"Hokkaido Non-Sterilized Milk – "The message of these packages is “The mammals grow up with mother's milk, you also !”. Our immunity is received from mother's milk, and nutrient is received from mother's milk, too....and we grow up. I wish that we can happily learn this fact with a feeling, gratitude to each mothers."

Honestly I like these, almost just because they are like building blocks, it's little cartons of milk and you generally associate that with kids so I guess building blocks are appropriate. The fact they can be stacked together to create animals is even better. Sounds strange but I like the symmetry to it, the fact its all equal sides, just makes it look pleasant.

Great source for images.

Rather then just googling it, pinterest already seems to have filtered out most of the bad stuff, leaving behind all the nice, well thought out and awesome designs I can look at.

Time to look at some Traditional Japan Packaging.

Just generally has a lot more work go into making it look nicer!

Mock FMP - Mildly Annoyed Recap.

AMW - Project Recap

Mock FMP Sketches.

Just a couple of photos from my sketch book for my mock FMP project where I have been deciding what to products could give a slight dumb down. Things like just putting an invisibility cloak on just a plain coat rack and seeing who buys it, this was to show how dull and boring sales methods can make the most amazing products just plain and boring.

This was a page looking at the ring, trying to think if I could change it, it was actually quite difficult and I didn't actually end up going with it.

Yeah this was where I decided against it. The ring is just plain boring packaging and there is really no way to sell THE RING in a way that is any different to how anyone else sells a ring.

Trying to work which items I could use, what films I could take things from. This sheet again was just a fast idea generation which is pretty much all my sketchbooks ever are. 

Golden Compass?

Light sabres?

THE FORCE. This was what I settled on. How could you not like the idea of bottling up the force and making it into something mundane and boring that could be sold next to a whole host of things without looking remotely interesting.

AMW - Some of my idea generation.

This was just some of the idea generation I was doing during AMW, it was drawing with a flannel + ink in order to just get ideas out quickly and easily. It's good fun!
