packaging-final model

While working on my final model for the packaging project, I realized that I didn't really like what I had designed. I didn't see the point of it, to be honest; and the it turned out was not how I had imagined. I ended up going to bed upset the night before it was due for the final critique because I didn't have enough time or the materials to change my design.

After hearing back from my fellow classmates, I realized that my fears were legitimate, but that I also worried too much.

Some people understood the point of creating a carrier for the pineapple, while others thought it didn't make sense. One comment read "I understand why you made this, but it wouldn't convince me any more to buy a pineapple." I was afraid of people not understanding why I created a hanging strap to carry the fruit, while others understood it, but sounded underwhelmed in their comments. 

Personally, I didn't think my execution of the scheme was straightforward enough. The tag was placed in the wrong location--an inconvenient place when trying to get the strap tightened around the stem of the leaves of the pineapple, and the color scheme was not the right color in order to correspond with the colors in the fruit. Lastly, overhead projector paper is an absolute nightmare! Ink doesn't stick to it, and any pressure on top of where the ink is ruins the image.
