The first in a series of posts on yummy packaging! This time we take a look at some lovely coffee packaging. Quite possibly my favorite area of packaging!
coffee
I was at dunkin donuts the other day and noticed that they beat Starbucks in a ‘national taste test’. This prompted me to ponder where I get my coffee and why. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve noticed that designers tend to be snobby about their coffee (or their symmetrically designed energy drink of choice *).

Back in July I wrote my original “Day in logos” post when I was living in Iowa. I thought I would take another crack at it now that I live in Boston – my life is drastically different.
Gmail has themes! Woo! Now its only a matter of time before they let us crazy designers take a wack at it!

Yesterday Smashing Magazine released my Office Mouse icon set! The set includes 12 social media icons and 3 bonus icons! Go check out their post to download the icons and comment here if you would like to request another icon! I’m open to your ideas!

Why you ask? Because its an amazing piece-o-technology and….I can do pointless things with it like this:
SMule: Ocarina [Zeldarian] from SonicMule, Inc. on Vimeo.
Smule is a music type program thing that makes use of the audio input of the iphone to translate blowing into flute/woodwind type noises. My co-worker Mat was playing around with this program the other day and I have to say that I’m jealous! I should also note that I work with a bunch of Apple Fanboys (and girls) so it makes it even more difficult. Dear Mr. Steve Jobs – PLEASE let the iPhone come to Verizion….ill be your BFF for life
