Professional Packaging Design & Logo Design Tutorial | Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator 2023

What to study

Desired Outcome

  • A plain milk bottle becomes a range of three flavoured milks, and each bottle's colour tells you the flavour before you read a word, brown for chocolate, pink for strawberry.
  • The friendly cow face ties all three together as one brand.
How the packaging works
Title

Naming Photoshop and Illustrator matches what designers search for, and 'Professional' tells them this is client-grade work, though '2023' now dates it.

Thumbnail

BEFORE under the plain bottle and a big yellow arrow make it a transformation at a glance, and the milk splash behind the range adds movement the before doesn't have.

Remix this

When your after is a set of variants, give each one its own colour so viewers can tell them apart at feed size, and tie them together with one shared symbol.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.
