Yang Yan, Chinese-German Visual Communication Design Class of 20
What impressed me most in this course was that Mr. Kalauch overturned the very complicated design we started with.Teach us that less is more. Therefore, we took the advice of our teacher in the later design to adopt aA simpler but very effective wayto fit the characteristics of our target users and products. I gained a lot from this course, learning that design is oftenNot based on my own subjective ideas, but more on its suitability.

Jiang Jinxiu, Sino-German Visual Communication Design Class of 20
In the packaging design course, I had a lot of fun learning, although I encountered many difficulties in the design process.But Mr. Kalauch gave us all critical advice in a timely manner.For example, in this section of our report.He reminds us to articulate our designs to our clients through storiesThis is why we came up with the idea of using scenario interpretation (we had previously ignored this part of the debriefing). Through this course, we also realized thatNot only the design is important, but also the presentation is important.

I really enjoyed the Packaging Design course, it was a particularly rewarding course.Mr. Kalauch was very gentle and attentive, with detailed lectures, checking all the details of each lesson, and never tired of our questions.I spent a lot of time and effort on our design work. I learned the ideas and concepts of what a successful package design should be, the whole process of package design, how to design a distinctive and functional package, and how to follow up with branding.

I felt very happy and gained a lot from this packaging design course. First of all, the teachers taught me how to do packaging design for brands and successfully integrated theory with practice. I encountered some problems in the design process, and the teachers alsoPatiently made a lot of suggestions. I have also gained some understanding of packaging design.For example, the packaging needs to be designed for the target customer group, and the packaging needs to be functional, interesting, and contain design language.
