June 8th-12th

The prototype of the Thomas sand pit with storage fabric arrived on monday as well as the stickers that I had the thomas the sand pit graphics printed on. I assembled the fabric onto the Thomas sand pit and applied the stickers. It is so surprising how much of a difference the fabric made in making the item look more like a licensed Thomas the tank item. The prototype will be packed up and sent over to the Thomas the tank people for them to check out and see if they want to go through with making this product. I was also working on a few designs for the packaging of a sanpit and swing set.One of the designers had finished the illustration of kids playing with the product and I arranged a background and used the illustration he made on the package. The photo of the actual product was not very good and even after I photoshoped grass and sand to make it appear as if it were outside, it still looked bad. Finally I grabbed Chris and we carried the sandpit outside and I just took new photos there. The image is a small part to the packaging since the main image is the illustration, but i think it helps show off the product a little more. I also continued working on some of the packaging that I created last week, revising it and adding the correct warnings and information on them.
