BLACK
LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

Drug Packaging Design

There are approximately 10 000 injuries or deaths from poor medication packaging design. “Drug Packaging Design” is a collection piece with a determined attempt at improving the key issue of medication errors caused by poorly designed packages. It serves as an educational reference for designers to produce visually accessible packaging and contribute to a decrease in these injuries and deaths.

About the designer

My name is Jooeun Kim and I am a Korean Canadian graphic designer who focuses on brand design, editorial work, and thoughtful human experience with an identity system. I enjoy high-contrast, bold, playful and recognizable designs that are not only visually appealing but have a positive change. When I'm not talking about design, I enjoy talking about being from Nova Scotia (maybe a bit too much).

This handbook educates readers on the issues of medication packaging as well as how they can solve them. The first section deals with the issues on the topic while the second is comprised of guidelines for designers to avoid creating problematic drug packaging.
The website is an electronic version of the book created for designers more accustomed to reading online and allows the work to be accessible from anywhere.
The advertisement is a three-piece series that takes on different design problems within medication packaging as well as advertise the handbook to the public. The texture of the project aims to replicate the visual experience of someone who might have trouble analyzing drug packaging.
