Vintage Polaroid




I'm so delighted to share my new toy with you! A vintage Polaroid camera dressed in a vintage box packaging! I found this cute little treasure at an antique shop near town and I got myself a huge bargain for 80 SGD, that's about 53 USD! The shop owner said that this was manufactured around the mid 1970s. The packaging is well maintained and it even comes with an instruction leaflet! Now the next step is to get hold of a polaroid film to test out the camera...

Remedy (Student Work)






Sierra Korthof designed these lovely packaging for her final semester school project.

"For this project we were directed to create a series of five box forms for either a product that already exists or one we created. I chose to create a line of Arab inspired hot chocolates. The idea behind the product is that the hot chocolate is infused with traditional plant remedies from the Arab world.

I chose to create this product because I am very interested in Arab culture and language. I am currently in my first semester of Arabic, and I thought this would be great opportunity to attempt to design a product that would appeal to two both Western and Arab culture. The identity is a combination of Arabic and English. The packaging, directions, explanations, and ingredients are also listed in both languages."

Four Seasons Chinese Tea


One of our friend from Taiwan recently bought this popular tea from Taipei. It is designed for those seeking a more sophisticated beverage option than the traditional choices of tea beverages.

The Milroys




Old western style CD packaging by Eric Kass of Funnel.

Clutch



Nice sustainable packaging design from Denver based designer Jim Hargreaves.
"The Clutch package design was an exploration in sustainable packaging. The common blister pack was scrapped and the size and amount of materials were reduced to a minimum. The insert also serves a secondary use as a magnetic holder, keeping paper out of the waste stream. An original logo, sleek graphics, and unique size resulted in a package that stands apart from the competition."
