To get started, learn the structure and hierarchy of necessary pack content with this template and video
Not at all! Some students have packaging experience and are here to refine their process and learn from an expert, whereas some students are totally new to packaging. As long as you have brand and graphic design experience, that’s all you need.
No, you can open any module at any time and you do not have to pass a module to move on.
It's better! You'll have non-stop asynchronous 1-1 support inside Slack for 4 weeks starting January 13th and x1 Live AI Mockup Training on January 21st 3pm UK time.
During this time, you can submit an offer or project pricing structure for and a project or portfolio page for review, where I'll record a personalised loom for you, up to 10 minutes. This is instead of a live call as it means I can answer/help you with more depth and get the chance to help you all individually. Live calls are great, but with time-zone differences and busy schedules, this way is more flexible and more supportive.
You can also ask unlimited questions via text or voice-note inside Slack too.
Self study means you'll be diving into the content at your leisure, at your own pace and without support from me or the community.
The group course means you'll consume the content at your leisure *and* then you'll also have ongoing support from me and the cohort community, where you can ask questions and submit your tasks for a personalised review. The group phase will go live in January to allow you time to watch the videos and come prepared with the tasks and questions.
I don’t because the focus of the course is designing brands with a product at the center annnnd I do not believe that designers need to be involved this. Packaging design is so much more than dieline creation and my method doesn't require you to get caught in the weeds with this,
Absolutely, the majority of students are US based and whilst I teach UK / EU regs I also share info for US too. I have students from all over the world. Also note that this topic is one very small piece of the course, that covers way more overall.
Videos vary from 7 minutes to 20. On average each module totals, 60-90 minute viewing time. I recommend watching 1 module per week but most students prefer to dip in and out, and watch the content at times when they need specific help.
Yes! Provided you've worked on branding and design in the past and are familiar with Illustrator. I wouldn't recommend this for total graphic design beginners however; you need some basics.
Course content for the 24/25 re-release will be available for 6 months, after which time you’ll be able to reenrol for a continued, small monthly fee. Please email me for details on this.
