Sorted by consumer groups with the most purchasing power, Market Smart reveals how to target kids, parents, tweens and teens, sports enthusiasts, Generations X & Y, foodies, and baby boomers by exploring all elements of marketing design from print and multimedia advertisements to catch phrases, mascots, logos, product packaging, retail environments, and promotions.
Most graphic design books focus on what designers are creating - logos, brochures, product packaging, etc. Market Smart has a fresh perspective by focusing instead on who they are creating for. Effective age, gender, and lifestyle specific designs from around the world are featured.
