Blog: The Dieline! (Misc!!)
| I love this site. Funny how many blogs there are on the net, yet I feel like I don't have good ones to check out that don't just show the same things every other bog shows...you know? Anyway...I ran across this blog after linking to it from ffffound.com. I love good packaging - The Dieline is almost an overwhelming amount of examples, or at least studies of it. What Engadget is for time wasting looking at electronics, The Dieline is for wasting time looking at packaging...mostly food/beverage. And, bonus, it has a pretty good commenting user base...I usually hate blog comments, you know, the typical super cynical, say stuff you'd never say in real life, super hater comments - none of that here. In fact, it looks like a bunch of industry types with actual experience in what their commenting about. Either way, its a great blog - and well named, check it out. ***Their logo was super hard to cut into our 100x100 image size, sorry, ha. And speaking of packaging, the mountains are no longer blue on this Coors Light I'm drinking...bummer. |

Lunar Baby Thermometer
Parti de l'observation du geste universel des parents qui touchent le front de leur enfant pour apprécier leur température en cas de petites migraines, le designer coréen Duck Young Kong a imaginé le concept "Lunar Baby Thermometer". From the observation of the universal gesture of parents affecting the front of their children to enjoy their temperature when small migraines, the Korean designer Duck Young Kong has devised the concept of "Lunar Baby Thermometer". Bien vu ! Bien vu!
healthiest people on the planet!
Elderly Okinawans have among the lowest mortality rates in the world from a multitude of chronic diseases of aging and as a result enjoy not only what may be the world's longest life expectancy but the world's longest health expectancy. Centenarians, in particular, have a history of aging slowly and delaying or sometimes escaping the chronic diseases of aging including dementia, cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease and stroke) and cancer. The goal of the Okinawa Centenarian Study is to uncover the genetic and lifestyle factors responsible for this remarkable successful aging phenomenon for the betterment of the health and lives of all people.
The Okinawa Centenarian Study (OCS) is an ongoing population-based study of centenarians and other selected elderly, in the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa that began in 1975. Ages are validated through the koseki, the Japanese family registration system. At the baseline exam a full geriatric assessment is performed, including physical exam and activities of daily living.

new package - grey goose and febreezeeey
"A Pentagram team led by John Rushworth and Daniel Weil has designed three packaging projects for the premium Vodka brand, Grey Goose. The introduction of the packaging is one of a number of ongoing initiatives undertaken by Grey Goose’s parent company, Bacardi, to refocus the brand for its international luxury markets and build on an already impressive rise to success in the United States.
Launched in 1997, Grey Goose was created for the American market with the vision of creating the world’s best tasting Vodka. Uniquely, it was the first Vodka to be distilled in France and takes full advantage of the epicurean heritage of its base in the Cognac region, famed for its fine spirit distilling. In a process overseen by an expert Maître de Chai (cellar master), who ensures the quality and taste of the finished product, selected French wheat is distilled and blended with pure spring water that has filtered naturally through the limestone rocks of the region to produce a vodka that has won an international reputation for its purity and taste. Grey Goose was acquired by Bacardi Limited in 2004. Keen to capitalise on Grey Goose’s renown in the US, Bacardi have since invested in turning Grey Goose in to an international super-premium brand leader.
While the differences between tastes in international markets may be subtle, the luxury goods market demands distinction and refinement, and subtle differences become the defining qualities of brands. Pentagram’s objective became to make astute interventions in the design of the packaging that maintain the integrity of the international Grey Goose brand, whilst rebalancing the appeal of Grey Goose for more international luxury tastes. Three packaging opportunities were identified: A gift box for a single bottle of Grey Goose Original, a limited edition Flavours gift pack that contains a bottle of Grey Goose Original along with taster-sized bottles of the three flavoured varieties of Grey Goose, and lastly a Grey Goose Baccarat gift box containing two limited edition Baccarat lead crystal tumblers, an aspirational package that would provide the definitive expression of the Grey Goose brand."
