Packaging
What Goes into the Making of Good Packaging?
The brand name, list of ingredients and description as well. How do you fit all this into a limited space and still make it all look organised and appealing? Well, that's why we have packaging designers. Akim Melnik, a Packaging Designer from Belarus believes it's important to keep certain key things in mind to help fulfil the purpose. In a conversation with Creative Gaga, he tells us about his design dogma.
CG: Your designs are mostly focused on branding and packaging. What is your design philosophy that makes you as a brand, stand out?
Akim. To describe the philosophy in words is difficult. It's like a dream that you've had, you remember it, but just cannot describe it. However, there are some things that are always important to be aware of when designing for a product or brand. First is to meet the expectations and preferences of the target audience. Secondly, ergonomics and making sure information on a pack is correctly presented is crucial too. And lastly, you cannot create without knowing what's already out there. Hence, competent analysis and research of competitive product packaging is a necessary step. Remember, that a good design can sell a bad product, just like a bad design can worsen the selling a good product.
