@RachelGarrity_ @ClemsonGC It's so "cool" seeing these new developments in the packaging and printing industry -- would love to get my own self-chilling beverage can! #gcflexo

@madgearha @ClemsonGC Metallics and shiny things definitely catch my eye -- would be cool to be able to print with metallic inks in Godfrey one day to see this incorporated into my designs! #gcflexo

The trend of metallic inks in product designs has taken off. This article from the Global News Wire predicts an increase to $2.3 billion. Although these inks may be costly for producers, they are more likely to catch consumer eyes. @ClemsonGC #gcflexo globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

Neat to see how the bottle label printing industry is moving towards big, simple, & bold designs. Simplicity really catches the customer's eye these days! This trend will be something I will have to keep in mind as I continue to design. @ClemsonGC #gcflexo goo.gl/Shfuch

@CourtneySchnorr @ClemsonGC Thanks for sharing, Courtney--definitely will keep this in mind for the remainder of our lab assignments this semester! #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@carschoenberger @ClemsonGC Consistent branding is a big deal for companies nowadays! It can sometimes be the difference between recognizing the Coca-Cola red or the Target red. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

The growth of the security print industry into niches such as concert/sports tickets, ID badges, and drivers' licenses to reduce the amount of counterfeits is super interesting to explore! goo.gl/FAVuKM #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@klawson_gc @ClemsonGC It's so true that consumers today are looking for the best product experience--& they are willing to pay for it. Using foil is a great decision for the packaging industry, because this feature will catch the customer's eye & elevate the industry even further. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@ClemsonGC #gcflexo pcmc.com/blog/pcmc/2018… This article focuses on foil stamping, stating its popularity in flexo is due to the fact that "Decoration is the operative word today." Consumers want more from their products- they want an experience, and foil is a great solution.

@amandasgc @ClemsonGC Foils have really caught my eye in our flexo label project for GC 4060 -- it's neat to see their real-world application in this article! Thanks, Amanda!#gcflexo @ClemsonGC

Creating a flexo label in GC4060 has really sparked my interest. It's encouraging to see that the packaging industry for food and beverage is on the rise -- this industry growth is exciting to see as I prepare to enter the workforce! goo.gl/UNeGFP #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@Dyl_McCullough With it just having been Earth Day, these tips for post-processing in landscape photography are super helpful in speeding up your editing process for all of your beautiful pictures of Mother Nature! #GC3400 @ClemsonGC

@aegore_gc @ClemsonGC As I have just accepted an internship for this summer, I look forward to using these tips in future interviews for my next internship! Thanks Alex! #GC3400

As we start to prepare for intern employer day tomorrow, take a second to look over this helpful article I found about interviews. This article gave me some interesting tips on preparing for an interview. Good luck #GCfam. #GC3400 @ClemsonGC thebalance.com/top-interview-…

@RachelRitter17 @jrtaylor1997 @ClemsonGC The same goes for me, Rachel--the tips in this article will surely help cut down on the time I spend mindlessly scrolling through fonts. Now I know exactly what to look for! #GC3400

@RachelRitter17 @ClemsonGC The simplicity of the web without JavaScript really shows how much there still is to learn about coding and web design, even beyond what we have already learned about HTML and CSS! #GC3400

@RachelRitter17 @ClemsonGC I've never thought about how creativity can actually be measured! The four elements that factor into the measurement of creativity--cognitive process, personality traits, product/outcome, & environmental context--really help explain what creativity all boils down to! #GC3400

@klawson_gc @ClemsonGC This brings me back to the days of GC 1020 and our snack packaging project. We've all come so far in our design skills in just two years. Gets me excited to take GC406 next semester - packaging and specialty printing! #GC3400

This article explains the growing consumer trend towards clear packaging and "minimalist" graphics that only give the big facts about a product. As this consumer preference grows, it will change the way designers create food packages. @ClemsonGC #GC3400 piworld.com/article/consum…

@Kailey_N_Arnold @ClemsonGC You're right--branding is so interesting! As stated in the article, it is so true that brands serve as shortcuts for the brain that help us make good decisions. The importance of branding may just inspire me to take a Brand Comm class here at Clemson before I graduate. #GC3400

Branding is so interesting! Learn about companies who decided to go brandless - and why they didn't work out. #gc3400 @ClemsonGC #2d88aa0e47a6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/ryanersk…

@carschoenberger @ClemsonGC You are so right! I'm glad we are learning new skills in our graphics courses all the time--having a wide range of knowledge from different industries will be so helpful in the long run when we enter the workforce! #GC3400

@madgearha @ClemsonGC Instagram's logo update was a big deal in 2016, and everyone thought the logo was ugly and minimalist. Nowadays, the old logo pre-2016 seems outdated. Instagram is definitely a forerunner in keeping up with the latest design trends! #GC3400

Amazing how logos adapt over the years to keep up with target audiences and technology! #GC3400 @ClemsonGC twitter.com/printmag/statu…
