2.0 out of 5 stars
dummy and wrong?, July 27, 2004
This review is from: Structural Package Designs + CD ROM (Agile Rabbit Editions) (Multilingual Edition) (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys crafts and modeling, or just to everybody who is curios about the making of things, because this book contains ready-to-use printable and editable (look for the cd-rom) patterns for the most used types of packaging on the market.
Be aware that this book is just a collection, a dummy, with no explanations.
But unfortunately, all the examples I have printed directly from the source files were somehow misfit and ended to be weird useless objects (stuff for 'The Design of Everyday Things' by Donald A. Norman, if you like).
I am not sure if this problem is in my copy of the book (an 'errata corrige'?), I hope that you'll be more lucky than me.
To all design students I would recommend this book, instead: 'The Packaging Designer's Book of Patterns' by Lazlo Roth, George L. Wybenga

I love this book!!, November 16, 2010
It is not much to say..just buy it!! I am graphic Design student and I deal constantly with designing packages for books and graphic material...This book had helped me a lot. It has made my life so much easier. It comes with the CD so you can download the template, the format let you open the file in Illustrator or Photoshop so you can easily re-sizes it to fit your project.

Good reference material., September 10, 2009
This review is from: Structural Package Designs + CD ROM (Agile Rabbit Editions) (Multilingual Edition) (Paperback)
This book does not have information on the principles of package design. It's main purpose is to provide diagrams of 100's of packages. It is good reference material for those wanting to see how to lay out a package template and includes a CD of the templates. It is a valuable tool for those that do a lot of package design.
