Making packaging in photoshop is simple to say, but complicated to do: the general process is to open ps software, create a background file with the required size and white color, open lace materials and commodity icons, drag them into the background file, adjust the size and position with ctrl+t, draw a logo or polygon with polygon lasso tool, fill in colors, type in necessary instructions, publicize words, rasterize words, drag text effects, etc. , ok! 1. Create a new file. Set the page size to A4, the resolution to 300, the color mode to RGB, and the background content to white. After confirmation, use the image rotation command to rotate the image by 90 degrees. Select the Gradient Tool, set the gradient to dark gray to light gray, and then make a linear gradient from top left to bottom right on the background layer. Check the "Ruler" and "Alignment" options in the view menu, and then plan the reference line, as shown in the document view;

2. Open a shading pattern image, drag and copy the shading pattern into the current file, and zoom and locate it according to the reference line;

3. Continue to copy the shading pattern into the current file and align the layers;

4. Create two vertical and horizontal reference lines and align them with the center of the centered pattern. Create a new layer, use the rectangle marquee tool to press Shift to create a square, and fill it with the color as shown in the figure;

5. Move the rectangular marquee along the middle two reference lines, and then create three color blocks with different colors;

6. Create the text of the gift name and set it as an artistic calligraphy font, as shown in the figure;

7. Merge the name text layer. Create a new layer, copy the lace pattern to the current file and mirror it to the four corners. After adding advertising language, the front design effect of the gift box is completed;

8. Copy two background layers on the front of the gift box, and use the rectangular frame selection tool to remove the redundant part of its reference line to obtain two sides of the gift box;

9. After oblique cutting deformation on both sides, merge all layers except the background layer, then adjust the perspective deformation of the gift box, and finally add the shadow layer effect on the gift box layer to get the gift box effect map.

Draw the lines of the packaging box in AI or CRD, export the picture to open in PS, and then do the effect within the line range. Generally, it is faster to use AI for packaging boxes. There is a ruler tool in AI that can measure the length and width, but PS doesn't have this function.
