UM Design Students visit Dodd Communications

Thanks to the Staff at Dodd Communications for a hands-on learning experience. The mini-printing seminar was conducted by Lilli Rivera.
We discussed print production; how to prepare the files, how to create a printing request form, different techniques and tips for a successful printing job from beginning to end. We visited the tech department where the files are checked; the proofing dpt. where the iris and other proofs are produced (depending on the client); the presses where the job is printed!; the cutting and binding departments; and the shipping and fulfillment. Thanks, again. We loved it!!! UM  Design Students- art391/art491

Packaging Redesign

Tasked with redesigning the packaging for an existing product with a focus on making it more sustainable, I chose to concentrate on flash drives which are sold in difficult to open packages made of plastic. The design I created makes use of one piece of recyclable material folded without the use of adhesives. No glue and no plastic make for much more environmentally friendly packaging.

FIELD TRIP TO THE PRINTERS THIS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 10TH-10AM-11:30AM
