Pancake Packaging Design | FULL DESIGN PROCESS (Pt. 3)

[@BrandonShep]

And that wraps up our series! If you stuck around till the end, thanks so much for watching! Let me know what you think about the final presentation. I should note that I made a few alterations on the final image that weren't on the video: - Increased the Contrast - Adjusted the Colors to turn the darker areas a bit more blue - Added a rim light around the edges of the bags to help separate them from the background - Darkened the edges of the images to bring more focus to the bags

[@ausrei111]

Awesome stuff, incredibly informative. Thank you!

[@TheChromePoet]

You're incredible man.

[@madedeva1841]

Hellow there and sorry for being 2 years late :D , and im kinda curious a little bit about something... Are they ended up using your desing in their package? Like... it must be REALLY painful if they doesn't and just reject it isn't it?

[@BrandonShep]

@@madedeva1841 This wasn't for a client, just for KZbin :)

[@shibanakano]

Dude why don't you try A.I design Vs yours

[@f3r_95]

Every time that you added a new element I was like "nooo, it was perfect before, you're ruining it" but seconds later you shut my mouth, I love it

[@BrandonShep]

Lol, I've had that feeling many times when watching other people. Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching!

[@SchibbiSchibbi]

yeah, same here.. the particles blew me away

[@solatic9800]

Just like Bob Ross!

[@apurv5847]

Same.😂 The windows, I thought just leave the background black, focus on the main product just to see it really blended well

[@Sarcasshole]

Brandon Shepard is the embodiment of "bro just trust the process"

[@CaptainMeleon]

i'm 2 years late but i gotta say, this video series is incredible! not only as a design class but also teaches stuff like lighting and composition. loved it

[@allenroughton]

I really loved this series! You're one of the few designers that can really articulate why you make each of your design choices. It's also great to see you doing design styles outside of just the minimalism that's rampant on graphic design KZbin.

[@BrandonShep]

I consider myself an anti-minimalist lol

[@harshineerajkumar3624]

Please never stop these! The 5 minute videos are so great for quickly understanding your approach but these videos have bridged the gaps in the interface as well! Learnt so many cool tricks and tips to actually be able to execute the ideas. The final mock up just looks heavenly. To think that pancake mix can look so good, ooof

I found this video when I was searching for packaging design on youtube, This channel is GOLD !

[@BrandonShep]

Glad you found the channel :) Enjoy!

[@tooneysailor]

You're an ACTUAL design legend!

[@thursday4499]

I’ve never been so satisfied watching someone make a pancake mix cover.

[@TheNightstalkerShow]

Naturally, I went to Google shopping to see if they accepted and used your design... but they don't appear to be a real brand. What I did find, however, are a collection of TERRIBLY designed packages of pancake mix by every brand! Your design wins, hands down!

[@mahammedalimu1837]

Oh man, this is by far the most informative and entertaining design video I've ever come across. You got me worried every time you add a new layer/element thinking it already looked great and you don't need it but shortly after you get it there I'm like wow, did not see that coming. Love your channel, waiting on your next video.

[@BrandonShep]

So happy you liked it! Worked really hard on this series, and I'm glad so many people found it helpful. More videos coming very soon :)

[@goodness6664]

The only reason I’m pointing this out is because everything else is so spot on perfect: the text in some areas doesn’t bend with the crease of the paper bag like it would in real life, and everything else is so realistic this stands out. Also the top of the pile of powder in the spoon can use some more realistic edges, it kinda looks cut out.. other than that, this is genius, you are genius, I love all of your designs and overall style

[@Stardoll257]

Totally amazing! I’m so blown away! You showed me that combining different photos and elements isn’t supposed to be so difficult as a make it sometimes. I hope there would be more “long explanatory” videos in the future! Also I would love to see a video all about understanding light and how it affects objects.

[@BrandonShep]

So happy you liked it, Gabi! I think that vast majority of the time, it just comes down to finding the right assets at the right angles (and generally spending a long time doing so lol). Will certainly make more of these longer videos in the future. And I've had several other people say they'd like a video about lighting/shading, so I'll put that one in the pipeline for the near future!

[@fraicheness]

It has been absolute pleasure to watch this series. Please do more long-form designs like this.

[@Mere_dithM]

I swear you are a magician... it looks so fake one second and then so real the next. amazing!

[@BrandonShep]

Haha, glad you liked it! It's just a lot of little things that, when stacked together, seem to be more than the sum of their parts

[@bookofthoughtsx]

Woah! Every time I think its complete, you add another detail and I ask myself how did I not see that? Brilliant, brilliant work Brandon!

[@visualistener]

You're amazing. How is it you don't have 100 thousand more subscribers? Thank you for sharing your passion/talents!!!!!

[@itplop]

WOW. I was fully entertained through this whole little series. I’ve never done graphic design but this is so inspiring!!!! You are amazing!

[@BrandonShep]

[@catherinenguyen_]

It’s 4 years later and I’m still watching this series. It’s so nice to just watchh

[@kaoutherakid4433]

Nice! Would love to see how you go from here to prepare the file for printing. The technical part of packaging design is usually overlooked, so it would be great if you can cover the whole process from conception to execution and delivering the ready-to-print file. Thanks Brandon! 😊

[@BrandonShep]

Didn't have a file template that corresponded to this package mockup, but I'll definitely try to show that process with another project sometime in the future!

[@JeegiWebDesign]

@@BrandonShep still waiting for that video of implementing mock-up design into the template. That is going to be really interesting to watch. If you already put that video up on YT please let me know. Thanks a lot. Love your work and channel.

[@IkeDesign]

Bumping this ! I was about to comment on that. You've designed on top of the packaging, so I assume there are some awkward-looking corners hanging outside the paper bag shape that wouldn't fly if copy pasted onto the flat print-ready template. Also CMYK is uhhgggh......

[@cesaramaral7007]

@@BrandonShep have you done a video on that? I'm scrolling through your channel rn

[@timbertown.vintage]

I'd be interested to see this too... Photoshop mock-ups are amazing for visualization, but how does that convert to the Print Industry template standards that are required for offset printing (bleed, overprint, etc.)?

[@hosseinrezapour251]

[@timothybaguma6477]

Dude you're something else. Amazing!!

[@dcbandit]

Something I've learned from observing the world, light can reflect off of everthing, and leaves the color of the reflection on the shadows of the closest object, like how the powder would maybe leave a white reflection in the shadows of the bags. It's kinda like how shadows outside are blue in tone on sunny days, it's because of the blue sky being reflected into the shadows. I'd imagine in this scene the shadows would be rather dark but get a saturation of the surrounding color in the lighter areas of the shade, so brown would be the predominant color, with some white near the mix.

[@directedbyericsattler]

youre masterful with the shadows!

[@mnrdivis]

This looks so good. One question, would there not be information about what is in the ingredients? Example: the possible allergens in the flour etc?

[@akkidilbar1]

Great work mate...

[@shubhaay]

I practiced many times but didn't get perfect shading and now I get the right spot and how to use it. Thank you brother and wow 😮

[@Raffiarslanian961]

Unbelievable !!! As another person mentioned, when u added an new element i was like “nooo you just ruined it” and then after all the shadows and the light and …. My mind was blown away

Hey Brandon, great channel. Very good presentation and design skills mate. You inspire me alot. So, im new to package design (not to graphic design but the packaging it self), and i was wondering if you could perhaps add videos for beginners about technical stuff too ? Print ready files, font selections and licence issues, which fonts you could use and also stocks etc. Great work so far, keep the videos coming bud :) well done.

[@BrandonShep]

Hey, Bertan! Glad you're liking the videos man. Might make some more beginner level content in the future. There's a lot of that type of info already out there, which is why I'm doing more intermediate/advanced content right now. But I have had several people ask for more beginner content. I'm considering making a full Intro to Design course (paid most likely) in the near future that covers everything someone would need to know to get started with design. Do you think that would be interesting?

[@NosefU]

Although it's all very cool, but where are the blocks for information about the manufacturer, ingredients, expiration date, storage conditions, the barcode and other important things for the manufacturer, the seller and the consumer? It all takes up a lot of space that you forgot to keep. If you assumed it would all be printed on the sides of a paper bag, literally no one does that

[@joanalima2331]

So informative, I learned a lot. Thank you so much! I would love to see more videos from you.

[@BrandonShep]

So glad you liked it! More coming soon :)

[@ronadish1]

It's such a great design, I wonder why we don't see more products in that style

Tip from an artist who draws light beams on Everything: if you tap a big airbrush eraser on the bottom center of the beams a little bit it gives a more accurate falling off look
