RANDOM THOUGHTS Don’t you think wrapping paper is such a waste of material? But yet there is still something so special about not knowing what’s hidden behind the wrapping paper. There is that sense of surprise that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Represent is challenging the design community to develop fresh and eco-friendly solutions to the problem, by designing sustainable and totally tape-free ways to wrap a Christmas gift. Here are the top 20 best solutions.
Typotheque
TYPOGRAPHY Typotheque has released a program that lets designers select various type characteristics from 21 different faces, allowing one to build numerous type combinations. Now I know what I’m putting on my wish list to Santa!
McDonalds

RANDOM THOUGHTS McDonalds has a whole new look! I wonder how a new package will increase sales. Because since a customer only receives the sandwich after they’ve purchased it, the packaging design really plays no role in the decision making process. But I guess it does play a role in McDs overall goal of a new, healthy, transparent, brand. Next time you go to McDs, also take a close look at their newly designed menu. They styled their food like high end culinary cuisine. Interesting.
Design house
GRAPHIC DESIGN HQ is a personal project of Matthew Goodrich. HQ Design House is a concept where designers eat, sleep, drink, design, party, and live together under one roof. The project seems like a great way to build strong design communities and to make awesome friends. Now all we have to do is sell this idea to NBC and turn it into a reality show.
