Under Consideration

Under Consideration is a really comprehensive website with several sections devoted to different design topics. I especially like "the design encyclopedia" (very useful for students) and the "brand new" sections.

Core77 Design Directory

I have found this design directory very useful for all of us.

The great thing about this website is, it does not only contain information about packaging design, graphic design ,branding etc ,but also website portfolio of the designers/design firm.

The cool Hunter

Check out the website.. I found it useful for the project we are working on.

A good flickr to check if you can sift through it...

post some pictures if you are talking to us...

The Die Line

The Die Line is an excellent packaging blog, full of case studies and examples of packaging excellence, a good resource for Assignment 1.

This is an image of simple but effective packaging for another form of packaging: attractive, colourful, recyclable, reusable, biodegradable, non-plastic shopping bags from Bennetton.
