Yahtzee Game

This is a package for a Yahtzee game from my house. Its an older version so the design has an older look to it. The purpose of the package is to advertise and tell the buyer about the game. The typography is easy for the buyer to read. I like the picture because the dice seem to come at you. The yellow and orange curves reinforce this motion. I chose this design because it makes the game look fun and enjoyable.

Dove Soap

This is a package for Dove soap from my house. The purpose is to inform the customers about and advertise the product. I chose this because it is interesting. The kind of soap says that it is white on the package. I like that the designer used a white package to reinforce this. The Dove type and logo are prominent on the package because they are important. The Dove logo is well known to consumers. I also like that the type on the logo is elegant, almost like it is handwritten. Overall, the package has a clean look to it, which makes sense because soap is clean.

Glee Bracelet

This is a Glee: the 3D Concert Movie bracelet that I got from my work. They were bracelets that we handed out to those who went to the movie. The function is to advertise the movie. We would hand the bracelets out to fans, they would wear the bracelets, then other people would ask them about the bracelets and want to go see the movie and get one. Since it is on a bracelet, the design had to be fairly simple. The Glee logo is simple in itself, any fan would recognize it. The word "Glee" is in red because it is important. The 3D is also in red because it is important. The type is clear and easy to read, helping to make the bracelet simple. I was attracted to this piece because I am a fan of Glee, and because it is a simple design put on something unexpected, such as a bracelet.

Reese's Pieces Package

This is a pack of Reese's Pieces that I found in my room. The function of this package is to advertise the candy and let the consumer know what they are about to eat. I really like the typography used. It almost looks handwritten, yet it is easy to read. The colors all go together nicely. Also, the picture used is relevant because it shows what the candy looks like, so the consumer knows what to expect in the package. I liked this piece because it is so small, but it says a lot.
