  • Product Analysis - Packaging
    Product Analysis - Packaging There are lots of types of food packaging used by companies to help sell their products. We can study these and can quite easily learn from these and make our own versions of them within our coursework projects in school. Over the following pages we will look at Existing Packaging and then compare these with examples that can be made in the school’s D&T department. Functions of Packaging The main functions of packaging are to: PROTECT THE PRODUCT CONTAIN THE PRODUCT ADVERTISE THE PRODUCT & OTHER PRODUCTS INFORM THE CUSTOMER Different Kinds of Packaging These are many types of packaging used. The main ones are: 1. Blister Packaging / Bubble Packaging 2. Clam Shell Packaging 3. Card Boxes These packages can also be placed onto Point of Sale Stands within the shop to help promote and sell the products. These are many types of Commercial Packaging used. 1. Flexible Packaging 2. Protective Packaging 3. Custom Packaging 4. Innovative Specialty Packaging Product Analysis: Packaging How to do Product Analysis? In order to learn about different types of food packaging it is good to look at what designers have already designed and look out for the features that go with them. Find a box or any type of packaging and draw what you see. You may find this easier if you draw in pencil first and then use a fine liner to draw in details. Next add colour to represent the material and colour scheme used. Finally label key features and materials used, then you can annotate the drawings you have done by asking yourself some simple questions.

Sponsors: Oklahoma Arts Council PI: Rebecca Brienen Arts Learning at Prairie Arts Arts Enrichment camps for youth and a community mural project at the Prairie Arts Center, an OSU‐City of Stillwater Community Arts Partnership. Sponsors: Oklahoma Arts Council PI: Rebecca Brienen Art, Community, and Salvation in Colonial Mexico The project is a book‐length study devoted to the art and visual culture of colonial Mexican confraternities. It participates in an increasingly transatlantic dialogue that situates lay religious communities, Spanish identity, an African diaspora, and indigeneity within the broader theoretical landscape of early modern studies. The book is aimed at art historians, intellectual and cultural historians, anthropologies, and scholars of religion. Sponsors: Oklahoma Humanities Council PI: Cristina Cruz González Constructing Sanctity in the Eighteenth‐Century Franciscan Mission Interrogates the transatlantic construction of sanctity. Focuses on Franciscan figures who made their religious mark in colonial Mexico, became targets of local religiosity, and were ultimately celebrated by Franciscan agents on both sides of the Atlantic. Sponsors: The Helmerich Center for American Research, University of Tulsa PI: Cristina Cruz González Agent Blue / Optical Brightener Archive This project studies Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs), which are non‐archival dyes that enhance inkjet paper. Under ultraviolet light, the OBAs glow dramatically and reveal their saturation. My primary goal is to illuminate this unseen quality of inkjet paper by arranging papers with different amounts of OBAs under ultraviolet light.
