A one-year research project on packaging at the Helen Hamlyn Research Centre at the Royal College of Art and sponsored by the Packaging Solution Advice Group (PSAG). The report looked closely at small print on packaging, and highlighted its importance as a key design challenge facing an ageing population. The approach consisted of isolating existing small print from its context to highlight its deficiencies and testing alternative approaches with a user group of older consumers drawn from the University of the Third Age.
