Whales by Jonathan Adler

Really nice packaging by Jonathan Adler found via Lovely Package.

Packaging Inspiration

Some more great packaging from www.thedieline.com, a design blog that contains all sorts of designs from actual product through to packaging. Here are just a few bits that I found. Take a look!

Coffe Cup Designs

Found these brilliant packaging and signage designs via design*sponge by Waldopancake. They are damn well hilarious and made me giggle. This guy also illustrates a lot of M&S's kids confectionary packaging, you can see his flikr site here where there's loads more funny packaging and some of his other work too. Very good, yah.

Graphic Competitions Dot Com

For those looking to add an international flavour to their portfolios, a website called Graphic Competitions is a directory of various worldwide design competitions. It was created and is currently managed by Francesco Natali from Italy. There are competitions for every creative discipline & are sorted into categories & also by deadline.

The most current design contest is for the Film Sokolov 07 film festival based in the Czech Republic. The brief is to submit a piece of work containing or describing a scam but there is no constraint on the technique. Full details can be reached through the link on the Graphic Competitions website.

All competitions offer some sort of prize, money or free stuff, & most are open to everyone, irrespective of country, so if you want to chance your arm, have a look. Worth submitting our own Tigerprint competitions for increased global awareness.
