Photographing first product

These are my first attempts at photographing my printed and constructed packaging. I am not usually very good at photographing my products so in this instance I put in a bit more effort and tried to create really nice crisp high contrast photographs by using a light box to create loads of light for the photos. 
I think these photographs look pretty good in comparison to the kind that I would usually do for my briefs last year so it is definitely a step in the right direction. 



Aside from the better quality photographs I also put a lot more effort in to the crafting of the packaging. Anyone who has ever seen me try to construct something would know that it is a big weak point in the finishing of my work so in this case I put in extra effort to make sure I didn't needlessly mark the card or cut it wrong or get glue everywhere. I used double sided tape as a clean adhesive and made sure the surface that I was working on was always clean and I made sure that the stock didn't split when folded. 
All in all I think it paid off quite well and in terms of finished quality it is very good by my standards.
