Brief Summary

Here's your chance to design something and see it on grocery shelves across the US! We're an innovative food company with a unique product, but unless the customer notices us on the shelves it's all for naught. Do you think you have what it takes to go up against the mega-food conglomerates, and make a design which can attract the consumer's eye?

In addition to the prize, we're also giving away a case of our pasta - worth over $50! :)

    Great designs all around. We're still deciding between our three favorites, and should have a decision for you soon. Thanks again to everyone who participated!

    Lizg #32 try to change that green color and midcent #26, the color you used reminds me of Milka chocolate.

    The common issue we're having with all the designs is that, although they're all nice and have style & elegance, unless the MESSAGE is very centrally focused on the customer will not be drawn to our product. When they pick up the package they have to instantly be hit by two messages:

    40% Fewer Calories
    and
    72% Daily Value of Fiber

    The numbers themselves (40% and 72%) are actually the big selling points, and should be larger than the accompanying text. They are the ONLY reasons people are going to by this pasta.

    Once we have them looking at this text, we can add in other comparison factors.
    Calories: 130 vs. 210
    Fiber: 18g vs 2g

    If you'd like to see someone who did a good job with this, check out Fiber One's box design.

    You can save text as Word or some other textual file.

    Unfortunately, we don't have all the text for the back side decided on yet. It's definitely not going to be identical with the mac & cheese (less kid focus), will probably include a recipe, cooking instruction to be adjusted, ingredients shorter, etc. nutrition facts panel also has to change (Is the software to output those according to FDA specs common in graphics programs, BTW?)

    I'll try to get the text finalized this week, and will post it as soon as I can. But we're really focused on making the front panel eye-catching.

    @ GourmetChef: You should submit back side also, but do not convert fonts into curves, so we can edit text.
