The Iconic

The packaging of a product is crucial to its profitability and emotional feel. The packaging is the first thing that some one notices when they look at a product. When first looking at a product, we always make snap judgments based on its design. The product is either appealing or not. The other key part in design is if it is involved in its function. Many products incorporate use into their design, for instance the Coca-Cola can opens at the top, which allows us to drink the product inside. If a product has appealing design that’s has great usability it could be a great product.
Any big product in today’s society has iconic packaging. The monster bottle is a black can with an M that looks like a beast scratched it out of the can. It is very bold but simple and give you the feeling that you are going to be given mass amounts of energy. Another iconic product design is the Macintosh apple design. It stand for the finest in computer and MP3 products. Any fast food chain or cereal product had its own mascot that symbolizes the product. If a product wants to be timeless it must have a design that can be changed but still maintains it basic loveable appeal.
Design is often incorporated with use ability. A cereal box it is made to show off the product plus to be able to re-close for later use. It also is made so the product can be pored right out the top with ease. Pop can have the tab at the top that allows the can to be opened. Some times it is very hard to open the can it you do not poses long finger nails though. You also have to be careful when opening the can so as to not cut yourself on the open metal edge.
