Packaging Design Tips and Inspiration

Packaging design is obviously very important when marketing your product. It's the first thing people see when walking into a store so you have to make sure that it stands out from the rest of the products on the shelf. Package design can make you desire something as benign as soap. Designers are especially more sensitive to package design. In the past I've bought something solely for the reason that I loved the packaging.

Tips

The people over at Go Media have written up a nice blog entry on basic packaging design tips with some nice examples. If you are interested in packaging design then you should check it out.

Inspiration

Hi readers!
I'm a student of Graphic Design in New York City and I live in Brooklyn. NY is a hub for design and my posts will try to focus on, but will not be limited to, design related things happening in NY, such as museum exhibits, architecture, events, local artist interviews, galleries, etc. I'm very much into technology and art and how they intersect to make multimedia art installations.

Hope you enjoy my posts!
