RELEVANT TREND PALETTES FOR GRAPHIC AND PACKAGING DESIGN
“It’s pretty hard to catch someone’s eye on a shelf in a retail environment without having something out there that shimmers, pops - really just draws them in. That's why we would recommend using a metallic to provide that extra oomph from a visual perspective on-shelf.”
– Ron Furman, Damen Jackson Design Agency Founder/Owner
“In our visual society, where we are option saturated, attention-scarce, and design-obsessed, understanding how to leverage the power of color to tell your story will help you better engage and create strong emotional connections with your target audience, and build greater brand equity in a marketplace where competition for share of mind, heart, and pocketbook is fierce.”
– Laurie Pressman, VP, Pantone Color Institute
Color is a pivotal element of the design process and should be considered at the early stages of a project. Your palette should speak to the message you intend because those first, and maybe the ONLY seconds of impression are in which your product speaks to customers on shelf are crucially valuable.
