 Final Product
• Product inside the box made of salt dough and
painted. I ran out of time to paint all of them as my
teacher moaned at me when I said I had not had
enough time to finish it
.
How I did this project
• I found an old box for xmas cards.
• I put glue all over the box lid and covered it with white paper
• I made a “mock-up” by folding paper around the box lid and
then placing post-it notes on the different places to make
sure I had a place for each bit of information.
• I put it all onto MS PowerPoint to develop my text boxes and
make a logo. I measured the sides and top and made boxes
on MS PowerPoint for the same measurements
• I noticed from looking at other product boxes that the logo is
put of each side. I looked at different boxes to see what
information is put on products and I decided what I wanted
to put on mine and where I wanted to put it.
• I saw the colours you use are important and draw attention
to the product.
• We are doing the fishing industry and I have a spec sheet
from my teacher but I want to do vegetarian fishcakes. I
think my teacher will get angry at this, but I am prefer
vegeterian food. There have been kids bringing in dead fish
and they are injured and they get left in the class for a few
days and stink and I feel sick about it. I have gone off
eating fish.
• I am looking at making fish cakes in the shape of star fish.
• My mom also had a suggestion of making jellyfish sweets in
the shape of fish.
• I have some of my own ideas as well: Starfish biscuits or
biscuits and sweets out of all sorts of shapes of marine life:
starfish, snails,

I really like the concept of this project. It is very broad and

complicated and you can do it really nicely and learn a lot. It
can take up a lot of time but I was thinking of making a few of
my own products and even making samples out of salt dough
and painting them to put inside the box.
Mock up of Product
Making my Logo
• First I chose a name: Salty Mermaid Products
• Then I searched for an image of a mermaid
• I added text using word art on MS PowerPoint.
