The Dieline Blog has got to be the one of my top favourite websites to browse through. Whether for inspiration or just purely to satisfy my need of good graphics. Some of the ideas are amazing and others just simply aesthetically beautiful. The picture above of the Penhaligon's Christmas Gift collection shows great illustration skills and use of colours. Designers seem to be using a wider variety and mix of colours for different occasions, and in this case, Christmas. No longer is it the norm of red, green and white and the occasional splash of gold. Designers are all gearing away from the norm and that excites me a lot. Seeing this christmas collection, it really strikes me to think that quite a lot of my course mates are all displaying and coming up with sleek, simple ideas and to be really honest, we should not be. Emphasising on the ''we''- I should expand my ideas and skills. Especially for packaging, there is an element where you can be fun with it too. Lecturers seem to prefer the sleek, no fuss kind of designs. Its boring.
My take on the future: to be a packaging designer!! Will see how it turns out like :D I might put up my packaging from my current brief soon!
