Captivating Food Packaging.

Ever go into the grocery store, and check out the meats or vegetable section? Ever see those disgusting yellow cardboard/foam like boxes with plastic wrap over the top, squishing the meats? See those boring plastic bags to stick your vegetables in?

Well here is a little bit of a change from the norm. UK based agency, Design Friendship, has created some really great packaging. They have taken the way that food is displayed, and made it presentable.

Some more great packaging.

Here is some more great packaging ideas that come from www.thedieline.com. Very innovative, and I love the colors as well.

The Animal Cracker packaging is really cute, and totally pops out at you. Literally.

Also, the simplicity of the chocolate bars are majestic. Especially with the simple sans serif typeface, and the bold colors, it all works really well together.

Beeline Packaging. Hungry Anyone?

Ever seen honey packaging like this? Fantastic. Makes me want to go and eat a Peanut Butter, Honey, and Banana Sandwich. MMMMMMMM.

The packaging was designed by Kym Abrams. You can find her site here. This honey line was created for the purpose of furthering training and jobs for ex offenders. Pretty cool.

Late Night Ad Find!

So, I was just taking a peep at some of the design/Ad blogs that I follow, and I came across this really cool Ad for Aids. Its incredible. The concept they use for creating the type is really...Genius. Take a look for yourself here.

If you get a chance, check these guys out. They really take design to a new level. All there materials are very professionally executed, and laid out.

Also, if you get a chance, check out the PRADO project that they worked on. It is beautiful, especially the interactive website that they created for them.

Here is a snippet of one of their Branding/Packaging projects. I have never wanted to purchase a box a cupcakes more in my life.

Leaving Palm Springs.

Today, Caleb and I leave Palm Springs. I know, I know, it is a sad day indeed. This weekend has been so incredible, and I am so thankful to God for it. My head has just been filled with so much knowledge, from so many fantastic minds. I hope that I am able to attend next year. I cannot belief how beneficial this conference was, because not only did we get to hear some of the coolest guys speak, but we also got some free books out of the deal! There is one in particular that I really want to read, written by McCarthur. I am not sure the name right now, because I do not have it in front of me, but it is very topical, and has a lot of really cool insight about a lot of ideas, through a biblical view.

So, my time has come to an end here in Palm Springs, but technically it is not over yet, because I will be here next year for Resolved. Booyeah. I should start packing now. Good bye, oh beautiful Palm Springs.

See see you all later!

Palm Springs!

I finally got my custom domain to work! Its awesome! Its just StuckwithChuck.com

Anyways, I am in Palm Springs right now for the Resolved Conference. It is obviously a astonishing 4 'clock in the morning, and I am beat. The fellowship on this trip has been fantastic. I love the feeling that you get from hanging out until early in the morning with friends, eating tons of junk food, and praising God all at the same time ha ha. It is truly bliss.

I will tell you something though. Tonight we heard John Piper speak and it was I N C R E D I B L E! He talked about how God works, and the purpose for the fall of Satan, and the fall of Adam. If you want to hear more about it, then you can absolutely ask me!

So overall I am having a great weekend. I really did not realize how much I like Palm Springs. Everything is really nice here, including the condo that we are staying in. I don't know what it is about staying in other places, but I enjoy it thoroughly. Also, on the drive up here, I saw those wind generator thingy's, and I found out now that I LOVE those! They are just so cool, and so artistic. Just to know that they are strategically placed in specific places, and also usually going from smallest to biggest in size. I don't know, Just a cool thing for me.

Well I should get to bed. Hope everyones night is going well, and they are getting good sleep.

Night,

Chuck
