Package Design: King of Pop
via thedieline.com
This concept is sent by one of Dieline reader. The blog mentioned that the artist didn't make the concept to exploit, but to honor an icon. Well, I don't know, but I like it.

Recession Wine
Love the simplicity and concept behind the packaging of this "recession brand" wine by French designers Bold.
Tokyo burgers, yes please

What is it about Japanese design that makes me want to devour these soooo much, and how much do I want to visit a branch of 'Freshness Burger'.....very much.
Don't forget to look at the gallery for more pics, especially pic 2 'the MOS burger brings all the deliciousness of mountains, oceans and skies to the burger paradigm' which sits in a wrapper with a simple mountain outline on the wrapper - I want me some of that...
A collection of inspirational wine label designs
Whenever I am looking for design inspiration, I not only browse CSS Galleries or Graphic Design blogs, but I also turn to websites that are committed to packaging design. One of the best blogs in that field is The Dieline and from there, I created this collection of great minimal wine label designs. Enjoy!

"Avatar" movie and Coke Zero: Augmented reality, coming soon to a Coke can near you
Now that the super-animated almost-real movie Avatar is about to roll out (in theaters 12/18/09), here come the advertisers with spectacular new types of techno-toys to accompany the flick. For instance, if you hold a tricky Coke Zero can up to your webcam, it sprouts a controllable helicopter. Click the frame above to see a video of that. Hey, this looks like fun. This augmented reality (AR) juju will, be plastered on 140 million bottle-shaped cans, some 30 million fridge packs, as well as bags, bottles, popcorn bags and fountain drink cups.
You'll also be able to pick up a card at McDonald's that you hold in front of your webcam, and when you go to an Avatar-branded website, out pops an animation that looks like a real mechanical toy. There will be playable games associated with these controllable 3D animations, offered as bonuses with Big Macs and Happy Meals at the Micky-D fast feeder.
So that's what they mean by augmented reality. We've seen some crude AR before, first with a lame Best Buy ad, where if you held the company's brochure up to your webcam you could move around a 3D laptop. But this goes way beyond that. Whether it sells more big Macs or Coca-Cola, or makes more people go to James Cameron's film remains to be seen. But just think of the possibilities for this augmented reality. Wow. Here's a video of the Avatar card:
