Your links are great, I think packaging design is something that is important because it can attach a person to the product especially if they remember a brand and its design.Jené Zigantohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770606574746980873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-84838171876134602152011-04-21T14:44:50.689-07:002011-04-21T14:44:50.689-07:00I would, for the record, LOVE a psychology of desi...I would, for the record, LOVE a psychology of design class. <br /><br />Thanks for the resource - I'm delving into packaging design for my capstone and the inspiration is much appreciated!Lauren T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08695658964899032897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-6784747050871981682011-04-19T11:43:04.607-07:002011-04-19T11:43:04.607-07:00To echo what TOny said and expand, I think most al...To echo what TOny said and expand, I think most alcohol advertisements are very interesting in general. I am a big fan of beer (especially craft beer) labels, as many of you who have been in my classes might understand from projects I've done. I think a great thing about package design is that it's just like book design in that people will buy something just because it looks cool - knowing nothing what it's really about. <br /><br />One particularly interesting series of labels are the Flying Dog labels that rely heavily on illustration and are actually really weird (and have nothing to do with beer!)<br /><br />http://www.flyingdogales.com/Beer-Pack.aspxKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357549086168311874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-12952169741780520882011-04-19T08:37:32.429-07:002011-04-19T08:37:32.429-07:00Labels can be such a great source of inspiration i...Labels can be such a great source of inspiration in design. I love looking at wine labels, which range from elegant to cartoony. I still find I prefer the older simpler labels done in the 60s, for instance I like the labels from Pepsi more then than now. I will often find old products at estate sales (non-perishable types) and buy them just for the packaging. I bought a box of Atlas washers a couple months back just because the packaging is too cool. But, again, wine labels I could stare at for hours just sifting through all the different one they have. Not only do they have great illustrations and graphics on wine labels but the typography is fantastic to look at. Ironically, I only look (not much for the taste of wine). Nutella echoes that simplicity of the sixties very nicely and the illustration is simple and pleasant to look at as well. Thanks for links. I look forward to investing many hours looking through the designs, especially on the stationary site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-87853822041149957712011-04-19T08:37:31.362-07:002011-04-19T08:37:31.362-07:00This is great.

I really hate buying something and then having a ridiculous amount of trash to throw out because of the 7 layers of non-recyclable plastic that they encase it in.Shannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964543631552691787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-16128590185061698862011-04-18T20:17:26.101-07:002011-04-18T20:17:26.101-07:00Thanks for the links--those are great sites.

This is basically what I want to surround my final piece.
