C9 Understanding of packaging design
During my degree and in my past experiences I have never come across package design. Therefore, I know that I am going to be approaching this part of the audit without any knowledge. I can imagine that it is quite a vast area of Design and Technology and obviously a very crucial one as well as it can be the selling point for products. So to start with I have marked this area of the audit as it stands as a '1' meaning very little knowledge if not any at all.

Initial understanding of the term 'UNDERSTANDING OF PACKAGING DESIGN
To begin with I think I understand in some ways what this area of the audit is all about. I would say that packaging is very important for most products whether it being food, or a product that has been mass-produced. As consumers I think people are very drawn to packaging it can in some sense help to sell an item maybe by the colours that have been used or the uniqueness of the packaging itself. It is also important to know that packaging is also included with food products not just to make the product look appealing but also to actually protect the food. Furthermore, it can also protect electrical products or items that are fragile. I know more about packaging from a consumers point of view, and never really have come across designing packaging so hopefully I shall explore this area further and see if I can understand more about this area within the Design and Technology realm.

What I have learnt and what I understand now...
I really need to explore this area further next year. I have not really had the chance to investigate what this really entails. I do have some kind of understanding so far as I have learnt a bits and bobs as I have progressed in the course but next year I really want to be able to dig deeper into what this really entails and how it relates and transfers to a design and technology context.
