Packaging Design ...The Good...

Packaging design
Well, my definition of good package design would be something innovative, meaning conceptual. Whether thats something that would catch the consumers eye, like good label design , or the package itself is designed in such a manner that makes it useful or original. 











Conceptually I chose this Cider can design. Here, it's just simply a 
label design, but it possess a smart logo type. The first two letters of the word cider, spelled vertically makes an image of a smiley face winking at you. This alone, from a designers perspective would make me stop, acknowledge the product, and maybe buy it. 




















Next, This concept for band-aid packaging, I think, is very  innovative. Like Joe has said in class, being eco-conscious is the trend right now. In order to eliminate the unnecessary waste generated by band-aid wrappers, here they use just one package for several band-aids. I would imagine they would have 1 package for several different sized band-aids. Otherwise, hopefully you only get small cuts. Now, considering this concept I don't know if this would fall under good design or poor design. You decide. Let me know. 






















Here's the package for a DVD set, I guess of a season for the show House. Now if I saw this on the shelf I would totally be intrigued. The show is about a doctor...I think, and the case that the dvd set comes in mimics a blood pack. Totally awesome. Even the label has a medical look. I think this is another great example of innovative package design. And very conceptual. It incorporates elements of the show into the design of the package.
