Software Packaging




I am going to design Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Photoshop is a graphic editing software used by many graphic designers, professional photographers, web designers and video professionals and many more professions. Adobe Photoshop started as a program called Display in 1987. It has come a long way since its debut in 1990, Photoshop 1.0. The software allows users to use their creativity and technology to retouch, manipulate and edit images.

I like No. 3, 4, and 5. That "green" theme is really heavy now so that's always appealing to be going with the flow. The abstract idea of No.4 has a lot of potential, but the past few current themes of CS has been that. No.5 is going to basics but slightly more abstract. Maybe you can work on that but have EXTREME textures shown.

I think number 4 is working the best. But the text and the abstract shapes don't seem connected to each other. Maybe you can try moving them closer together so that they align.

#2 would look great especially if the paint had a texture and it would be easy to do the other programs.

#4 is visually interesting but it might look too much like the older CS packaging.

No. 5 seems works best for me. I think its an excellent idea to use the shape of brush. Try work on the contour more and make it effective. Nice work!

It would be nice to see some photographs being used. I like 5 & 6. They look like something they would use.

2 and 4. at first i thought 2 was a barcode, which would be interesting, but now that i know its a close up of acrylic, i think thats a good idea as well. i excited to see how you handle the color experimentation for it because color combos seem to be a signature in CS. 4 is also pretty cool. It away from the clean lines in previous CS designs and goes for a more grungy-non specific shape look. With your color gradation and scribbles, i think it bring a lot of dynamic to your design.

#5 has a nice sense of flow and is modular enough to carry the other products with it. It also pays tribute to the older CS design.

i think i really like number five the best although they are all great designs. number five was the most eyecatching and i could see how you could use the different tools for the different programs. i also like number two second but number five i think works great

I really like the simplicity of #3. It's very contemporary. Removable Belt? That's a great idea. Look at the packaging for CS3. The entire package is a removable belt format. I like the cardboard color but I'm not sure if it has enough contrast with the white you are using for the belt. I think you are on the right track. good job.

Number 2 and number 6 are the most interesting to me. Good use of space and texture. I feel like number 3 is too much like their current packaging.

Number 4 and 5 works best. Number 4 almost feels as if there is too much negative space. Number 5 looks like it could work as well but the side bar appears to be unnecessary.

Great ideas so far.

I like numbers 4 and 5 because they could be success. I like abstract design in number 4. #5 is strong concept and design so i feel this one works.

I like #2 and #3.
It would be cool if #2 had a die cut to show PS cs5. I like the simplicity of #3 but it does seem to be missing some kind of icon.

Another one that seems to work id #4. Im curious to see how you will produce that abstract design. How would you incorporate this with the other programs? I don't think it would work very well if you were to choose InDesign.

Good stuff so far. Keep it up.
