Illustration can express a completely different feeling from photography and create dazzling forms. The combination of illustration and packaging design gives designers great creative freedom, and designers can boldly try various styles of design: exaggerated painting style can highlight the characteristics of packaging, increase the interest of packaging, and is suitable for the packaging of creative products, as shown in the following figure 2. 1; Black-and-white sketch lines reflect the simplicity and naturalness of packaging, giving people a quiet and cordial feeling, which is applied to the packaging of humanistic goods, as shown in Figure 2.2; Illustrations of small fresh wind and healing wind give people a pleasing and warm feeling, which are deeply loved by women and are mostly used for packaging cosmetics, paper towels and other commodities, as shown in Figure 2.3 below.
