beautiful packaging:
Christiana Couceiro is a freelance illustrator, working and living in Lisbon, Portugal. Her collages are really inspiring... very mid-century. And I just love her art series on her website. Check it out!

I just love REYKA Vodka's new re-design. The bottle looks so fresh and all details are beautifully flushed out.. from the icons at the bottom to the subtle geometric background pattern that embraces the scalloped label edge and perforation. The Islandic-esque blue/grey warmed by wooden cork and orange brings it all together. Their website doesn't do this bottle justice... all pixel-y and flash with a focus on cluttered degraded type. I just like the opening two frames - simple like the bottle. - sara cannon

I am loving this truthful video of Saul Bass discussing beauty, craft, and aesthetic VS money, time, and business. And how everything that is beautiful costs money and time to make it so - it is cheap to make ugly things.
"It's worth it to me. It's the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares." - Saul Bass
