Branding & Disruptive Package Design
Name: Ferrari,
Advisor: Nancy Mata
Department: ELCM
Award: Student Research Grant
Abstract: As an aspiring package and product designer, my goal is to complete multiple creative projects that will improve my knowledge and skills to be successful within the current job market. I plan on creating packages that address several issues within the packaging industry today. In order to do that, a designer must take into account the necessary elements in creating packaging that includes sustainable materials, such as paper, plastic, resins, films, and adhesives. My timeline for these projects is to finish before the end of the Fall 2020 semester. My projects will comprise of various design themes representing different eras of art and culture. These designs will be used to benefit my portfolio while also creating art that brings people together, consumers and producers alike.
