Here is some awesome packaging for a fun way to decide your halloween costume, called “400 Costumes to Die For”. One 20-sided die has modifiers, the other has 20 nouns, making hilarious suggestions like Zombie Jesus or Biker Santa.
Happy Halloween everyone!!!!
Blasted toothpaste - Even when you get those little plastic sliders, it’s still pretty much impossible to get all the toothpaste out.
Evil, Evil Plastic Wrap - First you struggle getting it off of the roll, then the build-in cutter never actually cuts anything, then once you rip it off, it sticks to itself- an all-over grand experience.
Super Glue - It works perfectly once, then hardens and can never be used again.
Poor kitty litter. It’s just sad.
Sunscreen - usually just slapping a bunch of stuff on a bottle/tube.
BandAids - they just scream 90s.
Diapers - cluttered and stereotypical.
Cracker packs - Although it’s hard to imagine these any other way, they are in dire need of a revamp.
Spices - Spices are so much more exciting than their design. Who can get excited about cooking while looking at these?
Dog Treats & canned food - boring and/or lame.
Cat Treats & canned food - once again, super lame looking and uninteresting.
Another SWEET design/type video from Justice. D.A.N.C.E. Enjoy!!
So here’s DVNO by Justice which is not only an amazing song, but has some sweet typography going on. Watch closely and you will be able to see some of the song’s lyrics displayed as 80s versions of some really famous logos. Enjoy!
Check out this artist, Nathan Sawaya , who makes sculptures entirely out of LEGOs. Awesome.
If you thought that the people who set up a room full of dominoes to have them knocked over later was amazing, you haven’t seen anything yet. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in these images. Everything that you see happened in real time exactly as you see it.
The recording required 606 takes and in the first 605 takes there always was something, usually of minor importance, that didn’t work. It was necessary for the recording team to install the set-up time after time and it took several weeks working day and night to achieve this effect. The recording cost 6 million dollars and it took 3 months to finish, including the engineering design of the sequence. The duration of the video is only 2 minutes, but every time that Honda shows the commercial on British television, they make enough money to support any of us for the rest of our lives. However, this commercial has turned out to be the most displayed in the history of the Internet. Honda execs think that it will pay for itself simply because of the free showings. When Honda senior execs viewed it, they immediately approved it without hesitation — including costs. Everything you see in the sequence (besides the walls, floor, ramp and untouched Honda Accord) is part of two automobiles. The voice is that of Garrison Keillor. The commercial was so well received by Honda execs when they saw it, that their first comment was how amazing the computer graphics were. They almost fell out of their chairs when told that the recording
was real without any graphics manipulation.
Here’s the site for the girl that does the paper typography, Yulia Brodskaya. I love these things!
