Sustainable Design (Task8)
Sustainable graphic design is the application of sustainability principles to graphic design.
It considers the environmental impacts of graphic design products (such
as packaging, printed materials, publications, etc.) throughout a life
cycle that includes: raw material; transformation; manufacturing;
transportation; use; and disposal.
Graphic designers engaged in sustainable practice use techniques, processes, and materials that will help reduce the detrimental environmental, social, and economic impact of their designs, also known as the Triple Bottom Line.

Packaging Design (Task6)
Role of Packaging:
- Protective
Protecting the contents from the environment and vice versa. The packaging is intended to protect the goods from loss, damage and theft.
-Storage
-Loading and transport
Convenient goods handling entails designing transport packaging in such a manner that it may be held, lifted, moved, set down and stowed easily, efficiently and safely.
-Sales and promotion
Attracting the potential purchaser's attention and to have a positive impact upon the purchasing decision.
-Guarantee
By supplying an undamaged and unblemished package, the manufacturer guarantees that the details on the packaging correspond to the contents.
-Additional
The extent to which the packaging materials or packaging containers may be reused once the package contents have been used. The most significant example is the recycling of paper, paperboard and cardboard packaging as waste paper.
