Coors Packaging

Coors Brewing again distinguishes its cold positioning by leaning on packaging, and will support Coors Light with a new tagline: “The world’s most refreshing beer.”

The cold front approaching from the Golden, Colo., brewer will arrive by summer in the guise of the Coors Light Cold-Activated Bottle. The label’s white lettering and Rocky Mountain icon turn blue once the beer reaches optimal drinking temperature.

Beijing Olympics

When I first saw the proposed rendering for the main stadium at the Beijing Olympics I was blown away—but I never thought it would be built. I was wrong.

Now if I could just find work in progress photos for the proposed aquatics center...

Design Intervention II

Designing your business card is one of those things every designer has done in school or on their own. Now take a look at what the IDEO designers came up here.  Pretty cool stuff.  The definition of design is constantly changing.  From being a graphic designer to a product designer, the idea of a designer is becoming more holistic--just like advertising creatives.  A new breed of creatives and designers are on their way.  When I was in school, non-traditional was the biggest thing.  Now I think it has shifted to holistic branding, business problem solving, and interactive/web creatives.   

While on the topic of design, I still can't believe how many Motorola v3 razr phones I see everyday.  There should be a study on the percentage of people who have both an ipod and a razr.  Too bad the combination of the two ended up like the Rokr. .  Anyways, check out these photos from flickr users and I feel just their titles say a lot.  So Happy Together & Boys and their toys ,
