Big Ideas ‘Pop’ for RIT Students Who Develop Popcorn Packaging Ideas for Little Theatre

Film watchers will vote for favorite design at Little Theatre Jan. 15

Rochester Institute of Technology design students make no “concessions” about their creative ideas to package a movie concession must—popcorn!

Graphic design and industrial design students from RIT’s School of Design have devised fresh popcorn packaging concepts and will put their designs up for a vote to film watchers as they enter the theater. The students will share their final package designs this Friday at the Little Theatre, 240 East Ave.

Prior to the evening showings, people are invited to cast ballots for their favorite design among the 10 choices. The winner with the most votes receives a student membership to the Little Theatre.

The project is for the Packaging Design course comprised of graphic design majors and industrial design majors. Students were asked to incorporate the Little Theatre’s 80th anniversary into their designs as well as produce a package that is leak-proof.
