Being more than just a product of society...

The need to be unique in every aspect of our lives is growing rapidly and becoming more challenging to stand out with the over saturated market. A few years ago, picking the right color and coming up with a good layout design is what a good designer needed to know. Designing a concept that makes an impact today, you might as well get a degree in product engineering or become a scientist, where elaborate die-cuts, raw materials, forms and textures are implemented as part of the design process. Below are examples of package designs that are starting to resemble one another. I still love their clean lines, the whites and touches of colors that contrast. I love the tea bag packaging acting as a coaster idea. The embossed design on the paper soaks up the tea to form a colored image. A simple design cleverly executed! Another of my favorite is the hot dog wrapper....here again, simple but well-thought out. What do you love about design?
