Packplay at FIT in New York city

Here is a photo of some of the Packaging Design students listening to one of their classmates present a concept at FITNY.

"If design used to be a matter of physical form, its subject the material object, it now increasingly seems to be about the user and her experiences. A central problem with this development is the confusion between what we are designing and who is going to use it-the shift towards user design. Trying to optimise fit on basis of knowledge about use and users, we risk trapping people in a situation where the use of our designs has been overdetermined and where there is not enough space left to act and improvise."

Packplay at UQAM

Packplay has really started now at UQAM. A whole group of students are working right now on food packaging as a first project. We are sketching, folding embossing, moulding engraving to develop a user-centered packaging aimed at a foreign market. 

We’d be delighted to have news from you to publish on our blog.

Cheers!
