outta that research hole, well that make makes for good television.

[@opster01]

I think I understand your main notion is that Annie should have picked something more unfamiliar, right? Friendly note that Ria picked an American brand (Mother's Apple cider vinegar) which is in a language and culture that she is probably familiar with. Also, there seems to be an assumption that because White Rabbit is a Chinese candy and Annie (who may be Chinese?), would have familiarity with the packaging and language of the candy. However, you don't know if she has familiarity with the language and you don't know if she is familiar/comfortable with Chinese product design. Im korean but am not familiar with the korean language. As an Asian American I probably would have picked something fun that I grew up with like White Rabbit or Pocky. However, having lived in America my whole life, I have more knowledge of western packaging. Not trying to grill you, just trying to point out in hopefully a respectful manner some of the assumptions that were made in your comment.

[@yangnamstyle]

Haha I get where you are coming from, but I feel like this was still hard for me even though I was familiar with this product growing up. I also knew people would be excited to see such an iconic childhood brand be redesigned:)

[@1989Selenne]

I don't know about the rice choice and vinegar for the challenge, doesn't seem to fit the ethnic theme. Every country in the world uses these 2 products. Anyone had the same thoughts as me?

[@Lanijiro]

Amazing channel! Thanks for all the uploads.

[@mohamedsaeed641]

How can I reach this level of design ? to plan and design a package what do I need to learn? I already know the basics of graphic design and a working knowledge of software like (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign )

[@papitodo]

I feel like the upload consistency has dropped. Really looking forward to some more sized content.

[@summerjanette2124]

These are so cool and fun to watch! I might do this just for fun

[@rustunurilham8046]

superb!

[@pavelontube]

I demand for Hanson - MMMBop to be playing in the background, when the "Bibim Bap" segment is being reviewed!

[@thefutur]

Haha

[@crepanna]

Think I might follow along with this challenge. How long did the young guns get for this? 🍃

[@crepanna]

@@MatthewEncina Thank you Matthew~ looks like I'm going to the store tonight 🙌🏽

[@marcthedesigner]

I think that is a great idea! ill follow suit

[@crepanna]

@@marcthedesigner oooh, I like this~ we got this Marc 😊

[@odararumbol8781]

this is sooo good!

[@nl9658]

subscribed! and loving it! I can really relate because I was studying graphic design and when I finished the course I felt like I kinda lost my skill, by watching this video I feel like refuelled and ready to open up my illustrator and practice more my skills. Anyway, is this on Netflix or just in KZbin?

[@thefutur]

We're glad it recharged your interest! We're only airing here on KZbin and snippets across our other social media channels like FB and IG.

[@antonysmitherson4949]

Wait, so you say: You can not change colors! And then you say: "You can change typefaces, colors, materials and finishes". Im confused

[@thefutur]

you can't change the brand colors.

[@baosy3751]

brand new color science

[@cweb1988]

I love this!

[@jamiesweet4352]

I kinda wish they showed the end result of the package design they made.

[@thefutur]

Next episode

[@jamiesweet4352]

The Futur ooh okay thanks for letting me know

[@paulohenriquegomesmatias3266]

Hi from Brazil. If i do purchase a course at the futur academy, the stylescapes 01 for example, i will have it in discount if i wanna upgrade to a bigger course pack?

[@thefutur]

No. You get the discount at the time of purchase.

[@Jj-rq9sp]

I was hoping the YG1 that came in second would be one of the three selected to participate. Bummer

[@thefutur]

They were all invited but only 3 show up.

[@Jj-rq9sp]

The Futur Oh ok. Thanks for responding. We appreciate the three that responded even more; and wont judge the Brit too harshly for saying he doesn't have time. he clearly does appreciate the opportunity, he showed up while some didnt.

[@cfowlerdesign]

@@Jj-rq9sp thank you for making note of that. I worked damn hard for the two days I had available. The two weeks we were given we not meant to be "working on it every day for two weeks", that is just the project window. So, for me personally I am very happy with the result I created in two days and am excited to share the finished thing!

[@stephanslydignjohn639]

damn! i'm late for class, present!

[@abdurashidibaydullaev5206]

👍

[@satyapriyamahto]

I thought Monica had won episode 2..

[@banjosdaily]

if your eyes stuck somewhere in 9:09... macha.. enthund vishesham ??

[@andriytodorov]

Please correct Anastasia's surname "VLASENKO", not "Valsenko"

[@Jj-rq9sp]

Did I miss YG S2E5?

[@thefutur]

No. Soon.

[@aly5066]

I get the point of bringing the s1 young guns back but ughhh. i like them i just wish it was completely focused on the girls

[@maitreyee_kal]

I think we will learn too from YG1! but us girls are ready to take a challenge!

[@MarkFaamaoni]

@@MatthewEncina To be honest: the "competition" aspect of this is the least appealing thing about the series for me at least. The first season was really "tone deaf" in not casting any women. You fixed that for season two. But bringing back the guys is just tone-deaf again. Its almost as if you don't trust the women to bring the "clicks" or be competitive. And the guys have already done this and had coaching and critique and you can't pretend they don't have a significant advantage. There is nothing fun about watching an unfair competition. You can do a cross-over at the end of the season. But it looks like you've changed the rules 4 episodes in and that really isn't fair.

[@Jj-rq9sp]

Mark Faamaoni They may decide to have t A winner for the girls and one for the guys and an overall winner so its both fair and allow the girls to know how they stack up against the guys? Just a thought

[@Rzeiir]

First!

[@johnnyliu3D]

omg 大白兔

[@LudmilaT.]

Why is oriental offensive?

[@thefutur]

It describes objects and not people.

[@LudmilaT.]

@@thefutur Oh, i didn't realize someone would use that for people. Isn't that correct term for food then, though? That's the context mentioned in the video, that's why i was confused.

[@bigbadbear770]

Why exactly is the term oriental offensive? jeez..
