In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a Cadbury chocolate packaging design using Adobe Illustrator. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of creating a background color, adding guides, inserting images, and blending layers to achieve a professional look for your packaging design. Let's get started!Step 1: Create a New DocumentFirst, create a new document with the same dimensions as your chocolate packaging (usually around 1000 x 1000 pixels). Name the document 'Full Packaging of Cadbury Chocolate'.Step 2: Add a Background ColorUsing the Rectangle Tool, create a rectangle to cover the entire canvas. Set its color to match the main color of your Cadbury logo.Step 3: Create GuidesTo help you align your design elements properly, enable rulers by pressing Ctrl + R. Then, create vertical and horizontal guides based on the packaging design you've referenced.Step 4: Add the LogoUse the transparency tool to blend the logo image with the background color. Position it in the center of the middle portion as seen in your reference image.Step 5: Add a Gray BoxCreate a gray box over the logo to create a contrasting effect. Add another black box below the gray one for added depth.Step 6: Insert ImagesOpen each image you need (calories, expiry date, barcode, icons) and resize them according to your guides. Use the transparency tool to blend the images with the background color.Step 7: Add Additional ContentsInsert additional contents such as the green dot icon, checkmark, dustbin icon, nutritional value, ingredients, and manufacturing details. Again, use the transparency tool to ensure a seamless blend with the background color.Step 8: Save Your DesignFinally, save your design by going to File > Save As. Choose Adobe Illustrator as the file type and give it an appropriate name (e.g., 'Cadbury Chocolate Packaging Design'). And that's it! You now have a Cadbury chocolate packaging design ready for print or further customization.
