OUGD501 - SB.2 - Initial Ideas

Should form follow function in packaging design?

Initial ideas for practical work in response to this essay question:


Create packaging that is usually considered aesthetically pleasing / desirable more FUNCTIONAL

Make pretty packaging more functional. Make something that serves a purpose/makes zero waste. 
  • eg. homewares
  • Candles where packaging eg. jar/glass can be used as something else once the wax has melted and be kept.
  • Incense Sticks - Same concept where container is kept and used as something else eliminating waste. 
  • Refillable cosmetics / beauty product packaging. Lush - scheme where you can refill for discount. 
FUNCTIONAL packaging made more aesthetically pleasing 

Make functional packaging like hardwares/DIY/crafts function better and look more aestheticcally pleasing / desirable and trendy such as the nails example from my essay. 
  • Functional packaging includes:
  • DIY/Hardware
  • Cleaning products
  • Gardening 
  • Some Food
  • Pets
  • Electricals
BOTH AESTHETICALLY PLEASING and FUNCTIONAL 

Enhance packaging so it looks good and there is zero/reduced waste or the packaging can be reused so that there is zero waste. eg. Eric Benson Stafidenios Raisin Packaging.
