Nativetech Packaging by Anagrama
sharp branding and package design by the mexico studio. m.
‘our brand proposal aims at breaking away from the generic solutions that are typical of this product segment by taking a direction that is inspired by bright, neon colors that are related to the world of optimal sport performance, including the attire, footwear, and accessories associated with these athletes. a vast majority of sports nutrition products require extensive directions and specifications on their packaging.’
‘we turned this visual weakness into a balance between the packaging and its labels, as well as by adding a numerical system that simplifies the steps and instructions for the use of the products. this system designed for nativetech serves as an additional benefit for the future expansion of the brand’s product line while maintaining the brand’s essence. nativetech’s bright color palette and typographic solution help its products stand out among the numerous existing supplement options.’ — anagrama

Fer y Nora by La Caja de Tipos
wonderfully creative yet minimalist interactive business card design! m.
What Fer and Nora wanted for their wedding was to be a big party where all guests, from first to last, have fun and a good time with them. They wanted everyone to participate from the outset to make that day unforgettable. So with this in our mind we started working. We had several ideas but the one that fits better with what the couple wanted was an invitation that the guests themselves had to finish. With all this in our minds we created an invitation in two parts, the lower with the event data and instructions in order that everyone know what to do and the top with a series of micro-perforated circles by laser that could be separated as each guest wanted and, this way, draw various elements regarding the wedding such as a heart, rings, a shrimp… typical things. The instructions gave ideas, but then everyone was free to do what they wanted to make their invitation personal. And it didn’t stop there, these leftover circles became confetti to be thrown to Fer and Nora when they leave the church, helping to create a party atmosphere in their first minutes as newlyweds.

very cool — i can see this making it’s way into some of my large scale print works in the near future. m.
Evil Mad Scientist’s new AxiDraw V3 personal drawing machine can use any pen or marker to print or write on your behalf if your penmanship is awful. But simply watching the machine draw ultra-precise doodles and complex patterns is so satisfying you might be able to justify its $475 price tag as just a relaxation tool.

Project X Featherweight Future Tech by Jones Snowboards
innovation + simplicity + technology = killer board design. i want one asap! m.
The Project X is a razor sharp, ultralight board made with our most advanced materials and construction technologies. Jones’ Board Engineer Xavier Nidecker designed the Project X to be a board that reflects the future of snowboard production. It’s built using a unique variation of ULTRA Construction that features multiple layers of Fusion Tech and Textreme Carbon instead of a traditional topsheet/fiberglass. The edges of the Spoon nose are beveled up for improved float and turn fluidity while the tail edges are beveled up for less catch. The Project X is the lightest and most advanced board in the Jones quiver.
