Packaging design inspiration from 30 creative companies
Countless amounts of design inspiration.
Packaging is like fashion; if you show up to a cocktail party dressed in sweats, Crocs and a Def Leppard tee, people will judge you negatively (well, maybe not in certain areas, but you get the idea). The same goes for product packaging; if your company’s perfume bottle comes packaged in a plastic, bedazzled spray bottle, then there’s not much hope for competing with Chanel No. 5. Although, remember, don’t think stellar packaging can hide a crappy product--if you wrap elephant poop in a sleek and eye-pleasing package, it will still be elephant poop.
Prepare your noggin for a flood of inspiration and check out all 30 examples of amazing packaging design.

Wooden House Extension by Wim Goes Architectuur
Wim Goes Architectuur designed the beautiful extension to this residence located in the tiny hamlet of Bachte-Marie-Leerne, in the Flemish district of Belgium.
The wooden addition sits above a new wine cellar and extends partly over the pond. The intentional, unpretentious simplicity with functional clarity, results in stark beauty with Japanese-Finnish undertones. An elegant facade made form slim strips of wood encompasses both visual and structural grace.

Dogmas to Ignore
You should “me-form.” You can but only if you’re Lance Armstrong.
You should not repeat tweets. You shouldn’t if they’re boring, and you have only 100 followers. You can if they’re not, and you have thousands of followers.
You should not automate tweeting with feeds. You shouldn’t if you don’t want to have a life, but you can if you do.
You should not use ghosts. You don’t need ghosts if you’re omniscient, but more smart people looking for good links is always better.
You should make everyone happy. If you’re not pissing someone off on Twitter, you’re not using it right.

I can write on Toast. How about you?
A fantastic concept for a toaster by Sasha Tseng. Write a note to your love one, friends, or other… put the toast into the machine and viola, the result is crispy bread with a message printed on it. I’d love to have one of these for my poetic explorations on food.
