Werner Design Werks

A flip through the Werner Design portfolio may give a bit of inspiration for the upcoming Whole Foods project. I especially like the copy on the preserves.

Another Bloomin' Business Card

Jamie Wick designed a personal business card that is meant to exist in sunlight rather than in one's pocket. When placed in water for 4 days, the card grows alfalfa or cress.

Googled Birthday: Rebecca Williams

Mmm, what's that smell? No, it's not the hatch in the basement. There is another birthday cooking on the dutch oven: Rebecca's! Though another year older usually means another year beneath which to bury your horrible truths. Alas, Rebecca, we know that behind your sweet veneer, there is someone much more diabolical. Whilst Linq'n it up and droping a few shots of absinthe, Rebecca has been expanding her film career. If not starring in porn classics like "The Notorious B.I.G. One", Rebecca continues her dirty themes into mainstream... "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" anyone? Rebecca's artistic skills are not limited to film, however. She is also a licensed hair dresser and still-life cheese photographer. Cheese? Perhaps that is what we smell. Pairs well with a happy birthday and a slice of afternoon toasting!

ID design review

The following Turner Duckworth projects have been accepted into ID's annual design review.

Design Distinctions: TAB Energy Drink
Honorable Mention: Waitrose Vegetables and Pastas

Also, the Moto Slider box won an award, but it looks like it was submitted by Motorola, as a structural thing - I'm looking into if it will be featured with graphics (and our info for modifying - hopefully!)

Congratulations, Everyone!

Far Out Foods, Man

Friday on Coolhunting.com, there was an article focused on the rise of hemp-based products in the mainstream. Apparently, hemp is rich in Omegas, all 10 essential Amino Acids, and a good substitute for protein. The hippies were onto something! It would be interesting to brand a hemp-based line.

A lot of emotions were stirred by this bit of interior design but all I can say is those walls look delicious.

Clearly Stylish

Stylish energy drink gets free press: (and here's a little more:). The newly designed VOSS (a designer favorite) energy drink is generating a lot of free press by way of immaculate design. The austere presence has attracted several high profile publications to feature the latest rendition of sugar water with vitamins and the metabolism boosting properties of caffeine and green tea. Think vitamin water or red bull in a super model's body.

Reyka Vodka

Reyka Vodka is distilled in Iceland. There are eight shrink-wrapped caps that are applied in corellation to events around the distillery. For example, if a red fox comes onto the grounds of the distillery that day, then the neck label featuring the red fox is applied. If your vodka was distilled during Puffin mating season, then Puffins will appear on the neck label of your bottle. A story is connected to each label that applies a bit of myth to whomever drinks that batch.

"Pack for adventure if you drink from a bottle with a viking boat on it. If anyone named "Leifur" is in the news when we make a batch, we put a ship on each cap. Leifur Erikson was born in the same town of our distillery and sailed to America in a rickety boat. People who drink these batches often run-off with people in not so rickety planes."

The singer/songwriter/actress promoting the Vodka is Hafdis Huld from "GusGus".

Changing Cupboard

FRONT design is sitting upon a thought bubble whist questioning the existence of thought.

The studio retrofitted a cupboard with rotating slots similar to those found on automated billboards. The result is cupboard that no longer has any practical use, but is still really cool to watch! Check the link below to see the movie of the cupboard changing faces.

Oh, and FRONT design wants us to recognize something about recognizing the end of an object and understanding that recognizing understanding is the first step towards recognition.

Cool.
