Packaging Design Intro

Description

Good packaging needs structure, print production and brand identity to work together. These thirteen PDF lessons begin with fundamentals, brand identity and visual strategy, color theory and typography, and material selection and structural design.

You then learn dielines, design software essentials, market research, sustainable packaging, prototyping and mockups, and print production specifications. The last lessons cover legal requirements, portfolio development and industry trends. Checklists and exercises appear in several lessons. By the end you understand how a package goes from brand brief to dieline to print-ready file, and you have a portfolio structure to show your own work.

Who it is for: beginner designers and product makers who want to learn how packaging is designed and produced.
