Episode description

In this episode, we look at packaging design and how different needs and requirements can change the way you design. We also discuss how consideration for disabilities, care for our environment, and other factors can influence your decisions as a designer. Brackish Mung or Is it time to rethink packaging design?

Some packaging is overly bloated and psychologically affects our purchase decisions, we look at some of the dark UX around packaging and how clear consistent labels, braille and colour accessibility should be used by default, rather than those bags of crisps with 90% air!
