Student Work – Ben Suarez
Designed by Ben Suarez | Country: United States
“I wanted to take a different approach to skateboard product packaging and make them a bit more mature and clean. I strayed away from the usual bright and flashy style that we are used to seeing and created it with more of an industrial and ever so slightly grunged up appearance.”
Melo
Designed by Imagemme | Country: United States
“Here at Imagemme, our vision was to create an innovative package that immediately resonated with the refreshing taste of watermelon. With Melo, we wanted to mesh together the purity of the product alongside clean, eye-catching design. Being that sustainability and healthy packaging are priority, Melo’s bottle is BPA-free. The soft lines and curvature of the bottle is an homage to the watermelon, a refreshing, but exciting muse.”

Padrillos
Designed by Diego Ballester | Country: Argentina
“Imagine a herd of wild stallions galloping over smooth, white hills, their black coats reflecting the light of the moon. This very image lived inside winemaker Ernesto Catena’s mind, and kept his primal attachment to land and nature alive during his time as a university student. After years of travel, when Ernesto planted his vineyard in Mendoza, “Padrillos” was born. These intense wines express the primordial forces latent in our fertile land, and the wild spirit of Argentina’s true varietals.”
Student Work – Dan Hinde
Designed by Dan Hinde | Country: United Kingdom
“D&AD challenged students to create a new brand of Scotch whisky, this included naming the brand, an identity design, packaging and a container. My response is Flora & Fauna, a Superior Scotch inspired by the Miracle of Mother Nature.”

Dark Matter
Designed by Astronaut Studio | Country: United States
“Sure you COULD Photoshop coffee grounds into Pegasus form. But wouldn’t you rather dump some grounds on the table and do it yourself? It took longer, yes, but pushing grounds on paper with an X-acto blade tends to be a much richer experience than pushing pixels with a cursor.
Dark Matter is a custom blend of small-batch roasted coffee with original package design developed as a 2011 holiday gift for Astronaut Studio’s clients, partners and vendors. The image of the Pegasus is actual coffee grounds hand-tooled into the form of a Pegasus. The concept and design is a deliberate play on the agency’s brand identity.”
ByALEX A Range
Designed by Company | Country: United Kingdom
‘The A Range is a simple furniture based on two interlocking letter As shapes. The range includes a stool, side table, coat stand.
Made from accredited birch plywood and available in white and grey, the A Stool and A Table come in a simple box with a carry-away handle. This is the first flat-pack, carry away furniture sold at John Lewis stores.”

Student Work – Samantha Szakolczay
Designed by Samantha Szakolczay | Country: United States
“For this conceptual project, students were to chose a pre-existing and well-known brand and develop a line of skin care products. The key factor in deciding upon a brand was that it was not currently affiliated with a skin care line of products. The challenge was then to maintain equity within the brand and translate that into skin care.
Altoids has always been a product meant for a mass audience of both men and women. As a largely popular breath mint in the United States, the mint product is slightly more expensive than the average breath mint price. In maintaining such characteristics, Curious is a skin care product that is clinically proven to cleanse and refresh the skin. The product is meant for both men and women and offers skin care products that clean, treat, and sooth the skin.”

Gordy’s Pickle Jar
Designed by Common Complex | Country: United States
“Our intention was to create a design that celebrated the rebirth of an old craft. We wanted a design that would feel right at home in a grandma’s kitchen—the kind of grandma that might show you her old biker tattoos while she readies the tea and Sunday paper. Time regained.
Gordy’s handcrafted pickles and preserves are a labor of love. Each thoughtfully designed recipe uses fresh, local produce & responsibly cultivated spices.”

Kiyu Taro
Designed by Victor Branading Design Corp. | Country: Taiwan
“Kiyu Meteorological Station taro production from Jiaxian, Kaohsiung, is an unforgettable delicious snack in the Taiwanese memory. This packaging line boldly attempts to use the product itself different tastes, and does not make sense forming interesting combination with weather images. The changing weather referred to as touched the senses of taste, the spicy taste of mustard make us cry like a rain; spicy flavors makes you stamping like thundering; fragrant curry, such as the beautiful moonlit night, sweet caramel taste is charming sunny; taste mixed with different levels of integration, the taste buds also will comply with the incredible weather to start cross-sensory journey.”

One Less Drop
Designed by Heckler Design | Country: United States
“The product’s mass and shine are its primary selling points. Wrapping it tightly in a clear box was the best way for people to appreciate those qualities.”

Much like the sticky song lyrics they illustrate, the images from OH SING YOUR LIFE are now, at least temporarily, tattooed on my subconscious. Party rock!...

Snoop Dogg's Rolling Words
Introducing Rolling Words, Snoop Dogg's smokable songbook. A promotion for Snoop Dogg’s Kingsize Slim Rolling Papers created by San Francisco agency Pereira & O’Dell.
Each page is a rolling paper with Snoop’s greatest songs and lyrics written on them - in non-toxic ink – for your rolling pleasure. The pages are perforated making them easy to detach.
The book is made of hemp-related materials, with the cover, binding, and internal lining all made from hemp seed paper while the spine of the book is a match striking surface.
While the book is currently for elite distribution, a limited edition book is being discussed for release online. However, 420-friendly festival goers at this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival will get a chance to sample the rolling papers from posters placed at the festival with the rolling papers as tabs to detach and take.

Cupnoodle Forms by Nendo
These souvenirs by Japanese studio Nendo for the Nissin Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama look like warped reflections in funhouse mirrors. (more…)
Jon Wong
Jon Wong is a Bay-Area based designer working at San Francisco’s esteemed Office. His take and design of a Seijun Suzuki film festival is pretty rad. So inspired and well thought-out. There’s so much punch to a system that carries out successfully over multiple pieces and formats (like the wood engraving and deck of cards).
The rest of Jon’s work has a similar playfulness and sophistication. Mr. Wong was a studio assistant at ISO50 where he posted his process for this project (and some others). Interesting to see where it started and where it went.

Cuppow Packaging
Someone set up us the bomb, because all your drink are belong to Cuppow. A new lid that turns a re-purposed canning jar into functional coffee cup or travel margarita mug, Cuppow's bold, yet restrained packaging design aptly expresses the quirky inventiveness of it's creators. Move zig!
Superbly durable, BPA free, made in the USA - AND recyclable - Cuppow was designed with simplicity and respect for materials in mind. The packaging goal for Cuppow was to reflect the same honest mission and killer enthusiasm that this game-changing little product was born with. Light-weight, folded chipboard makes the perfect packaging platform, sandwiching the product and anchoring it in place with a simple diecut tab; graphic line-art in black and hazard-orange merge technical specs with comic book punch; and the printing, done on an old-school letterpress machine, brings a tangible, industrial pop to the presentation.
Cuppow was designed by Aaron Panone and Joshua Resnikoff. Graphic design was done by designer and illustrator, Natalya Zahn, and package design and printing was done by Mike Dacey of Repeat Press. Nearly all components of the product's release (industrial design, branding, graphics & package design, printing, photography, website design, and video) were created by a collaboration of talented creatives working primarily under one roof at Fringe Union in Somerville, Massachusetts.
