Viva - Smart Puffs Baby Character

Original packaging design
(I created the start on top and
redistributed the other items)
At Viva Nutritional Product, we thought the Smartpuffs package design was ready to go, but apparently China doesn't allow real baby's on their packaging. 

So here are some designs I put together to substitute the existing baby. So far were not loving the designs. Think it's because the original baby is just so cute. But here are some proofs that I put together and eventually we will finalize a design.

Sketches of Doggy Treat Mascot


I  am designing the packaging for the new Vermont Valley Doggy Treats.

<< This is the final mascot dog that will go onto all of the packaging and a lot of the promotional material. <<


>>The white dog to the right was originally designed as a sample idea by the printer. Glenn Rudin, the VV Doggy Treat creator, asked me to create something similar to the original style but cuter and more personal.>>

>>Glenn originally suggested a golden retriever. But after I created the design to the right, we both decided that the dog should a smaller and less fury breed.>>

Below are some sketches that I made before we landed on the final character.


The idea was to create a dog that will beg for his treats. Glenn asked for the dog to put his paws together in praying position. But after an hour of trying to sketch out dogs every picture was looking unnatural. So I journeyed to Central Park and analyzed the hundreds of dogs passing by. Finally I came to conclusion that Dog arms just don't bend that way and cartoons look unnatural when you try to make them do so.







Since the client asked for it I gave some samples where the dog is begging. But in the end of the day the final design had a more accurate portrayal of a real dog stance. Ironically, after hundreds of designs, the final product has a very similar pose to the to the original design.


<< Colors and final details.
White worked best because it will be put in front of many different color backgrounds.<<
