Key things they mentioned:

There has to be a dialogue

- designers work with others

- people live with the design experience - they need to like it

Find partners and organisations

- grants can come from lots of places

- you can get money from several places for one project

I'm not on my own when I finish

- I can talk to lecturers after I have left for any advice or help

The art on lorries project is really interesting as there are so many different styles used and this gets the artists' designs out there so the consumers can see it. This benefits both the lorry company and artists as this collaboration makes the lorry companies look good and interesting rather than just a plain ugly lorry and also advertises the artists work.

Wine quote 8/03/23

Some of the comments to this post include:

"I have a sucky memory so I remember my fav wines by the picture on the label. The starfish one is the best"

"I literally design wine labels for a living, and honestly that's how 90% of wine drinkers are, myself included. The being able to tell someone "get one with a duck on it" or whatever is a legit tactic since the wine aisle is wild with choices"

"If the art is good then the wine must be good too, right?!"

"I know the names from reading them so I can't actually pronounce them because most are french and you can never get french right"

This shows just how important the packaging design is on the bottle.

I will need to look into what theme and colour scheme I want to use to make my packaging stand out on the shelves.
