Introduction
This is my introduction to my blog post on What is Graphic Design? I am interested in this class because I am majoring in Computer Science, and that field is very technology-based. When picking classes, I tend to look for any classes that involve technology. This class was appealing because I appreciate the effort and time that goes into the graphic design process. Looking at a book or website and being mindful that someone worked hard in creating the piece. I am not specifically interested in graphic design as a passion but more of a small interest. I think that this class would help my major, and in the future, I think it would be a viable skill to have in the department I am going into.

The way package design is intended to work to protect the products within the package but also to catch the eyes of customers and get them to buy the product. The most eye-catching designs are usually the most looked toward or even purchased. Package design is intended to grab customers’ attention, but why and what are people drawn toward. Here are 4 psychology-based design tips for package design. As stated in that link, color is a big part of what draws in a customer; it appeals to our emotions. Another big part of package design is the package’s texture; it will be something that you remember or something that might be interesting to you. It evokes a reaction in you that either you like or you don’t like. Many little things go into the package design, but I feel that the text on the package is the most important. It is usually the first eye-catching piece of the package that either says buy or not to buy for the consumer. Most of the 10 Top Packaging Designs of 2021 have fun and creative text.
