Future Perspective : Design Process of Perfume Packaging

Abstract

In a world where technology develops at a rapid speed a packaging designer should have the ability to adapt to the challenges in a world where the packaging landscape might look far more different from today. This thesis will look at possible future scenarios relating to resources, infrastructure and consumer behaviour in the year 2050. It will then go on to discuss the emergence of new packaging materials pitted to replace plastic, as well as take a look at printed electronics in packaging and the potential of additive manufacturing. Through the research the outcome will take a previous completed design of perfume packaging and project it into the future landscape. The design solution will be 3D renderings accompanied by a drawn scenario based on the scenario research to demonstrate how a consumer might interact with packaging in the middle of the 21st century.
