    Description
    This course introduces the student to the skills required to create effective packaging designs, finished comps, and delivering professional oral presentations. The role of typography, color and the use of materials such as paper, plastics, and other materials are examined and design solutions created using both traditional and computer generated techniques. Comping skills are sharpened by these experiences. The variety of packaging styles available and the environmental implications of packaging are discussed.
