Today I went to Halifax Bankfield Museum, where I interviewed Curator of Industry Jeff Willkinson. The purpose of my visit to this Museum was to find out as much as possible about Quality Street product history and design for my Contextual Module, but also I managed to take some pictures of packaging for other products for my PDP5. Jeff showed me packaging, which was 40-70 years old. I received a lot of evidence how people used to advertise their products.
It was very interesting interview. I felt like I travelled in the past. I learnt a lot from my visit. First of all, how packaging evolved during the centuries. I think, if you interested in any design direction- you should know how it looked like in past, and to follow all stages of its development.
Below are some example of packaging design from Bankfield Museum
