Customer Review
Excellent book, highly recommended
The book is very well done, and a treat to read. It's one of the few books we keep multiple copies of in the studio. Having been in packaging design consulting for almost 15 years I've seen lots of publications that purport to be primers on the process. Most either frame packaging development as a metrics-driven endeavor best left to engineers OR as a craft-driven art form (do we need another book jacket made of twigs and berries?) having no grounding in commercial realities. This book on the other hand lives up to its sub-title, addressing the left and right brain thinking that goes into category-busting packages. The case studies are fresh and their histories clean and well-written. Whether you're in the design business and want inspiration or a marketer looking for insight, a great coice. - Scott www.studio111design.com

Nice resource book on packaging design
There's a lot that goes behind package design. More than what I expected after reading the book. Package Design Workbook explains all the ins and outs of packaging design in depth. The book is really split into three major portions although there are six chapters. The first portion talks about the history, art and science of package design. The second part provides the tools, tips and techniques. And at the back are thirty five case studies. Not just talking about package design, the book also address how it plays a part in the bigger picture for the company through branding. The authors Steven DuPuis and John Silva addresses a wide variety of factors contributing to good design. There are topics like the psychology of customers when choosing a product, creating a consistent style for future product lines, creating credibility, etc. There are lots of ideas to think about. This book is a good resource to go to for anything package...

Beautiful Book
I was required to purchase this book for my package design course at my university and I am real impressed with the layout and information in this book. The photography is excellent and the book contains Q/A interviews with famous designers which turn out to be very interesting and helpful. The price on Amazon was cheaper than at my university bookstore so I am happy.
