WHAT IS ..... GOOD PRINT?

Packaging and branding 

as i am addicted to diet coke, i am very familiar to the font and colour of the famous swirly femanine   font and colour of the can's packaging, i think this is a super design concept for the can, taking its obvious design style and minimizing the detail makes the can much more simplistic yet it is still very obvious of the brand , especially for the diet coke addicts like me.

PACKAGING

i found this last year on image spark,  it was recently published by the michigan historical museum, it is the first design for a box of Rice Krispies. The the ultra-minial, no frills and illustrations looks so appealing  , i love the concept of re-introducing a vintagey design practice into new package design influenced by the typical graphic design of the 1930 and 40's.


some vintage Kelloggs packaging from the 1940's onwards similar to the rice crispies packets above...

Nice project here designed by Nathalia Ponomareva from Russia. These tea bags created by the principles of origami. While the tea infuses the bird or the shape is gradually expanding. This is very poetic. I do not know if it is commercially produced, but the idea 
is wonderful.

SEX WAX


Mr. Zog's Sex Wax is a Carpinteria, California, brand of surfwax manufactured for use on surfboards. This wax is rubbed on the top surface or "deck" of a surfboard to allow traction and grip for the surfer.



 My friends are keen surfers and whilst spending time with them over the summer holidays, i was intregued by this sex wax that the were using daily to grip their surfboards up, it smells gorgeous! and the simple , colourful packaging is so fun and appealing on the eye! i like its stamp like look and the range of fonts used in the logo.

The boys suggested buying their candles seen i was always smelling their boards , so i went online and found out that Mr. zogs sex wax store sells alot more than just board wax.
