Thanks a lot lychee and iab!
Looks like the good old fashioned way, teaching myself through trying out, is advised the most by you. So you’re telling me to build up my own knowledge instead of asking others or using possible sources. I agree, as this is the best solution for the long term. However, my question was more aimed at short term solutions - if I’m looking for a mechanism to solve a design problem, I have right now.
@iab:
2. Quarterly factory visits: I’m still a student so I don’t have access to factories as far as I know. Were you talking about factories that belong to your employer?
3. What do you mean with “Pack Expo”? Abbreviation for “Packaging Exhibition”? Are you advising me to visit such exhibitions to gain inspiration?
Another source that came to my mind are tear-down blogs and videos. If you watch a couple of these and try to understand everything they’re saying, I guess you can learn a lot too.
Sources I know are:
https://www.fictiv.com/blog/topics/teardowns (great blog in general)
Perhaps anyone here knows other great sources, regarding my initial question and/or tear downs?
