Spotted a move towards simpler designs on product labels around me. Recommendations for minimalist graphic design inspo? | Graphic Design Inspo - Opinions Matter
What kind of products need labels? I found looking at actual award-winning packaging online, like the Dieline site, gave me clear examples. They break down why simple designs work, which helped me spot trends. Saving images that used only one font and two colors became my go-to method.
Last week, I saw a craft beer label from Lagunitas. It used only one font and two colors, black and yellow. It stood out on the shelf because it was so clean. Same with those Method cleaning bottles, simple and easy to read. When you have too many fonts, it just looks messy. Less really is more for packaging, lol.
