Packaging Design Brief

We are looking for a box design for our new video software product, Rocketvideo. You may find numerous design elements attached that you may implement to help tie the box design to our physical product. I've attached vector logos, icons, the hard drive sticker designs and a link to the matching pdf manual that will be included in this box. Also please find a picture of the box mock-up and the template the printing press will be using to get a good idea of how it is assembled.

Rocketvideo includes a hard drive with thousands of stock video animations from our website motionloops.com. One reason we went with the velcro flap "book cover" style box packaging was to give us more room to add lots of images - since the images are what will sell the product sitting on the shelves.

As you can see from the booklet, we have ~30 categories that represent the library of 3000 videos so we want a way to show these categories in some easy to understand way using images on the box design. You can find some text and design requirements in the attached document.

Please download the pdf booklet file. It contains the category images here as explained in the document: http://download.motionloops.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Client_Files/RocketVideo.pdf
We want the feel of the box to reflect the feel of the reference manual pdf.

Remaining details are in the document in reference to what content should appear on each panel of the Rocketvideo box.

The biggest challenge to this project is the inside with images:

a. So far the best designs are incorporating 2 images per category on the inside panel. This seems to allow more images at a size that can still show quality in most layouts. The theme titles are equally important to show in a clear manner. Although it's not required, we're not against placing some of the images on the panel that surrounds the hard drive. We don't want to take away from the clean look of a design on that internal panel but functionality (selling the product with image examples) is the top priority for both inside flap panels. 

b. I mentioned in the description that we will be using badges or stickers for the "edition" and mention of "vidjam included." Please note this one box run will be used for both the performance and production editions to save our print costs. It will also be used with and without the Vidjam sticker. For this reason please design in a way where we can easily add these two elements as stickers. In other words, we will ALWAYS have either a performance or production sticker - but we may not always have the vidjam sticker. Please design to fit that criteria so it works in these different scenarios. 

c. On the back panel be sure to leave room for all requirements in the document. 

Thank you!
