Abstract
Based on Gerard Hofstede’s theory of cultural dimensions, this packaging design thesis demonstrates how cultural concepts can be portrayed through visual language, intertwining social psychology and graphic design. The creative project aimed to stimulate dialogue for viewers to ascertain the countries’ opposing societal values and behaviors, given the container designs. Furthermore, the following thesis strove to directly convey the most significant aspects of the dimensions through fundamental elements of design, form and color. Containers, as the medium for representing the unalike cultures, provided an innovative perspective on the dimensions. The masculinity versus femininity dimension was omitted from this study.
