Week 6 

After getting feedback For the paper bag and book sleeve is ok can proceed, but the only thing I have to change is the post card holder as it should work better with box.

FEEDBACK


Week 4
The paper bag and book sleeve is ready for mock up but the post card holder looks very flimsy it does not hold the post card nicely but no harm trying to product out and see the outcome of it.

Week 5
The choice of paper for the paper bag is good but the sleeve and post card holder should be the same material and finishing, to give it a consistent look overall. the post card holder does not work, I have to redesign another piece for the post cards.

Week 6
The post card box sketches looks fine and all the item may proceed for submission.

Week 7 
The choice of paper and finishing for individuals item looks great and feels great, and the post card box looks so much better as compared to the previous post card holder.




REFLECTION


Experience
It was a hard process for me to create the dieline as it was my 1st time doing an actual packaging, there is some small problems I faced because I was not sure if the components that I put together in the paper bag is big enough of too small as it was my 1st time doing this. it was a project for me that I did learn a lot from by sketches to the end product.

Observation
I notice that this was a changeling project for me because it is a totally new thing for me, as I said before I did not have any experience on creating packaging. But the final outcome of my product was satisfying but I knew I could do better if I had the time.

Findings 
For this project I found out that consistency is important as a whole but, material is one of the main factor too, if we don't choose the right material it can destroy or change the look of your product. I found out that some of the material u choose when u fold it it will crack and it will make your product looks ugly, so choosing the right material is an important factor.
