5.11 Create a Cereal Box - Part Two

How You Make Your Box

You have creative freedom for what art material you use to create your box. It is easiest if follow this process:

  1. Get an actual cereal box
  2. Cut paper to the sizes to cover it
  3. Put your designs on your paper
  4. Attach the paper.

You can use images and lettering you create from the computer or create them by hand. Do not use actual image from other cereal boxes.

Remember on the front of your box you need:

  • The NAME of the cereal: should have the largest text
  • The SLOGAN: captures the essence of the cereal box
  • The BRIEF DESCRIPTION:  ex.) Sweet crunchy oat flakes with a touch of peanut butter and jam
  • The SPECIAL OFFER: ex.) Inside find a free toy car!
  • The IMAGES: should include your character and your cereal
  • The LOGO: should be small, but memorable

Place the lettering and images together so it makes an attractive design for your target audience.
