30 Bizarre and Creative Packaging Design Examples. Inspiration November 1, 2010 One of the things that identifies the image of a product is its packaging. Few elements like striking graphics, attractive colors, and unusual shapes are carefully thought of to come up with packaging design that catches the attention of the consumers. A packaging design is a critical component in marketing because it is the packaging that makes it stand from the rest when consumers choose a product from the shelf. We usually see the packaging first instead of an innovative product. An Indian Inventor Disrupts The Period Industry.

Now, men on average live to 76, and women can expect to live to 81. That’s a lot of extra time tacked on to the ends of people’s lives--and many senior citizens are still figuring out how best to spend those years without getting bogged down in the difficulties of aging. How can design help improve that process?

High School Students Fix Problem Of Gross, Watery Ketchup. The design quest to solve the ketchup bottle problem--namely, how to get the ketchup out of the bottle--is ongoing. There was the advent of squeeze bottles, of course. And about a year ago, a team at MIT devoted their talents to developing LiquiGlide, the slippery coating guaranteed to ease out the last bits of ketchup out of the bottle.
