About The Dieline

Established in 2007 by Andrew Gibbs, The Dieline is dedicated to the progress of the package design industry and its practitioners, students and enthusiasts. Its purpose is to define and promote the world's best packaging design, and provide a place where the package design community can review, critique and stay informed of the latest industry trends and design projects being created in the field. From that point on, The Dieline has become the most visited website on package design in the world, with readership spanning millions across hundreds of countries.

2010 saw the debut of The Dieline's first package design book titled, Box, Bottle, Bag, which quickly became the #1 selling and highest rated package design book on Amazon. Also launching that year were The Dieline Package Design Awards – a worldwide competition devoted exclusively to the art of brand packaging. Since then, The Dieline and F+W Media have formed a partnership to deliver two world-class conferences on package design – The Dieline Package Design Conference , and The Dieline Forum .

The Dieline, and everything we do, is for the benefit of our readers. Without their continued support and commitment, these ventures would be impossible.

CONTRIBUTING EDITORS

Yael Miller's passion for packaging design is apparent from her dedication as a contributor to TheDieline.com since early 2007. Yael has been designing award-winning packaging for over nine years. Since founding Miller Creative in 2007, she is turning out exciting brand identities and packaging design for companies around the world - most often for food, gourmet and health/beauty brands. She lives in NJ with her husband and two children.

Tiffanie's love for art started at an early age when her mom often gave her a box of crayons and a stack of paper to keep her busy and off the walls. She is the kind of girl who gets as excited seeing full set of 120 color pencils as seeing a Barbie doll under the Christmas tree.

Tiffanie recently received her Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from California State University, Northridge. She started off as an illustration major, took one graphic design class and was hooked. She later found new passion in typography and package design. During her last year at CSUN, she worked at VISCOM center, where graduating seniors are chosen to work/ study in a real life graphic design studio right on campus. Facebook (of all places) has lead Tiffanie to the doorsteps of The Dieline's office. She is currently a freelance graphic designer, living in San Fernando Valley, California. You can see her work here.

Rachel Dunagan is a Southern girl trying to acclimate to the brutal winters of the midwest. A former journalist, she went back to school to get a degree in design after she discovered she was more interested in the layout of the paper than the stories. Plus, she had to figure out some way to feed her voracious appetite for package design--especially personal care products. She is currently a freelance designer in Minneapolis and is, therefore, available to make your stuff look awesome. See more of her work here.

Having graduated in 2007, Megan has already had the opportunity to experience many different aspects of the packaging design world. She quickly climbed the ranks, working with small firms, in-house design departments, and Turner Duckworth of San Francisco before finally branching out on her own as an independent contractor. In addition to her awards and publications in industry magazines, Megan created a side business out of one of her popular student projects, You Smell Soap. She now resides in San Francisco with her two cats, doing (and now writing about) her dream job.
