ah...i loved the honesty.

Back to design! 

Browsing through arbit blog came across this packaged drinking brand called "Tap'D NY". what is great about the brand is the honesty in which they proclaim its Purified NY tap water.Ah that sense of pride of being New Yorker. Absolutely simple, crisp and direct piece of message.Equally direct is the disclaimer/tag line No Glaciers were harmed making this water. 

Read more about them at their site, which seem like a blog roll of the good name they acquired in the media circle.

If you want more ,here are some more packaging design examples (to copy).

Season's Greetings!

Season's Greetings & Happy Holiday's !

( If you are a typography Buff and if the above shapes resemble futura typeface , you are absolutely right and i rock as always. These are supposed to be Holiday Dingbats of Futura typeface, made for the typebattle 33th edition at Typophile. Follow the link to see some more of the type.)

Happy Holidays, anyways!  

Design Sense!

Found at a unusual place, on the bottom of a dust bin, this is a design patent notice tht i have only read and heard so far. Quite a unusual notice for people. Must say some design sense at last and a little recognition of original thoughts.

Hope people will get used to it and most importantly will value the same.

Save resources....a typographers way!

"April 1, 2007 — FSI FontShop International proudly announces FF Mt, Erik Spiekermann's most economical typeface ever. Employing obscure but powerful techniques like vwl mmssn and cap reduction, FF Mt uses up to 50% less paper, screen, and wall space than other text faces without a single condensed letter."

In the era of Pseudo-activism, where souls cry aloud for trivial causes and chose to be numb for the right one, Erik Spikerman's FF mt™ is certainly a solid step to save Earth's resources. anyways the language is already been considerably tweaked with the SMS ans IM lingo around us.... so why not a typeface for it.

I spprt U Erk Spkrmn In ths!
