salesman. there on the shelves, each bottle, can ,box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life. scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. many products are packages and many packages are products.”, as louis cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feelings for packaging, noticed. colors are one of the best tools in packaging. studies of eye movement have shown that colours draw human attention quickly. take v8 for example. for many years, the

circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. thats why the round yellow m signs of mcdonalds are inviting to both young and old.
