Packaging
` Designers need to be commercially aware at every stage of design to reach the right level of compromise between financial, function and marketing performance.`
( This quote was taken from the book PACKAGING DESIGN by Bill Stewart.)

Packging Life cycle
  1. Production
  2. Distribution                         Financial implication

Design Principles - Safe & Excite 2

Excite

Is an explotion of feelings and colours.
  • Happy
  • Interesting
  • Can`t wait                              Colours & different.
  • New
  • Fireworks
EXCITE - My intrepetation for excite is ( new place).
                  The feeling that you have when you go to a new place, for me excite is new idea of different  
                  feelings, ideias , places and colours. 

FIREWORKS - The exploration of colours and the feeling that each colour brings is exciting.

Design Principles - Safe & Excite

SAFE

Is an interpretation of each individual what it means and how you feel.

 Safe
  • Place
  • House
  • Door                                        Black & White
  • Security
  • Heath & safety
SAFE - My interpretation of safe is ocean, sunset & sunrise. A place that i go either in my mind or physically to find answers. A place where I feel is just me, where no one else can find me or push me.....
OCEAN - Where  the waves takes the heavy weight of my back and makes me feel secure.
