I’ve been watching you since I was 21 years old and now, I’m 23 years old and still here! Thank you for inspiring me for that long (and counting) 🥹I’ll always support you & your dreams 🤍🦋

thank you for everything you do, genuinely. its so rare to see designers follow through on processes when they don't have to and your time and editing is soooo much appreciated in helping us get a better understanding of how things work. i hope you're able to take care of yourself!! thank you again :)

Omg love this!! Much needed tutorial and it looks gorgeous as always!!! 🤩😍 Girl your styles are so lit!!!! Keep it up 🎀 Also, I think the cream on pink looks pretty and have better contrast 🌼

Your channel has been so helpful for my journey

I discovered and subscribed to your channel a month ago and I love it so much ! Everything is so clear, thorough, and well-detailed each time. As an aspiring graphic designer who keeps learning and perfecting her skills daily I feel like have learned so much so far although I still have a long road ahead of me ! Thanks for providing such great resources and I definitely enjoy your videos and learn so much from them! I can't wait for your next video !☺

I loveeee your video's Abi, amazing. Thank you for serving all your knowledge so we can learn. :)

Your content is so amazing and you're crazily creative!

The production level of Abby’s videos has always stood out to me - I truly appreciate the effort and dedication as well as value her content provides. Keep up the awesome work, will always support her and her channel 🫶

I'm so glad I found your channel your editing makes it so engaging and makes graphic design feel fun unlike some text books I own. Thank you for sharing so much info💜 Ngl wish I could work as fast as you idk how you can narrate and produce work that good at the same time🤣

Abi I just noticed the background and saw the lighting, done according to your brand colors.....it's so inspiring to see your dedication to all these miniature details

Really really great process video as always, Abi! 🔥🔥

GIRL you are such an inspiration, Thank you

Abi is just so helpful.

so talented and helpful!

This taught me more than years of college! Thank Abi!

Abi your content is so incredibly informative and useful! I'd be very curious to see your design process for rebranding a business that provides both services and products :)

Thanks for sharing the knowledge . Loved the video.

this video is simply amazing -- thank you so much!!!

LOVED your video, thank you. It inspired me

thank you soooo much for all the valuable information youre sharing

So helpful all your tips, you really make me want to do creative things ♥♥

Great job on the design 👏! Very eye catching, attention getter!

Your Voice And Talking Style Very Heart Touch and Beautiful 😍♥ Thanks for Teaching

Hi, I just discovered your channel. Wow, your designs are gorgeous. I follow you from Sardinia with great pleasure.

I MISS YOU AND YOUR AMAZING VIDEOS ABI ❤

You are amazing abi I love 💘 your designs 😍

These tips and tricks really helped and the packaging design looks so pretty! I was wondering if you could make a video about how to start freelancing as a graphic designer? Like how to go about with creating a contract and/or any advice? Thank you Abi for your wonderful, insightful, and helpful videos! Subscribed!

Damn, watching you do this really has me inspired to follow my graphic design path:-)

Love what you did with the packaging. I think the orange and cream together would create a really cool balance for the packaging. maybe orange for the logo and cream and orange for the illustration? Kind of a mix and match? 🥰

You are amazing abi

Thank you so much for making this video! I just got hired for my first packaging job, and I feel a lot more confident now then what I did 13 min ago

Beautiful

Very useful thank you ♥

i luv luv luv your channel

Nice and inspirational

I was running here I always wanna be the first to watch ❤ Cuz m always learning here love Abi ❤❤

Hi Abi thanks for the video. I wanted to request next time you're doing something similar, If you could go a little more into choosing dielines, I'd really love that.

Project Manager at a corrugated packaging company here! Love the video and how you clearly break down each step. I have watched a few of your videos and they are all very well made and give a bunch of great info; you're very talented! Another question that may be important to ask the client is how they are going to be distributing these packages. Remember that freight/delivery is not always kind to packages... There is a potential that the lighter design may get scuffed up through transport (Kraft material wouldn't show this as much). But the beautiful print on the inside--what a lovely surprise when a customer opens up! I've seen where some designs are very basic Kraft (brown material) on the outside and white on the inside, where you can really showcase the design and make a great experience for the end user. Another point to consider when designing for print is trap lines. If printing using flexographic technology, the orange and the pink will need a trap line--as you stated, there will be movement during the printing process. A trap line is when you bleed a lighter color into the darker color (think about 1/8 inch) so you don't have any white gaps peeking through. One last note... "cardboard" is sort of a derogatory term in our business 😉We use the word "corrugate". Just had to share! Would love to connect if you had any questions about printing/corrugated packaging!

youve just earned a new sub! :D (im a graphic design student 🦋💖)

Hey Abi, do you happen to know how to make a custom box template with a clear plastic cut out? I want to make sure that it's properly formatted when I send it to the manufacturer.

This is a great video!!

As a web designer, videos like this only make us better.

Nice design and process! The reason why you see most competitors using the brown cardboard box with a single color print is simple - cost. While stunning, your design will likely triple the cost per box because it is a multi-color double-sided print. It also means the packaging is less sustainable since it uses way more ink. Usually you see this type of premium packaging design in retail packaging, where it's a lot more important to stand out amongst the crowd, but for wholesale/online delivery it becomes mostly unnecessary and just eats into the margins, as the purpose of the box is to protect the product during shipping. Ultimately though it's up to the client to decide if that additional cost and the risk of being perceived to have excessive packaging is worth it.

very valuable content, thnaks

I've been asked where did I learn most of design and where do I get inspiration from! I literally look and left and right, make sure there's enough space and look them in the eye like Bond(James Bond)😂😅 and call your name😍 Thanks Abi, You're the best

This is super helpful, can we get a video on what to consider when producing a packaging file for design? Exporting, sending files etc

thank you for the helpful video! one question - how do you keep the original outline visible on top of the added bleed shape?? When i created the shape with the shape builder it doesn't show the original outline unless im clicking on it.

Always getting value. thanks 🔴🥰

i'm new in this field, i asked similar questions to chatgpt and generated a whole concept and started designing based on that concept would love to see you interview it too in the next fictional brand video :D

Could you make a video showing how to prepare a base like the one in the video for printing? In the video you have the cutter of the inner side of the box turned upside down, is it supposed to be like that when delivering the file to the printing house? Please help

thank you for the value you delivered on this video! A quick question, is there a case where we, as the designers, need to create the dieline template ourselves from scratch? If so, any tips on that?

Always doing a great job. Helped me grow as a designer as well. If you can, could you do a wine label packaging at some point? I feel like wine label packaging takes some kind of different approach and style. Thanks

Amazing!

Abi never disappoint us

Love it ❤

Any tips on pricing for brands that are in major stores. I always did packaging in house so I'm clueless on what to charge

Thanks!

Again I am amazed how easy you draw! Is it something behind the scene or you just genius?)) For similar complexity of a pattern I spent several days😅

just ammazzing I like it

Thanks for responding so fast. Last week of January I got my first client project and I was having trouble designing the packaging because of colour format Thanks a lot 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you sooo much for sharing the design process for packaging. Can you tell us which freelancing platform you recommend for new designers to work with ❓

Love and Respect From Pakistan 🇵🇰

Hi I'm from India and want to learn package designing from you right from begining do you provide any online class

Using colours like this for packaging will bring a much higher cost for the client. Should we ask about their budget? What about the type of material? Should they tell us or should we suggest it to them? There are different types of paper suitable for boxes.

Nice content as always, Abi! Btw can you add some links of the gear you use for your content? At least you can do affiliate link.

Thanks a lot Abi, for this video. I just want to ask how long it takes to complete a branding project. Can you make a video on it showing us how long each of the stages take? I would greatly appreciate it. thank you in advance.

Hola! Necesito esas plantillas de las cajas para diseñar el packaging. Alguien puede decirme donde encontrarlas? Completad con interior y exterior. Gracias

I feel you've failed to consider using the box in the real world, practical environment. Whilst the logo looks great where is it on the outer lip of the box, for most manufacturers I believe that will be the point at which the box is sealed closed and whilst clear packaging tape could be used, many sellers are preferring the eco-friendly paper tape with water activated glue, which is just going to cover the key points, at the only place that they are on the box!

I know I mentioned on another video that I hated packaging design, but lately I've been doing it and quite enjoying it.

wat app can i use to design my packaging

Love to hear your thoughts on why you're not designing them in CMYK color mode? Wouldn't it affect the color when you send them off for printing?

Thanks

amazinggg

Thanks for inspiration... Please can you recommend course I can take on product packaging design

Hey can you make a video about the file setting for printing, because I know design but then I have no idea how to print it as a fully usable package. Thank you!

Mam I have done my graphic design course . But I have no income resources can you help me

I have a question for you! Do you think it's viable to learn design like this with just photoshop? I have a friend who has the photography adobe bundle, and she wants to start learning too. I spent the majority of my time on illustrator and don't really know photoshop (as well) so I can't advise. Would you say investing in illustrator from the get-go is the way to go?

I need this stunning lady in Adobe Max event

Can you make a video about what if a client doesn’t have a dieline and what to do

Why its RGB not Cmyk its printed so CMYK?

How are you so confident on camera? looks so natural..

Full color is a lot more expensive. Does your brand have higher markups?

How much time you ask for designing a logo, when a new client come... i mean i want to know to make the initial concepts how much time you generally take?

سہی ہو گیا مجھے ساری سمجھ آگئی ہے

What model of Macbook do you use for designing?

Would I be able to hire you to design a couple of boxes for me? If so, please let me know how we can discuss.

Are you taking on clients? I am in need of your expertise 🙏

Will those red lines interfere with the design? Your texture there. If yes why? If no why not?
