Combining product and packaging design for increased added value and customer satisfaction

Abstract

Current paper shows an analysis of the conceptual design of products and packages that correspond to requested customer needs. A number of research tools, marketing/branding principles and product development techniques are presented. This study is an analytical demonstration of the whole design process from the concept to the final 3D rendered models with the use of a number of tools and methodologies i.e. mind maps, mood boards, sketches. In other words, it is a combination of marketing and designing principles that transformed the raw data received from customers into 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) modeled products; a set of sportive sunglasses paired with a hand-watch from the same product family and a set of classic sunglasses with a casual hand watch. Finally, this project can be considered a blend between theoretical and practical methods that have been chosen and practiced after extensive research.
