DSGN 330 - Package Design

Packaging is part of our daily lives-it is inescapable. Whether it is breakfast cereal or a carton of milk, a new soccer ball or the latest Apple product, a grande coffee or a box of gourmet chocolates, the item’s packaging is developed with a clear understanding of how a user will interact with it. In this course, students work on creating packages that range in their complexities while designing for a brand the product demands. Building on knowledge and skills attained in the foundation design courses, students learn the importance of bleeds, folds and cuts, and how graphical elements can blend around corners in three dimensional space.
