25 Creative Use of Typography in Packaging Design
Packaging design is one of the aspects that influence consumers when buying certain products. To compete with the so many brands in the market today, a product should stand out from the rest while in the supermarkets or shops. One of the elements used by designers to make product packaging stand out is by using purely fonts and text in their packaging designs. This type of design puts less concern for readability and more emphasis on using type in an artistic manner. Type is combined with negative space, graphic elements and pictures, forming relationships and dialog between words and images.
