Three-dimensional structure and carton modeling structure design

As a professional basic course of modern design teaching, the three-dimensional structure is highly valued by the design education circles of many countries in the world today. Many famous designers have conducted in-depth research and discussion. The three-dimensional structure was established in the early period of Bauhaus and has been more than 80 years old. With the passage of time, today has developed into a more scientific and perfect discipline. The three-dimensional structure can make us intuitively aware of the existence of space and improve our three-dimensional aesthetic ability. The three-dimensional structure is one of the foundations of modern design and has a wide range of application values. It applies the principles and methods of three-dimensional composition in all areas of our lives, from urban planning, architectural design, sculpture works, to small packaging design, and so on. . 
Three-dimensional structure is the use of paper, plastic, plaster, wood and other materials, the modeling elements in accordance with the principles of the United States to form a new three-dimensional process. The understanding and experience of materials, and how to make materials constitute a vitality modeling work is an important part of the three-dimensional structure to be studied. In the study of three-dimensional composition, paper is the most basic material, and it is also one of the most used. Paper has a good folding, bending, cutting and other plasticity. And the price is cheap, the processing and connection process is simple and easy to form. The three-dimensional structure of paper materials can help us understand and master the paper's modeling methods and deepen our understanding of the three-dimensional space formed by paper materials. The three-dimensional structure of the paper is closely related to the design of the carton modeling structure and is the basis of the carton modeling structure design. Can provide designers with a wide range of ideas and ideas. Designers can select excellent solutions based on aesthetics, craftsmanship, and other factors in these programs to create a beautifully shaped carton with a concrete or abstract idea. 
Carton is widely used in packaging, mostly in the form of small and medium-sized packaging. Can be very beautifully printed, suitable for sales packaging. The design of carton modeling structure is the use of paper materials, through a certain technical means to create a three-dimensional appearance of the packaging of the active process. Need to have a higher three-dimensional shape art quality and spatial three-dimensional performance. The design of the carton modeling structure is a very important part of the packaging design and it is not optional. Many of the outstanding carton modeling designs we have seen today have been continuously improved in the long practice to achieve this state of perfection today. Before we design the carton modeling structure, we can do some paper three-dimensional composition exercises. Whether it is a simple polyhedron, a prismatic body, or a complex and changeable heterogeneous structure, we must first draw a sketch of the structure in the plane, perform nicking and folding line analysis, and then fold the grass mold to form a three-dimensional spatial three-dimensional shape. Through various methods such as engraved, cut, twisted, and sunroof to change its basic form, the stencil is finally developed into a plane, and each part is required to be completed by the same plane. Through repeated practice of paper three-dimensional construction, we can make our research ideas more clear. Deepen the understanding of the three-dimensional space of the carton, and skillfully master the paper processing techniques to the point where it is easy to use. The three-dimensional structure of the paper can improve our space imagination ability and hands-on production capabilities, and enrich our imagination space, so as to create a more three-dimensional, More changeable carton shapes. Nowadays, some foreign design companies attach great importance to the design of the carton modeling structure and study it as a special topic. They often organize different types of carton modeling and design competitions to encourage young designers to innovate boldly and maximize their creativity. In previous years, in France, a design competition titled “Creating Future Egg Packaging Boxes” was held in France, which has aroused strong interest among designers from all over the world. They used a variety of environmentally friendly paper materials to start designing from three-dimensional spatial relationships. Normally, we think of the packaging form from the perspective of the packaging function. The opposite is true. It breaks the traditional thinking model and makes the creative inspiration develop in depth. These works are very avant-garde, advanced concepts, innovative spirits and refreshing. To achieve the perfect combination of form and function, form and art. The World Packaging Organization currently organizes the "Star of the World" packaging design selection event once a year, and also selects it as one of the contents. 
Looking through the dazzling array of carton packaging products, we can see that designers are now working hard on the exterior decoration, with rich and colorful screens and exquisite prints. However, some goods have left a deep impression on consumers and have been left out. Observing carefully, it is not difficult to find that these products do not have much change in the appearance of the shape, mostly based on the hexahedron structure. It feels monotonous, conservative, lacking personality and interest. The material life of modern society is extremely rich, and people's aesthetics and values ​​have undergone great changes. The unified model of commodity mass production and standardized production will be replaced by small-batch, multi-product production methods. People are increasingly pursuing the diversification and individualization of packaging design. People demand that commodities not only meet the physiological needs of human beings, but also satisfy people's psychological needs; they must not only be practical, but also give more aesthetic, emotional, and cultural meanings in the design. 
In today's extremely fierce competition for goods, more companies recognize the importance of self-promotion in the display. In POP packaging, we can make use of the three-dimensional structure of paper to make a big issue on the lid. This kind of whimsy has accumulated a lot of stereoscopic image materials for the designers, resulting in a lot of good design solutions. First, fold lines or curves on the lid to make cuts, and then fold to make various forms of display stands, display boards, or display stands. Different styles of carton decoration styles vary, the overall sense of strong, and full of change. Under the effect of light will produce different effects, and through the visual and psychological effects make people have a variety of feelings. Changed the serious and rigid display of the carton. Through the opened lid, all or part of the product is displayed in front of the consumer so that the consumer can fully understand the appearance of the product and purchase it with confidence. This form can attract consumers' attention, serve the purpose of promoting goods and promoting sales, and strengthens the visual role of advertising. 
There are many factors that affect packaging design, including exterior surface decoration design, material selection, and exterior structure. In some children's merchandise packaging, the design of the carton form is often an attractive factor. For example, we can design the carton into a certain animal shape according to the natural form of paper three-dimensional construction. This style is lively and interesting. Generally speaking, the difficulty is relatively large. It is not a simple form imitating, but it takes the typical characteristics of animals to simplify, exaggerate and deform. And from different perspectives to analyze and study, it is necessary to carry out repeated scrutiny and improvement. A children's candy package, modeling simulation cat design, the two corresponding surface from the straight plane to curved surface, in line with the cat's head and body curves. The lines are smooth and dynamic. Designers grasp the naughty, cute, healthy and upward mental state of the tabby cat and give the product its vitality and form beauty. The "flower cat" placed on the shelf seems to "jump" to the children before they "talk." This kind of goods is very much liked by children's consumers and caters to the purchasing psychology of children's consumers. 
China is a "state of etiquette," and it pays great attention to reciprocity. People like to give their loved ones or friends a good wish and express their wishes. Gift packaging is valued. Gift packaging is different from the packaging of general merchandise. It not only requires exquisite view, but also elegant style, novel and unique style, it makes people feel warm, natural, and pleasing. A foreign food packaging is very unique, it uses paper's three-dimensional structure of the six-sided rectangle packaging chamfer change, cut corners will increase the line shape and change the direction of the line, increase the packaging surface. In order to create a new, beautiful and rich packaging carton shape. The picture is an old European building. Through the open windows, you can see the products inside. The whole package design is warm and romantic, with high cultural taste and connotation, and is full of flavor and personality. 
The three-dimensional structure principle and method provide us with a broad creative space and a new thinking concept for packaging design. I believe that designers will get inspiration from it, from different perspectives, to create a variety of excellent packaging works to enrich our lives.
