Handmade Packaging Workshop explores innovation, design and
the beautiful aesthetic of handmade packaging. Packed with
tutorials, case studies, inspirational work and profiles of
practitioners, the book follows a logical learning structure,
beginning with an understanding of tools and materials, through
inspirational examples from successful designers, to a final
section with tutorials on the skills needed to execute packaging
design as well as advice on how to set yourself up as a
professional. Sections two and three form the main focus of the
book, comprising a host of case studies that are organized by type
of packaging element, whether labels, boxes or bags, or recycled
and reusable elements such as fabrics and wraps. Within each case
study, icons and captions identify whether the packaging has been
handmade from scratch, hand-finished, contains handmade elements,
or simply draws on the handmade aesthetic. The final section offers
tutorials that show the reader how to create a repeat pattern, a
box template, screenprint labels, and so on. In addition, profiles
and interviews offer an understanding of the challenges faced by
industry professionals.
