Packaging design, in fact, is an act of balancing between creativity, personality and functionality. First, your new packaging needs to be distinctive and should really stand out. This is a pure challenge of creativity, to come up with something nobody else has done before. Sometime that means extraordinary boldness, pushing the limits, solutions that are larger than life. Second, the packaging has to instantly say something about the product. Packaging has no role of its own; its sole purpose is to bring the stuff inside forward. This means that packaging has to convey unmistakably the products message. The book collects nearly all the latest wonderful packaging design works, featuring a wide range of CD, wine, food, household article, and cosmetic packaging, from designers worldwide. Some of them show creative ideas which enrich our life; some present different packaging styles from around the world. The book also includes some excellent student works. It gives those students a stage to display their designs and the book is enriched because of it

Good Design, Down to the Letter Packages on store shelves, posters on building walls, pages of a website—all contain information that needs to be communicated. And at the heart of that communication is type: visually interesting, interactive, expressive and captivating. Each letter must come alive; therefore, each letter must be carefully crafted or chosen. A solid foundation in typography, as well as an understanding of its nuances, will help you optimize your visual communication—in whatever form it takes. By breaking down the study of type into a systematic progression of relationships—letter, word, sentence, paragraph, page and screen—award-winning graphic designer and professor of communication design Denise Bosler provides a unique and illuminating perspective on typography for both print and digital media and for designers of all skill levels. Through instruction, interviews and real-world inspiration, Mastering Type explores the power of each typographic element--both as it stands alone and as it works with other elements--to create successful design, to strengthen your skill set and to inspire your next project.
