Package Design
Yesterday I received this huge box from Package Design Magazine labeled The Package Designer’s Toolbox. It contained numerous cleverly designed packaging such as CD jackets, box template cut-outs, cosmetic containers, beer cans, water bottles, etc. As a designer, I’d be normally delighted in receiving freebies like these. They serve as wonderful items of inspiration when creativity runs dry. As I sat there examining the items, however, all I wanted to do was to identify them by recyclable material category and get them sorted for the next trash pick-up. Sad to say, these carefully crafted and well-thought out pieces have been reduced to garbage. My domestication transformation must be complete.
