Welcome back!

This course is an introduction to packaging design; we will investigate basic materials and production methods.  Projects include designs, redesigns and revitalization of existing packaging and the study of structures, point-of-purchase (POP) displays, and the packaging of new products. This course also investigates packaging as identity.

    Per our discussion last class, here’s a great example of Lateral Thinking. In the interview he mentions John Bielenberg (Project M) — I met him during a workshop in Hunt, TX. John is a big time thinker and support of de Bono’s concept on the same matter. He calls it “think wrong”.

    Welcome back everyone! I hope you’re as excited as I am with packaging design — one of my favorite classes!

    Glad it helps, Brittany. That’s just an example of how you can create an idea file, or a collection of designs for research. You can create many others based on a variety of themes (type, letterpress, patterns, etc.). Check out a few that I have selected from Dribbble users: http://dribbble.com/nilsantana/buckets
