Noteworthy Old and New

From the elaborate soap packaging to the simple coaster design, these designs are worth noting.

Coasters at STATS utilize interactivity, and their numbers concept (which you see all over their space, very cool space downtown in ATL) to entertain the guest while at the bar. Each coaster has a trivia question on it, and you have to turn it over for the answer. Nice colors, great utilization of type. Pretty. Clean. ...

Switch over from simple and go to elaborate. Is this my great grandmother's wallpaper on soap packaging? OMG it's her tablecloth on the other one! Why am I so drawn to this old school, over the top packaging? I guess you just have to appreciate the ornate sometimes. This is what I would be doing if I were a graphic designer (aka commercial artist at the time) back in the day. Will this sort of design ever leave us? I think rustic/old/vintage/classic will always have a place in design. It's really interesting to see how it has and how it will evolve ...

... Maybe that evolution is best when it's combined with the new. I'm not sure when these posters were made, but they are certainly look recent and utilize the 'old' aesthetic. http://eternallycool.net/2007/08/page/2/

And below, a brazilian ad agency uses Mad Men style for fun and advertises today's social media. http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/look/everything-ages-fast-faux-vintage-tech-ads-123861

Enough said, it's just cool.

Below is my spread for our collaborative book project.



The man has abundant amounts of creative energy that guide him through life, closer and closer to his dream of sharing it with the world . With a sturdy platform of technical skills, he begins to release that energy into the rest of the creative world in a competitive, yet nervous fashion.

Now comes the best part, mocking it up! Hopefully my craft skills don't hurt me again. My design skills seem to become less important when I produce mockups because of my poor craft. I need more sturdy hands, maybe I have restless hand syndrome.
