I studied graphic design at Maryland Institute College of Art, graduating in 2009 Magna Cum Laude.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating, I decided to travel west to San Diego, CA to discover the West Coast design world. Now as a freelance designer, I acquired a few unique jobs as a package designer for companies in Canada and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>In my free time I\u2019m either at the beach, roller blading on the boardwalk, or exploring my new found home in Cali. I love the warm weather and array of diverse people who call this place home.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"could-you-tell-us-about-the-design-you-made-for-%e2%80%9cthe-kinder-kids%e2%80%9d-audio-book\"><\/span><strong>Could you tell us\u00a0 about the design you made for &#8220;The Kinder Kids&#8221; Audio Book.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/cd_04b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-721\" title=\"cd_04b\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/cd_04b-520x293.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"293\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/cd_05b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-722\" title=\"cd_05b\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/cd_05b-520x261.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"261\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Kinder Kid\u2019s audio books offer an interactive and whimsical approach to Dr. Seuss classic stories.<\/p>\n<p>I designed a storage sleeve with two movable trays within the CD\u2019s holder allowing both sides of the package to simultaneously open revealing the inner content.<\/p>\n<p>The Packaging was inspired by the children&#8217;s thick chipboard stylebook. I wanted the packaging to be as engaging as the stories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-did-you-make-this-design\"><\/span><strong>How did you make this design?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I first developed a die cut using Illustrator and hand drawn sketches.<\/p>\n<p>Then I applied graphics and typography to the desired areas of the layout. The lay out includes two sliding panels front and back, and one band that wraps around its-self creating the outer box-shell.<\/p>\n<p>Next I printed out the design on photo quality ink jet paper. Then used spray adhesive to bond the design to my material. I used 3ply white board as my base for the package.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I cut it all out using the die cuts I had created and scored, folded, and glued as need.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Thanks for sharing that to us. Now here&#8217;s a question we ask all of our featured designers: What do you think is a good package?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I believe all good designs speak without a sound and the best design is the one that communicates directly to the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>As a designer, I love the challenge to design for both thrifty products and high-end products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks Lindsey for sharing to us your time and talent.
