Bob Bernstein

Packaging design

Bob Bernstein is a American businessman being the founder and co-founder of mutipul bisnesses but In 1969 and 1977 he worked with the McDonald`s chain to create designs and packaging. Which has been timeless ever since. I know that this man is not the most visionary designer but what I wanted to show from looking into him was how important packaging can be. The happy meal box was first created by Bernstein in 1977. When he first created the iconic packaging it was only realised in four cities to see how the response was as well as if the design was creating an impact when it came to being useful. After this period of McDonald`s analysing it they decided to make it a world wide product in there branches in 1979, from then the box has had different advertisements on the front but it has always worked well for what it was made for. It`s iconic to children who have grown up with the fast food chain near by. This packaging was needed but it has created an impact that`s more then just holding some chips and nuggets. This is an important fact when creating packaging. It needs to solve the problem you have plus stand out agents other competition.

This picture is from a McDonald`s in the late 1970`s. As you can tell this time period was quite some time ago but this item of packaging has manged to stay timeless though the decades which I think is a rare and iconic accomplishment.
