Exfuze Seven+ Bottles
A powerhouse drink requires a powerhouse brand. We delivered for eXfuze and Seven+
Hot off the press, we’re proud to introduce one of the first eco-friendly drinking water package designs -h2O Spring Water from Refreshing Ideas, LLC (www.onedrinkatatime.com). The company is fresh off its h2O kickoff tour, putting the spring water in the hands of every Hollywood and music celebrity they can grab.
We designed the package for maximum visual impact, using a combination of metallic foil substrate and an opaque white ink to accentuate the name.
Look for the new product to grace the supermarket shelves in your neighborhood, as well as appearing on some popular television programs.
What do you think?
I dig the new look. Simplicity is being taken to a whole new level. Will it reach a breaking point? Simple black ink printed on grocery sack? What’s your take?
Please comment.
I know this is going on three years old, but I had to watch it again as I was pondering Apple’s wonderful package design, and the “unboxing” phenomenon. (if you can’t see the YouTube video, just Googlevideo search “Microsoft iPod Package”)
As everyone knows, simplicity rules at Apple – both in the store, and in the package designs themselves. But it’s not just the graphic design. Every Apple product is so wonderfully nestled in it’s soft matte bed, you feel like you’re unwrapping and picking up a newborn child. Okay, that’s a stretch. I’ve had the pleasure of unboxing dozens of Apple products (including 2 iPhones, 2 Macbooks, an iSight camera and countless Macs). Engadget posts several unboxing experiences for our viewing pleasure.
But I’m blathering…
As reported by the iPod Observer, this video was created, ironically, by the design team at Microsoft. It’s timeless because it reinforces what good design is. As many of us designers know, we often have to teach our clients who want every feature of their product listed on the package. In bold italic underlined. With a drop shadow and glow.
