Dieline is a blog which focuses specifically on packaging design. I thought this blog was especially interesting after our identity project. Dieline is considered to be the “Bible” of the packaging design sector. Here, designers can review, critique, and stay informed of the latest industry trends as well as check out design projects that are being created in the field. For graphic designers that specialize in packaging design Dieline is crucial to know about.

This blog is designed with a sleek, modern tone with the viewers usability kept in mind. This can be seen by the unique search bar located at the bottom of the screen. This bar utilizes a plain, black background with simple, white text over the top. The bar not only has a keyword search but 5 different categories to filter the results. The search bar includes multiple aspects that can be manipulated but utilizes simplicity with color and font to keep it from becoming too complicated for users.

The simple and sleek design can be seen when diving into any of the posted articles as well. Their main goal as a blog is to keep designers informed and it is obvious that they want to do it by giving the reader/viewer little to no distractions from the information.
