OVERALL IMPRESSIONS / EPIPHANIES/ AHA MOMENTS? 

My overall impressions after visiting the LPC was a lot more than I expected. Learning how much goes into actually designing for packaging was very interesting and I never thought too much about. One thing that really gave me an 'aha moment' was when they said that their designs are what people see on the shelf and make people want to buy it and it is really true.
