Lovely package: Dima Je

Yep, a brief post about a student work seen in lovely package: this time is Dima Je, from Russia. He designed a package for dog food, based on a mixture between a dog face and a bone (very clever in my opinion) with a simple and effective result. Isn't nice?

Puxxle

Yep, another post from Lovely Package ;)

In my opinion, it is a cute and original form to present a puzzle and it comes from my country, Spain. I'm really glad to see that there are such a good professionals in the package and graphic design field here.

The Puxxle is obviously  a game, a mixture of the words puzzle and pixel. The collection has 6 puzzles formed from adhesives that can be placed on different surfaces and create stories.

Industrial design and a little bit of package: Breeze Rack, Instant Feeling and Zuchna

Once you've seen it, you'll want one just for your bathroom.

 

I’m talking about the Breeze Rack – a futuristic gadget which a lot of functions such as towel rack, hair dryer, bathroom ventilator and sterilizer! it blows air through its many perforations to help keep the bathroom environment fresh. It can also be used as a towel rail. A sterilisation function can be activated to dry and sanitise towels. The hair dryer detaches from one end of the rack, making it the perfect bathroom device.

Breeze Rack is a 2011 red dot design concept winner and its designer is Jo Jae Young.

Seen in Yanko Design.

She loves me, she loves me not

The old tradition of plucking daisy is renewed with this concept called Instant Feeling.

Simply rip off each petal one by one muttering you indecisiveness and let the last petal standing be your answer. 

It’s supposed to stimulate a person’s sensitivity with an unorthodox reaction because each petal bursts into flames after pulling it out. A reminder that once a decision is made, there’s no going back.

Designer: Cung-Young Chu. Seen here.

And finally, a mention of my beloved page of packaging, this time  a Polish studio called Zuchna present us 3 concepts of colorful and pop cans . From my point of view is original and simple at the same time, and I would feel sorry opening a can as pretty as that.

Dearly Beloved

Today I' m going to tell you about one of my favorite packaging pages: lovely package. In the reader of this morning I found these wonderful label designs for bottles.

I found it very original, especially the first one, made by the study of Stranger & Stranger, in UK, mixing organic elements such as flowers and leaves, which are slowly forming a skull.

 

The second belongs to a Moscow studio, Studio In, which shows a label for a corporate gift, referring to the Mayan prediction of world end of this brand new year.

Propuesta de packaging para tubo de pasta dentífrica

Navegando por la página de Yanko Design me he topado con este curioso diseño de tubo de pasta de dientes. Con él, se pretende optimizar el gasto de la pasta, al mismo tiempo que presenta una solución para su almacenaje y posterior logística.

Propuesta de Sang Min Yu y Wong Sang Lee

Su aspecto es similar al de un brick de batido o de zumo de 330 ml, con el que se pretende por un lado eliminar espacios inaccesibles, lo que minimiza los residuos de pasta en los extremos del contenedor; y por el otro, reducir dos envases a uno. Con ello, se reduciría el número de residuos y el precio de fabricación, además de fomentar el reciclaje. 

Ciclo de uso del producto

En mi opinión la idea es buena y original, pero personalmente yo no lo usaría, y la razón es algo tan simple como que no me inspira confianza el sacar un hilillo de material a través de un brick. Me da la sensación de ser algo poco higiénico y me recuerda a los envases de nata o de salsa de tomate, que cuando llevan un tiempo abiertos en la nevera se va formando un cerquillo en los bordes y que genera cierto "repelús". Además, hay que tener en cuenta que se trata de un producto que puede tener una duración de un mes (dependiendo del número de cepillados diarios y de las personas que lo usen), no es algo de usar y tirar, sino que va pillando solera en el vaso de los cepillos de tu cuarto de baño...

Como ya he dicho anteriormente, es una apreciación personal, pero como se me ha ocurrido a mí, otras personas también han podido pensar en algo similar, así que aunque la idea de base está muy bien pensada, creo que convendría darle una vuelta de tuerca más al tema visual y emocional que genera en el consumidor.
