I'm a packaging design major at Hunan University of Technology, and now I'm a sophomore. I have been studying packaging design for two years.
Secondly, it should be said that the specialty of packaging design is the trump card specialty of Hunan University of Technology, which is known as the first in the country at home and abroad, and is also recognized in the packaging design specialty of domestic engineering colleges. There is no doubt that it is in the forefront of the country, and one of the few universities of science and technology that separately lists packaging design as a major. Mainly because the packaging major is the main major of Hunan University of Technology, with the slogan of "industrial background, packaging characteristics".
For individuals who want to study packaging design, Hunan University of Technology and Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts are recommended. In fact, the visual communication design of major art institutes has covered the course and knowledge of packaging design, but the above schools have separate packaging design majors.
Brief introduction of packaging design specialty
The emergence of packaging design is to meet the increasingly high requirements of the market for packaging aesthetics and safety; Features: It is a combination of graphic design, structural design, product design and intelligence. In the future, I mainly engaged in packaging appearance design, packaging decoration design and packaging structure design in design companies and company design departments.
Introduction to professional courses
In our school, the main courses of packaging design major are: graphic design, font design, layout design, illustration design, packaging design foundation, container modeling design, packaging structure design, packaging machinery, modern design history and other courses. In addition, after class, self-study AI, PS, C4D and other software to facilitate homework and post-design needs. Personally, the courses of graphic design, font design, layout design and illustration design of packaging design are aimed at packaging aesthetics design, while the courses of container modeling design, packaging structure design and packaging machinery are designed according to the functions of packaging safety, storage, transportation and accommodation.
Personal feeling
I still have a lot of knowledge about packaging design, especially the term packaging. I understand that good packaging should be inclusive, safe, aesthetic, humanistic and sustainable. Personally, I think the packaging design of Hunan University of Technology is really fierce, but in fact it is also the main individual. Less than half of them really study packaging design in class, and the calendar year of final design will not be more than half. It makes sense to say that universities rely on self-study.

Packaging, printing and plate making
The above is my professional curriculum for this semester.
About employment
Mainly engaged in graphic design, packaging appearance design, packaging decoration design and packaging structure design in design companies and company design departments. More than a dozen packaging design graduates I know have chosen the postgraduate entrance examination. Generally, they will also go to Hunan University of Technology for postgraduate study, because the graduate students majoring in packaging design are very good and are recognized by the external design industry. If hired, almost a few will go to Shenzhen Baixinglong Packaging Design and Tiger Pan Design Company. More is a variety of employment.

Finally, I want to say, whether it is packaging design or other design majors. Design needs a part of talent, and more is hard work and hands-on. I wish you success in your studies.
