Call For Speakers & Save The Date: The Dieline Package Design Conference San Francisco

Brand strategies are now being built from the package outward – but a major shift happening now is towards the package design architecting all brand touch points based on the brand expression centering in the package design.
Brands, and designers are beginning to understand the value of starting with the package first. The Dieline Package Design Conference 2013 will show package designers how to extend the perception of their expertise and how to vocalize and be more articulate about what their design means to their brand.
We want to teach package designers to be better at considering the role of design in improving sales of a product, and to create meaningful differentiation. There are lots of beautiful designs out there, but not many are reinventing the perceptions of product benefits or paying off on shifting, emerging cultural ideology. We would like to change that.
The Dieline Package Design Conference 2013 will give package designers the language and tools to convince higher ups that their design is truly communicating to the brand target. We will elevate the role of package designers beyond craftsmanship discussions, and have more talks about becoming more influential and in demand, and how to become industry leaders.
Our goal is to go beyond presentations about geeking out on typography or what colors are in this year; The Dieline Conference 2013 will take a larger role of elevating the role of the package design and the package designer.
Interested in speaking at, sponsoring, exhibiting, or have questions about The Dieline Package Design Conference 2013?
Please contact Andrew Gibbs for more information at andrew@thedieline.com.
The Dieline Package Design Conference will take place on June 23-26 in San Francisco, CA.

The Dieline Package Design Awards Exhibit in Paris

I just returned last week from our first ever The Dieline Package Design Awards Exhibit, in the magnificent city of Paris! It was such an honor to have our 2012 Winner’s packaging on exhibit in the heart of Paris, steps from the Louvre.
I started The Dieline with the goal of sharing what I believe represents well designed packaging with the world. I wanted to elevate, and put a spotlight on the package design industry, and show everyone from designers to consumers that goes into the art of brand packaging. This exhibit is an extention of that goal. From over 800 entries, these projects truly represent the best of the best package designs across the globe over the past year.
The exhibit is presented by The Dieline, Diadeis, and the DesignPack Gallery, and is located underground in the Palais Royale / Musee De Louve metro stop. One of the most trafficed in Paris, over 3,000 people a day will walk by The Dieline Awards 2012 winners!
If you are in or around the Paris metro area, the winners will be on exhibit until November 17th. After that, the exhibit will be moved to the Diadies booth at Emballage 2012, from November 19th to the 22nd. Emballage is one of the largest packaging tradeshows in the world, with 89,000 professions visiting every other year.
