Ok, onto the first part of this week's inspiration! So I have been musing along at Half Price Books, and I came upon this cool book in their Design section. It's called "What is Packaging Design?" and I have to say, it really does its job at showing some awesome design decisions and amazing packaging executions.
The top-most image is just displaying the cover. I like its simple palette and straight-forward message. The inner-most image is a really awesome exhibit of typography shown in this book; I can't stress enough how cool type can be! The last image shows some package designs and their alternative designs. All of the contents within the book are discussed and/or also shown in several forms. It's a neat book, so come classtime I can bring it in to share with you all!
I love going to Half Price Books and checking out their design section. You can find some really awesome books there, and judging by this book, you found one of the better ones. I think package design is really cool. If something is packaged right, it can definitely help sell the item. No one is going to want to buy something with a boring package design.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, presentation and packaging really seals the deal when coming to the purchasing of the product. I love Half Price Books, and I already bought quite a few design books for this upcoming year! It's definitely worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you both about Half Price Books. I went for the first time last semester and found so really cool ones in the design section. This is a really nice book. The typography is super cool too. I feel like there are so many unique variations and possibilities with typography and it is always cool to see the different ways people experiment with it!
