I have been searching the contact information for "Bloom" but seems no where to be found. I want to take a chance to show them my design. If anyone knows, please give me a hand. Thank you!!!!

After I made my box, I spent all night creating this 3D image in Illustrator using 3D_Extrude/Bevel experienced MULTIPLE CRASHES......! so, excuse me for didn't say much in the final critique today. My brain just didn't function well.

How did I make it in 3D?
I just draw half side of the bottle outline(left/right) then go to 3D_Bevel. It will use the line to create a surface round. Then you draw the image you want to wrap around the bottle, and put it to Symbol. Then in the Extrude/Bevel menu find Mapping art, then put you Symbol in the surface you want to be shown. There you go! Sounds simple, but the most irritating part is each time get it rendered.

How do I know this technique? (I guess some of you already know that....)
When I was in Barnes&Noble searching the ToyFare magazine, I surfed computer arts, and randomly saw one page in Illustration Book teach you how to make 3D model in Illustrator. It was pretty cool until today I actually made one!

As I was clearing out my files for the final, I took another shot of the actual print outs for my Calendar as postcards~

The day before yesterday, I made my final box. Originally this RED paper was my Plan C(making a square box), but I came up with this Plan B+C.....and I am quite happy with it. Before I was trying to continue with my idea of having flowers on the box (Plan B), and I sprayed paint all over the box with Ivory color, then I wanted to cut my stencil drawing again and paint the flowers on. But before I do that, it's too much a hassle and successful rate....um....70%? I stoned a while then Wrap that red paper on. Surprisingly, it's not bad!!! It totally add on a richness yet simple, classy,neat. Moreover, my transfers color stands out on it, great combination. I just go with it~~~~~

I had so many attempts for making my box. I used white color paper to cover up the box and flowers cut out in thick paper. Nude color Parchment paper wrap on top and rub down the flower so it will look like embossed. But then my craftsmanship was not good as I thought, the paper all wrinkled; so I tried to cover the entire box with a vellum paper and colored the flowers so it can be seen. Now I going to do my third attempt ><. I really wish I can just have a factory doing what I want.
