2. Hick's Law: too many color to choose.

3. Signifier: you can find the sticker notes by the lable.

-Continuity(strip): People view irregular color blocks as colorful stripe, which

bring out a clean, fresh and cool vibe.

-Closure(organized chunk): Human brain automatically divide image into 3 to 4 chunks.

Law of Similarity: The big words "LEMON TEA" are viewed as a group, since they're the same type of font.

Halo effect: Colors and the lemon image create a bright, fresh feeling

The red and orange are both bright colours that are able to catch attention easily also they work best with impulsive buyers and help appetite

Also the colours are analogue which means they are harmonic

Law of Proximity:

The ingredients are placed next to the crackers which makes one think that they are closely related

Also the brand name and the product name are grouped together to show they are related

Law of common region:

On the backside there is a ingredient list enclosed in a box making them share one region

The packaging design is like a jar of Bifido, so that people can see at a glance that it is a Bifido series of products.

Occam’s Razor

The packaging and instructions are simple and intuitive with no unnecessary complications or design, making them easier to understand and use.

Has 6 flavors: plain, chocolate, strawberry, mocha, taro, caramel

Color theory and law of similarity:

Colors identify the flavors of the milk:

Blue(plain), yellow(chocolate), pink(strawberry), brown(mocha), light brown(caramel), light purple(taro)

Law of proximity:

The information about the ingredients and vitamins are put closely together

Square: Gives a sense of stability, trust and professionalism.

Limited time period gives people a feeling of limited quantity

*Aesthetic-Usability: Compared to other green teas, this one has a rather delightful packaging design with the feeling of spring season by decorated with illustrations of cherry blossoms, which attracts me the most at first glance on the shelves.

*Jakob’s Law: Of course this product follows the most common design of plastic bottles to open by twisting counterclockwise.

*Zeigarnik Effect: It seems like a seasonal product that motivates me to buy or I might feel bad if I don’t get with the times.

Parkinson's Law states that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." While this law is typically applied to time management and productivity, it can also be metaphorically extended to other areas, such as the consumption of resources.

When we think about an Oreo package with mini Oreo packages inside, we can draw a parallel to Parkinson's Law in the following way:

1. Primary Package (Large Oreo Package): This represents the total time or resources available.

2. Sub-Packages (Mini Oreo Packages): These represent the smaller, subdivided portions of the total available resources or time.

Application of Parkinson's Law

1. Perception of Abundance:

   - With a large Oreo package, there is a perception of having plenty, which might lead to overconsumption. Similarly, if you have a lot of time to complete a task, you might end up using all that time, often inefficiently.

2. Consumption Behavior:

   - When the large package is divided into mini packages, it can alter the consumption behavior. You might be more mindful of consuming the Oreos because each mini package represents a smaller, more controlled portion. This is akin to breaking a large task into smaller tasks to prevent time from being wasted.

3. Control and Efficiency:

   - Mini Oreo packages can help control portions and prevent overconsumption, which aligns with breaking tasks into smaller chunks to enhance productivity and efficiency. When tasks are broken down, there's less tendency for work to unnecessarily expand, as each sub-task has a more defined scope.

Example

Imagine you have a month to complete a project (large Oreo package). If you don't subdivide this time (mini Oreo packages), you might procrastinate and only start working intensely towards the end of the month, leading to stress and potentially lower quality work. However, if you break down the project into weekly or daily tasks (mini Oreo packages), you're more likely to manage your time effectively, ensuring steady progress and a better outcome.

In essence, the relation between the Oreo package with mini Oreo packages and Parkinson's Law illustrates how subdividing resources (whether cookies or time) can help in managing consumption and efficiency. It helps in avoiding the trap of allowing work (or eating) to expand beyond what is necessary.

Law of Common Region

The law of common region is a principle from Gestalt psychology, which states that elements tend to be perceived as a group if they are located within the same closed region. This principle is used to explain how we visually organize elements into groups based on their enclosing boundaries.

To relate this principle to Oreo packages, consider the following example:

1. Oreo Package (Outer Box): The outer box of Oreo packages often encloses multiple mini Oreo packages. This outer box serves as the common region, grouping all the mini Oreo packages together.

1. Mini Oreo Packages (Inner Units): Each mini Oreo package within the outer box is perceived as part of the same group because they are all contained within the common region defined by the outer box. Despite the mini Oreo packages being separate items, the enclosing boundary (the outer box) makes them appear as a single, cohesive group.

3. Visual Organization: When you see a box of Oreos containing mini Oreo packages, your mind naturally groups the mini packages together because they share the common boundary of the outer box. This helps consumers perceive the mini Oreos as part of a single product offering, enhancing the visual and conceptual organization.

By using the law of common region, manufacturers can effectively group products in a way that makes sense to consumers, improving both the packaging's aesthetic appeal and its functional organization.

Law of Pragnanz

The Law of Prägnanz is a fundamental principle of Gestalt psychology which states that people will perceive and interpret ambiguous or complex images as the simplest form possible. It suggests that our minds naturally prefer to organize visual elements into a cohesive, stable, and straightforward whole.

Relating this to an Oreo:

1. Visual Simplicity: An Oreo cookie, when viewed as a whole, is perceived as a simple, familiar, and iconic shape—a circle with a patterned design on the top and bottom, sandwiching a cream filling. Despite the intricate patterns on the cookie and the potential complexity of its structure, we perceive it as a straightforward, recognizable item.

2. Unified Design: The Oreo's design is consistent and repetitive, which aligns with the Law of Prägnanz. The circular shape, the patterned surface, and the contrasting colors (black cookies and white cream) all contribute to a perception of order and simplicity.

3. Brand Recognition: The Oreo's distinct design is easily and quickly recognized by consumers, demonstrating how the Law of Prägnanz helps in creating strong visual identities for brands. The simplicity and distinctiveness of the Oreo's appearance make it easily identifiable even from a distance or with minimal visual cues.

By applying the Law of Prägnanz, we understand how the Oreo's design is optimized for quick recognition and simplicity, making it an effective and enduring visual symbol in the marketplace.

Fitts's Law: Make the main elements

(brand name) large and easy to spot on the packaging.

Aesthetic-Usability Effect: Create an aesthetically pleasing design, as users perceive more beautiful designs as easier to use.

2. Signifier: The color change of bananas from green to yellow indicates their ripeness, serving as a signifier for when they are ready to eat.

3. Law of Pragnanz: Bananas have a simple and recognizable shape and color, adhering to the principle of simplicity and clarity.

4. Aesthetic Usability Effect: Bananas with appealing and uniform yellow color are more likely to be chosen by customers due to their visual attractiveness.

Red to catch the consumer’s attention and gold to be associated with the taste of the cream candy

Different flavors and types of candy have different colors

Common region:

The nutritional facts are together in a table to insinuate that they are related

Hicks law:

Different types of candies and different types of flavors like soft caramels, butter candy, coffee candy, cream candy, toffee etc

Use the buy-one-get-one-free promotion method to significantly reduce the selection time among many choices and increase the chance of being selected.

There is a cute picture on the package green tea. I think it is more attractive and tasty to me and I prefer to buy it instead of buying those don’t have cute picture.

*Peak-end-rule: It attracts customers the most when you play with the candy: firstly you lick it, then you can get a stamp to stamp on any surface. Then you’ll remember its flavour at the end as you eat it.

*Zeigarnik Effect: There are 33 types of illustrations of characters from Crayon Shinchan, but the amounts of candy are less than 33, so you might feel pity if you don’t collect full set, which motivates customers to buy more if they are fans of the animation.

*Law of Similarity & Law of Proximity: Beside the Product name shows three rectangles with same size, which are close to each other. And as you read texts on them you’ll know they list the 3 flavours of candy.

Serial Position Effect: The words "小王子麵" and the symbolic head are iconic things that everyone can easily remember.

Peak-end Rule : When you eat the last cookie, you will get the most chocolate sauce, improves the reflective experience

I think Kinder Joy utilizes the Zeigarnik Effect well. This effect talks about how people tend to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. Here, the toy assembly aspect of Kinder Joy plays the role of the incompleted task and it is works effectively on their target market, which is children with the age group of 4 to 12. The excitement and satisfaction of discovering and assembling a new toy creates a engaging experience that encourages repeat purchases.

Jacob’s Law

This series of Kinder Joy is divided into two version, the pink one which contains toys for girls and the blue one that contains toys for boys. Kinder Joy uses the two colors that are the common symbolization of the two gender, hence buyer wouldn’t be confused.

It is the product which is about the idol I like. Although it is not useful at all,I buy it because of the idol.

Aesthetic-Usability Effect—not many candy has metal package, which makes people feel fresh and want to buy (though it’s hard to open haha)

Law of Common Region—names of brand and product are all put above the red line, which easier to read and notice
