I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software and share with you the tutorials on creating beautiful packaging boxes.
Tutorial sharing:
Key points: Rotation tool, tilting tool, and free conversion tool.
1. Use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle of the proper size and fill in RGB (181,255, 31 ). This part will be used as the top of the box
2. select the rotation tool, hold down Alt, and click the bottom right corner of the rectangle to locate the center of change. In the displayed dialog box, the angle is-90, and click Copy (figure 01 ); move the copied rectangle vertically down until the top edge of the rectangle is aligned with the bottom edge of the original rectangle. Use the direct selection tool to select the copied rectangle and drag the bottom border, contract it to the appropriate size (Figure 02 ). This is the side of the packing box.
3. hold down Shift + Alt and drag the rectangle until the left edge of the copy is aligned with the left edge of the original rectangle, and then the width is reduced so that the three parts are closely connected and filled with RGB (4,191, 0). This is the part before the packing box. (Figure 03)
4. Let's take a look at it. Add a pattern and text to the box. (Since this article does not involve the diagram, the example here is just a simple representation. If there are any mistakes, please send me a letter !) (Figure 04) if there is a text section in your graph, remember to create a contour for the text. Otherwise, it will be terrible to export to other software. Combine your design diagram in blocks with the three rectangles we just created.
5. select the largest rectangle, and press Alt to use the tilting tool to locate the center point, or the point we just emphasized (the center point in the following steps is the point ), in the tilt dialog box, set the tilt angle to 30 degrees, and the Axis to horizontal. Click "OK". Then, use the rotation tool to change the center point, set the angle to-30 degrees, and confirm. (Figure 05)
6. Next, select the side of the box, use a tilt tool with the angle of-30 degrees, and select the vertical axis with the angle of 90. OK. (Figure 06)
7. The figure above is reduced. If we enlarge it, we will find that there is a part of extra space at the corner (figure 07). Let's try to eliminate it. Select the free transform tool, hold down Shift, and drag the top point of the selection box to align its vertical edge with the right outer side of the box. Due to the small gap, after such changes, the excess space is basically invisible (figure 08). If you are not satisfied and want more precise results, I will give a method below.
8. Now let's deform the front of the box. Select a dark rectangle and use a tilt tool. The angle is 30, the coordinate axis is vertical, and the angle is 0. After confirmation, the excess part is highlighted. (Figure 09. First, align the left edge (you can use the auxiliary line when necessary) according to the method just now, and find a blank line (Figure 10). Then use the tilt tool. The angle is-30, pull the rectangle back to the original position, increase the height to just make up for the blank (Figure 11), and then use the tilt method to make it fit the image on the box. In this way, if the front position is more accurate, there should be no problem. (Figure 12)
All right, the above information is the detailed design of the beautiful packaging box for the users of this software of Illustrator, you can see that the user here, Xiaobian believes that you are very clear about the drawing method, so you can quickly follow the tutorial shared above to make your favorite beautiful box.
