When researching different types of design jobs I would be interested in after graduation from college I stumbled across packaging design. I find this field of design to be extremely exciting and interesting to me. Packaging is something that we see and use everyday, yet we don’t realize how important the designs of the packaging truly are for the brand. The packaging and the way you open a product is all a part of the experience and I think it would be exciting to create innovative designs for up-and-coming brands.

This article describes how designers aren’t just people with a creative talent as most people tend to think. It explains how designers plan, research, and analyze in order to succeed at communicating to a specific audience through their design. I really find communication design interesting because you don’t realize how big of an impact communication design has on your daily life until you really think about it.

I really enjoyed this article, Google’s way of hiring seems to be a more modern way of thinking. The don’t care so much about a GPA as they do the type of work ethic the person has or how they’re a leader and a team player. I feel that this is a smart way to hire people because it allows for more diversity within the company. If everyone working there had the same “perfect” resume I think it would be a boring place to work, and that goes for any company. Companies shouldn’t hire people base on numbers on a sheet of paper but rather their personality, communication skills and work ethic.
