Cereal Box Design

The assignment in my Illustrator II class was to design the layout for a cereal box. We were allowed to use the template from the tutorial we did of a cereal box and we could use an existing name brand but we had to create our own cereal name, design a logo for that cereal and design the layout. For the front panel I took a picture of a spoon of cereal and masked everything out except for the spoon of cereal. I added cheese colored marshmallow cereal bits to the spoon of cereal for cheesecake bits. For the cereal logo I traced a slice of strawberry cheesecake. For the back panel I found a picture of a family eating breakfast. Originally there was only one cereal bowl. I used photoshop to modify the picture. I copied the half of the cereal bowl visible in front of the boy and copied it again only I flipped it horizontally to create the other half of the boil. Then I copied it twice more putting one in front of the sister and also one in front of the father. I copied the front panel of the cereal box and placed it on the front of a picture of a cereal box to give it depth and placed it in front of the gallon of milk which was in the original picture. I created a recipe card and added a banner which I copied from the banner I had created for my corporate identity logo.
