  • fun packaging scavenger hunt

    I’ve been on the lookout for fun packaging. When I’m out running errands or to my favorite coffee shop, I’m looking. Below is what I’ve found so far!

    Boxed mac and cheese from Aldi

    I thought the boxed mac packaging was soo cool! The bright, bold colors stood out and I noticed it right away. The names (cheddy mac and shella good) were also really fun and clever. The box that holds all of the mac is even a bright blue. Overall, it was a fun design that seemed trendy and modern.

    The Breaks’ bulk bean bags! Perfect for a cuppa joe

    The simplicity of this bag is top notch. I like the use of red for details and the logo. Also, the skeleton riding a bike is always gonna be a win in my book. The design is seamless with a dash of whimsy.

    That’s all I’ve found for now! Once I get out and find more cool packaging designs I will report back to the masses. Enjoy the weather!

  • revising past projects

    I’ll be the first to admit, I wish I could do all of my projects to 210% of my ability. But with multiple school projects, working twenty hours a week, and trying to adult, it gets to be a lot sometimes. Because of my busy school and work life, sometimes my projects aren’t to the caliber that I try to uphold. So with some extra time this week, I wanted to revise some past projects.

    Victim number one, I mean project number one, was my packaging design from last semester. I love the idea of it, but it just felt a little flat to me. The back seemed too plain.

    The original packaging design

    I made some minor adjustments, by increasing the size of the tagline above the rainbow, and keeping the rectangle motif. I think that helped it feel a bit more streamlined and professional feeling.

    I wanted to play around with the logo design as well. It just felt a bit rushed. In the future, I’ll take my revised versions to my teacher to get some feedback. The new logo design is growing on me. What do you think?

    Hopefully I’ll post some more revised projects. Until then!

  • my love note to trader joe’s packaging

    Trader Joe’s is a grocery store, and while there aren’t any in SD it’s still one of my favorite grocery stores. It has good prices (perfect for a broke college student like me) and unique products with fun packaging.

    I only visit TJ’s occasionally when I visit family and I’m always down to try new things. The neat packaging always draws my eye.

    The last time I went, I saw the bright graphics for the Strawberries and Creme Pancake mix and I just had to get it. The vibrant colors and cute strawberries really made an impact. They just had a fun vibe that other boring pancake mix boxes just couldn’t live up to.

    Disclaimer: all images in this post are not mine

    Even after I made the (mediocre) pancakes, I was drawn to keep parts of the box. I’m crafty and like to make collages in my spare time, so I definitely cut and saved the little strawberries.

    I even found a brief article from the Trader Joe’s website about the value of well design products. Click here! Or check out another designer’s perspective on Trader Joe’s.

    I included some more examples of Trader Joe’s packaging! I couldn’t help myself, their designs make my heart happy.

    Even their paper bags look cool!

    That’s all folks! Read on for more design quips.
