 Packaging design is not merely about wrapping a product in an attractive cover; it's a strategic blend of artistry and functionality. Whether you're launching a new product or revamping an existing one, the packaging plays a pivotal role in shaping consumer perception and driving purchasing decisions. But why is packaging design so important? Imagine walking down an aisle at Target. It's filled with 15 brand variations of that last product you need to check off on your shopping list. Issue is that you're late to Sunday family dinner because you spent too long in the clothing section… and the shoes… accessories… makeup… home decor… and you had to be at your mom’s house 30 minutes ago. You know what, it doesn't matter. You probably know that these products are competing for your attention, but you may not realize that they are. What makes you reach for one over the others in a time crunch? Often, it's the packaging. Effective packaging design serves several crucial purposes: First Impressions Matter Consumers form initial judgments about a product within seconds. Eye-catching packaging can immediately capture attention and create a positive first impression. Brand Identity and Recognition Packaging design is a visual representation of your brand. It communicates your brand’s values, personality, and promises, helping to build recognition and loyalty among consumers. The more you trust a brand, the easier it is to pick out that product on a busy shelf with little to no thought. All because you saw that exact shade of blue and a logo when you entered the isle! Differentiation in a Crowded Market In a competitive market, unique packaging can set your product apart from competitors. It not only attracts but also engages consumers, making them more likely to choose your product over others. Attracting a young female demographic? You're going to want to opt in for trending teenage aesthetics (when in doubt, search ‘dorm decorations’ on pinterest. You’ll find your design aesthetic in about 3 seconds). Attracting a male millennial? Make it look practical. Opt for trusting colors, fonts, and graphics. (check out Allie’s pinterest board to get a deeper understanding of this design aesthetic). Protection and Functionality Beyond aesthetics, packaging must protect the product during transit and storage while being practical for consumers to use. It could look pretty and enable a first time customer to try out your product, but they won’t come back for more if they have a hard time opening the package, find a broken piece inside the package, or have a poor experience when using the product because of how the packaging functions. With these important factors that fuel packaging designs, there is also a need to be aware of what I believe are the key elements that need to be considered during the packaging design process. Visual Appeal: Colors, typography, imagery, and overall aesthetics should align with your brand identity and appeal to your target audience. Clarity and Information: Essential product information such as ingredients, usage instructions, and benefits should be communicated clearly and prominently. Practicality: Packaging should be easy to handle, open, and reseal if necessary. User experience plays a crucial role in consumer satisfaction. Sustainability: Increasingly, consumers prefer environmentally friendly packaging. Using recyclable materials or minimizing packaging waste can enhance brand perception. I know, that was a lot to take in. To help clearly understand all of the concepts I just word vomited at you, let's talk about some cases of brands that have achieved notable success through innovative packaging design. First, Apple. Apple is known for its minimalist and sleek packaging that enhances the premium feel of its products. When thinking about Apple's package designs, we think more about the user experience and less about the designs on the box. We don’t go to the store to look at the different selections of $1,000 phones and other high value technology. These items are an investment for an individual, so they are going to take time to consider their options before enacting a purchase. When they do decide to finally put that save up for these investments, they walk into the store knowing exactly what they want. This means Apple doesn't need the flashy packaging. They choose simple aesthetics and bold photography that makes the individual crave the experience of opening up their new laptop they worked long hours to buy. All they need to know is that the laptop is in there… and they do because of that intense photo of the product right on the front. They know it's a macbook pro, so we don’t need the title under it. They place it in a smaller size with minimally contrasted color on the side to validate that second thought at check out that goes something like ‘Wait, this is the macbook… right?” The real experience starts after you go 20 over the speed limit to get home and unbox your new pride and joy of a laptop. Next thing you know you are fixated on it for the next 2 weeks just because you’re so proud of yourself for being a big girl and saving your money. Need to know what time the mall closes? No worries, let me search that for you on my brand new macbook. OMG! I got an email! Let me go read it on my brand new macbook. Who needs a phone? I can text you on my brand new macbook. Wow! Allie finally stepped away from her macbook and went to the store! Don’t worry, I was at Hobby Lobby finding some new stickers to put on it. I also grabbed a few other things that match the aesthetic of my new screen savers I designed… on my brand new macbook… for my brand. New. macbook. … I have totally never done this before! Seriously though. Apple has carefully thought through the user experience of purchasing a new product from start to finish, but especially when it comes to opening your new product for the first time. They designed each piece of paper, plastic, and cardboard to make the experience dramatic, engaging, easy, and enjoyable. Take the top lid off as the bottom box falls into your lap. Then you go through the layers of easily removable, protective cardboard barriers (with printed messaging that only excites you further) to finally reveal your new product. And while you do this your family sits there in excitement for you! Gosh, to be able to open a brand new apple product everyday. Similar to Apple, Tiffany & Co creates a luxurious user experience with the iconic Tiffany Blue Box. Watching your sales woman pull out that small cube of joy and place your new earrings inside is synonymous with luxury and has become a status symbol in itself. I haven’t experienced it though… I’m a graphic designer. I probably never will. I could go on for days. We could talk about how to target your demographic with the use of psychology, the design needs of different industries, how the packaging can influence a impulse purchase, or the influence of the ‘Boujee on a budget’ and ‘Luxury product ‘Dupes’ (if you are not apart of Gen Z, I suggest asking one about those two concepts for more context). This consumerist society we live in only keeps evolving and products need to make sure they are taking proper action in order to keep up with their target demographic. [BTW, if you’re targeting women in their 50’s you do in fact need to start making reels and paying influencers to promote your product. Yea. You heard me. Even my mom is on Tik Tok. it's not good for us… we are easily influenced by just about anything that breathes. We probably send each other about 25 reels today, and that is not an exaggeration.] With all of this fun talk, the bottom line is that packaging design is a powerful tool that goes beyond aesthetics; it influences purchasing decisions, reinforces brand identity, and enhances user experience. By understanding the importance of each element—from visual appeal to practicality and sustainability—and following a systematic design process, brands can create packaging that not only attracts attention but also delights consumers and builds long-lasting brand loyalty. In a competitive marketplace, investing in thoughtful and innovative packaging design can be the key to standing out and thriving. In our next blog post, we’ll dive deeper into the importance of brand identity, something that must be established to perfection before you even think about designing your packaging! Until then, Stay Wild.
 I already know what you’re thinking… Why is a creative agency writing a post about something a 1st grade teacher infuses into their weekly lesson plans for their students? It’s pure and simple: creatives and 1st graders have a lot of the same needs! No, really. Enrichment is defined as an experience that makes something more meaningful, substantial, or rewarding. In the context of a 1st grade classroom setting, an enrichment activity is a fun lesson that allows children to develop new skills. It fuses creativity and learning and allows the brain to work effortlessly. If you're a creative, you probably know what the Land Study is by now. It is basically engraved into our brains by our professors from day 1. But for those who aren’t familiar, the Land Study was a creativity study conducted by George Land in 1968. During this study, he compared the levels of creativity of over 1,000 adolescents ages 3 to 5. He tested this group of children every 5 years to assess whether they became more or less creative as they grew up. The results showed that their creativity and creative thinking took drastic decreases within each 5 year period. When tested on adult subjects, it was found that there was barely any creativity left in them. The explanation is pure and simple. Children are conditioned to lose their creativity at a young age. They’re taught to not ask questions and are advised to explore cautiously. Color inside the lines and seek approval from others. You guessed it, these are all the things you should not do when being creative. So basically, every creative professional has to pay for a degree just to be re-taught all the skills they already had at age 3. I sure bet my parents wish they didn’t hold me back from asking 1,000 questions now! What I am trying to get at here is that creatives and children are a lot alike. So, we need a lot of things children need. One being enrichment! Along with children, zoo animals also need enrichment time. Weird connection.. But let me prove my point here. These animals need time to engage different parts of their bodies since they are not in their natural habitat. These enrichment activities are broken into three categories: social, sensory, and feeding. And what do ya know, creative enrichment also falls into these three categories! Our computer screen acts as a creative zoo cage. Were locked in all day, away from our natural habitat (that being the outside world). We need enrichment activities throughout our days to make sure other parts of our bodies are being engaged, giving our creative brains a rest. Just like the zoo animals, we need social, sensory, and feeding (lunch) enrichment for those creative breaks. Here at Ape Forge, our very own Allie coined the term ‘enrichment time’ within our office after the first few weeks of her internship. She found that she couldn’t be creative throughout the whole day if she didn’t get up, step away from the computer, and interact with something other than her projects. Enrichment time looks different every day. Some days it's getting lunch or office shopping with the team, other days it’s doing a tactile craft on the office floor or re-arranging your office space. We have taken it to some extremes. We’ve gotten on flights to New York and Portland, moved into new offices, gone to the Toledo Zoo, and started a new podcast. Because, why not? A lot of these needs stem from a much needed creative break. Enrichment time still takes creative thinking, but the kind that takes much less effort. It's the fun things, the things that spark inspiration for our work. When hiring creatives onto your team, it's important to educate yourself on their creative needs. This means that you can’t suppress your employee for taking time away from her desk to talk to coworkers. They need that social interaction! It is especially hard for creatives who work as in-house designers. These types of designers are typically a party of 1 within a company. They are the go to person for every single graphic design project within typically very large corporations that have the funds needed to compensate a designer. Which isn’t cheap, we go to school for a reason. Our logo is worth way more that 20 dollars and a coffee, contrary to popular belief. These large corporations have absolutely no idea what a creative person needs. The rest of their employees can get through an 8 hour day sitting at their desk (or so they think…). So, yes, we feel for our in-house graphic design besties. We hope they’re okay and know how to properly communicate their needs. And if they can’t, well now they can send their boss this article (: I guess all we are trying to say here is that creatives need time at work to, well, not work. They need to go out and play, let their hair down, and be free like the wind. So, next time you see your designer ‘slacking off’, let them. All they’re trying to do is let their little creative brands take a rest so they can, in return, produce better quality work for you. That is all we have for this blog, but don’t worry! We are already obsessing about next week's topic: ‘What Sexy Packaging Design Does to a Designer’. Until then, stay wild!
 As designers, we need an environment tailored to our creative needs to get through our days. We find inspiration in our surroundings, and those surroundings also need to act as a cozy place that makes us feel all warm on the inside. Many other professionals in the business world are given offices with furniture they did not pick (and cannot replace… even if they buy it themselves) with a stale wall color and little opportunity for natural light. Even worse… some people get a cubicle! We are really sorry if you are one of them. We empathize with you. When your manager shows you to your new, drab work space on your first day they’re all like: “Here’s your new space! You’re really lucky to get this one, a lot of employees are jealous of you already. Others would kill for this desk. Feel free to spruce it up how you want!” Here’s a translation of that message: I gave you the retired guy's office because I didn’t want to distract a bunch of my employees by moving everyone around. Soooo good luck your new coworkers hate you! …and by spruce it up I mean ‘You can have 3 framed photos of your family, maybe a fun pencil holder.. but not too fun, one framed photo on the far wall, and your diploma behind you’. Awesome… Thanks Todd! As much as we want to scold this type of environment and give these companies an earful, we know that this is not something people even know is a problem. From a young age, we have been conditioned to believe that an office is a place where you go to work and only work. You leave your personality, wants, and needs at the door because for 8 hours a day you are a company robot. We strive to get older and work a 9-5 because that's the American dream. What we fail to realize is that the American dream leads us to a cold office with fluorescent lights that drain our energy by 11 am. We will admit it, though, the business world is starting to wake up. Lots of office spaces are transforming with their employees' wants and needs in mind. We applaud that! Seriously. We’re hoping this positive change only continues until work is enjoyable for everyone. It will take a lot of work, but we believe it can get there one day. Here at Ape Forge, we pride ourselves in making sure we're creating environments that fuel our teams creativity. When explaining how we accomplish this, we like to go back into time when our very own Allie started as an intern in the long lost days of the summer of ‘23 (yes. last summer.). On her first day in the office, Matt did not hesitate to ask ‘Is there anything you need to make this space more comfortable for you?’. This threw her for a loop. She thought he was asking if she needed a new sketchbook and pencils, but she had no idea what he actually meant. This led her to decline his offer. Even though she said ‘no thanks!’ he kept asking. She was so confused as to why he was so persistent about it. This confusion soon went away a month later on Tori’s first day back in office. That morning, Matt asked Tori that same question, ‘Is there anything you need to make this space more comfortable for you?’. The difference here was that Tori said yes. She had so many ideas to make their office space their own. Allie sat confused as to why Tori was so confident in her requests. That afternoon the team went to Hobby Lobby to fulfill those requests. That's when it clicked for Allie. All Matt wanted was for the team to feel comfortable in their spaces. Soon Allie joined in with her opinions and the rest was history. Now Allie and Tori’s office will forever be known as the calm, light, and relaxing bohemian style jungle room filled with red woods, lots of moody greens, bright whites, and many gold accents. Though the vibes of each office are established now, they will never stop changing. Matt will never stop moving his space around and Allie will never stop thinking of a new project she wants to complete in order to make her and Tori’s space even more personalized. Her current project idea is making a frame for their TV. She is also waiting for her new white couch she bullied Matt into ordering for her… She just wanted to be able to chillax while doing her projects, and obviously a couch would solve that issue. We expect nothing less from her. Some may say Allie believes the company has endless amounts of money that is all invested in her outlandish requests. All jokes aside, investing in your employees creative space means investing in your company’s success. We know, it's scary thinking about losing money on the fancier desk and chair (or in our case, a couch), but think about how amazing it will be when your employees are excited to come to work everyday and project execution quality is higher than it's ever been. When re-inventing an office space to tailor to your employee’s needs, here is a list of questions we believe should be considered:
Additionally, we have created a list of categories that we believe should be considered when creating an uplifting space for your employees:
Thinking about this can be overwhelming, we know, but were hoping this helps a little. Re-Inventing these spaces will be something that takes time, but we will always encourage someone to start now instead of later. Starting today puts you on the fast track to success. Maybe even consider starting with conversation and try to understand these potential needs from your team’s perspective. Their thoughts might take this new understanding of creative spaces to the next level and open up doors you may have never thought existed. Join us next week when we continue the conversation around creative needs as we unpack what ‘Enrichment Time’ is. Until then, stay wild.
 After reflecting on our lives as designers in episode 2 of our new podcast ‘Designers AF’ this week, we have found it evident that being a Graphic Designer means that everyday is different. Some of the factors that affect the differentiating daily schedule of a designer are as follows:
All 5 of these factors create a harmonious work life for a designer, but the true harmony is found in the ability to change the level the priority each factor holds on a day to day basis. One day we may be on a creative high, willingly sitting behind our computer from sun up to sun down because we can’t help the excitement that comes with the end vision of the logo we are working on. The next day, though, we may only be able to get a few tasks done because our creative drive is on low due to other personal priorities that are weighing it down. There is beauty in both kinds of days and it is crucial to embrace both… especially the sun up to sun down kind. That doesn’t happen often… but, yes, we do feel like prodigies when it does. I could ramble on for days about the different types of days designers can experience… but I don’t think anyone wants to read a multi-chapter blog about all of this. Especially designers. Well, that's unless we really don’t want to start the first draft of that logo we were supposed to have done 3 days ago. Why not take a few more hours to procrastinate and pray our client is too busy to realize! For real though. Let’s go through the 5 most crucial factors that create differentiation in a designers daily routine. 1. Correlation Between Time of Day and our Creative Drive The time of day in which a designer tries to work will only have a positive outcome if their creative juices are pumping. If we open our laptop and feel no adrenaline while looking at our task list, we might as well shut our laptops and spend our time elsewhere. That time will just be wasted as we sit on tik tok, telling ourselves ‘5 more videos then we will put the phone down and start building that website’. Next thing you know 2 hours have passed and our laptop is dead because we didn’t plug it in when we opened it. A lot of designers have that time of day that works best for them. Even the time of day our 3 design team members work is different. For Tori, it’s typically whenever her little guy is sleeping. She’s a toddler mom working from home, so of course we let her decide when to prioritize her family over her work. Chances are that Matt will be up to respond to her when she’s working at 12 AM anyways. For Allie, it’s typically 8 AM when she is the first one to arrive to the office. She thrives when the 2 large iced coffees she chugged in a top speed of 3 minutes are coursing through her body. She also has no one around to talk to, so she's forced to entertain herself somehow (you guessed right, she has raging ADHD. She never shuts up). For Matt, we’re still trying to figure that one out. It seems like he's never not working, but at the same time is never working? 2. Type of Work that is on our Task List A designer's list of tasks can make or break their level of productivity each day. Dread the idea of designing a web layout? Well, you're in luck! You were just assigned a web project! Good luck trying to get anything done this week. That is why it is crucial for designers to make sure they are taking on projects that excite them. If we are working on a project that we’re not vibing with, it will drag us down for days. And when it is done, it won’t be great. This creates a lose-lose situation for both the client and the designer. If you aren't aware, that is quite literally the worst possible outcome of any project ever known to man. This is why we take the time at Ape Forge to communicate both internally as a team and externally with potential clients. We don’t want a potentially amazing project to have a bad outcome just because our team isn’t excited about it. We would rather turn a potential client down to point them in the right direction. We want them to be successful, with or without us, and celebrate with them no matter what. 3. The Space Surrounding You Now this one. This one is so important. The space around a designer is so crucial to their everyday success. It can either inspire or hinder us. Our creative space needs to be crafted to perfection for both our physical and mental needs. When it comes to our physical needs, we need to think of comfort. Some questions you could ask yourself when creating this space may be:
On the opposite end, mental needs are just as, or even more, important when compared to the physical needs of a space. You need to feel safe in the space you work in. Some questions you could ask regarding the mental needs of your space include:
Interesting, right? If there is one thing we prioritize at Ape Forge, it is our creative spaces. We love talking about it, so naturally this is the topic for the next blog and podcast. Stay tuned (; 4. Project Deadlines This is something designers hate to admit. Project deadlines mean nothing to us… until about 5 hours before the deadline. We like to play this fun game called ‘wait as long as possible to start a project so you can stress yourself to death’. It’s so cool, we really think other professions should try it sometime. All jokes aside, designers really do thrive off the pressure of time. This is not to scare our clients, though. We promise that you would rather see the work we waited last minute to do over the work we slowly completed over a week. Seriously. This pressure will most definitely be a defining factor on our everyday lives as designers. There are days where we have no deadlines and feel little drive to get projects done and take our creativity elsewhere. Don’t bother us in 2 weeks though, we will have 3 deadlines we have to meet in 2 hours. 5. Seasonality of Burnout As a designer, you hope to avoid burnout. I hate to break it to you, but it’s impossible. Designers battle thousands of burnout seasons within their career. Since we can’t avoid it, we have to embrace it. These seasons of burnout impact our daily design lives immensely and it is most definitely felt. The best thing a designer can do during this period is take time to communicate, step away from their work, and time to recharge their creative energy. If all of this doesn’t act as evidence of the ever changing nature of a designer’s daily life, we don’t know what will. When working with a designer, take a moment to step into our shoes. Our everyday lives are shaped around our passion for the work we do and crafting our clients to perfection, down to the tiniest pixel. Stop by next week for our article about crafting the perfect creative space! Until then, Stay wild.
 In the first episode of "Designers AF", the Ape Forge team sit down for a "welcome back" conversation with Allie. This episode highlights Allie's return to Ape Forge as a full-time graphic designer and project manager, heralding an exciting new chapter for the team. Throughout the discussion, Tori and Matt delve into Allie's professional journey, exploring her career trajectory, the challenges she's overcome, and the driving forces behind her passion for design and project management. Whether you're a fellow creative or simply curious about the inner workings of a dynamic creative agency, this episode offers a deep and intimate look into the creative team at Ape Forge.  In today's digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for the success and growth of any small business. Your website is often the first point of contact between your brand and potential customers. Therefore, it's essential to make sure your website is up-to-date, user-friendly, and visually appealing to create a positive impression and encourage customer engagement. If your small business is looking to grow, a website refresh may be just the solution you need. Here are some reasons why a website refresh can benefit your small business:
1. Improved User Experience: A website refresh can help improve the user experience for visitors to your site. By updating your website design, navigation, and overall functionality, you can make it easier for users to find the information they are looking for and navigate through your site seamlessly. A positive user experience can lead to increased engagement, longer time spent on your site, and higher conversion rates. 2. Enhance Brand Image: Your website is a reflection of your brand. An outdated or poorly designed website can give the impression that your business is not professional or up-to-date. A website refresh can help you modernize your brand image, showcase your products or services in a more appealing way, and build trust with your audience. 3. Mobile Responsiveness: With the increasing use of mobile devices, having a mobile-responsive website is crucial. A website refresh can ensure that your site is optimized for mobile devices, providing a seamless experience for users accessing your site on smartphones and tablets. This can help you reach a wider audience and improve your search engine rankings, as Google prioritizes mobile-friendly websites. 4. SEO Optimization: Search engine optimization (SEO) is essential for driving organic traffic to your website. A website refresh can help you optimize your site for search engines by updating meta tags, improving site speed, and implementing relevant keywords. This can help improve your website's visibility in search engine results and attract more potential customers to your site. 5. Stay Ahead of the Competition: The online landscape is constantly evolving, and your competitors are likely updating their websites to stay ahead. By refreshing your website regularly, you can stay competitive and ensure that your business is not falling behind. Keeping your website current and engaging can help you stand out from the competition and attract new customers. A website refresh can be a valuable investment for small businesses looking to grow. By improving user experience, enhancing brand image, optimizing for mobile, boosting SEO, and staying ahead of the competition, a website refresh can help you attract more customers, increase conversions, and achieve your growth goals. If you're considering a website refresh for your small business, now is the perfect time to take the next step towards success.  In the world of design, typography plays a crucial role in the success or failure of a message. The way in which words are presented, the font choice, spacing, alignment, and size all contribute to the overall impact of a design, layout, or medium. Typography can make or break the aesthetic appeal of a piece, as well as influence how the message is perceived by the reader and how the reader engages with it.  At Ape Forge, we understand the importance of typography in effective communication. Our approach to the creative process involves careful consideration of typography to ensure that every message is conveyed with clarity, impact, and coherence. We believe that typography is not just about choosing a font, but about creating an experience that resonates with the audience. One of the key aspects of typography that we focus on is readability. The readability of text is essential for ensuring that the message is easily understood by the reader. This includes selecting fonts that are clear and legible, as well as ensuring that the text is spaced and aligned in a way that is easy to follow. By paying attention to these details, we can create designs that are both visually appealing and user-friendly.  Borrowed from Another important aspect of typography is the emotional impact it can have on the audience. Different fonts convey different emotions and can evoke a range of feelings in the reader. For example, a bold, sans-serif font might convey strength and confidence, while a more delicate script font might evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication. By choosing the right font for the message, we can enhance the overall tone and mood of a design. In addition to readability and emotional impact, typography also plays a crucial role in establishing hierarchy and emphasis within a design. By varying the size, weight, and style of text, we can guide the reader's eye and draw attention to key elements of the message. This helps to ensure that the most important information is highlighted and that the overall message is clear and impactful. Our team at Ape Forge approaches the creative process with our clients' best interests in mind. We understand that effective communication is the key to success in design, and we work closely with our clients to ensure that their message is communicated with clarity and precision. By incorporating thoughtful typography into our designs, we are able to create engaging and impactful visuals that resonate with the audience.
Long story short, typography matters. It is a powerful tool that can make or break a design, layout, or medium. By paying attention to the nuances of typography, we can create designs that are not only visually appealing but also effective in communicating messages with impact. At Ape Forge, we strive to make every message count, and we believe that careful attention to typography is essential in achieving that goal.  In the world of marketing and design, the decision of whether to hire a creative agency or a freelancer can be a crucial one. Each option has its own unique set of benefits and considerations, and understanding when to choose one over the other can greatly impact the success of a project.
