LABELED : Expansion #2

While perusing the Dieline this morning,
I found myself continually reminded of you lovely classmates
so I took it upon myself to label you in the best way possible.
This was quite fun and I hope you consider yourself slightly honored,
maybe a little peeved. I labeled myself too.

Rijuta Trivedi :
In a few words [ bright, fun, artful, engaging ]

Wyatt Carroll :
[ geometric, simple, frustratingly effortless ]

Aaron Bloom :
[ allusive, rough, intricately simple, clever ]

Andrew Nedimyer :
[ intentional, clean, authentic ]

Marta Sivertsen :
[ delicate, detailed, minimal, conscious ]

Ana Nelson :
[ quirky, artful, cute, simple ]

Chris Martin :
[ rainbows, organic, dynamic ]

Matt Engebretson :
[ energetic, typographical, bold, simple ]

Jesse Jaren :
[ playful, timeless, adorable, un-square ]

Amy Holan :
[ round, pretty, simple ]

Mykhaylo Sinenko :
[ sophisticated, angular, detailed ]

Andy Boice :
[ textured, illustrative, dirty, complex ]

Chloe Scheffe :
[ typographical, clean, detailed, die cut ]

Marc Lawrence :
[ clean, dynamic, effective ]

Katy Brooks :
[ allusive to the good times, rustic ]

And now Chelsey Scheffe :
[ poised, sophisticated, typographical as said by Amy Holan ]

If you find others or think I should add someone, I will lengthen this post. Some of you I just can’t peg. You get away this time.

You know I love you all.

H&G Breads: The Finished Product

Done and done.

[rough no.1] : Oakes Dairy

Final for Packaging design: a product line. I have chosen milk in cartons.
Here are my drafts. Hopefully I will have some nice pictures from the first year
photographers when they are all complete.

By the by I got a 4.0 on my tea box (växa if you’ll remember) so I am happy.

As always,
thanks for looking.

Stuff I Like: The Collection

All of these were sitting on my desktop, just asking to be combined into one glorious mashup post of design and photography. Most of this stuff makes me wonder where my creativity is hiding. Sadly, none of it is by me.

I know, right?

Curiousitea

I’m sure you saw Chelsey’s design for a tea called Vaxa the other day, so I thought I’d satisfy your curiosity and post mine. My company is a traditional one, called Bishop. As of yet, it’s still a work in progress. We’ll see where it goes.

Designer Packages

Who knew a coffee could look so good dressed in plaid? Or that an off-brand style plastic bag could come off as chic? Welcome to designer packaging.

Help

“Everyone needs a little help from time to time.”

This is the motto of Help Remedies, a new company that – as they say – helps people. But Help helps people with bandages and headache pills. And that’s all.

Luckily for them, they know how to design lovely packaging and have a great sense of humor.

Here is what they have to say:

“Many companies enjoy packaging their goods inside nasty materials covered in gaudy graphics. That’s because many companies are controlled by crazy people.”

“Most of our packaging is made of molded paper pulp. We enjoy molded paper pulp because it is soft and it makes interesting shapes. Also because it is made from 100% recycled materials and it is compostable – which means one day, it will probably become a part of a large tree.”

I encourage you to visit their website, ineedhelp.com, and play a few of the games tucked away under the Bored? tab. You will love them for it.
