Ice bullets




This is something I came across that I thought was cool and would definitely want to own. an ice tray shaped like AK-47 bullets. Some of my friends have these really cool ice trays which makes me sound really lame but i would totally enjoy a cocktail joined with some AK's

Love the Blind




I posted not to long ago about a blind cell phone that I thought was pretty cool, now a designer named David Chavez has won a Spark award for Braille watch which displays a real-time readout in braille using military time. Awesome idea and also another cool looking design, its too bad the blind won't actually see what it looks like but thats beside the point.

Cream Cheese



I really liked this article because I feel, myself included, that trying to get portable cream cheese on a bagel at 7 a.m. while sitting in traffic is a task. So I'm surprised that someone hasn't thought of this sooner but how cool is this, a squeeze and spread design by Miles Russell. Not only is it more effective but it also produces less plastic waste. Pretty cool.

Final Logo




So here is my final logo design, I reworked it a lot and I'm happy with the final result. The professor warned about the smaller fading "wings" but hopefully it will transition to a small resolution.

Blind Cell Phone



I thought this was a really cool concept and shows where technology is moving. Its cool because the cell phone will tell the user what buttons they are touching and once pressed it confirms it. it also has a bluetooth feature so if your in public you can have some privacy without disturbing others. I think that this is an awesome idea and the design is very sharp too.

Voting Booth Design




This Challenge was cool because it gave designers a chance to bring their designs political. The main criteria was to design something for a voting booth and anyone who entered only had an hour. I like these little challenges because they help generate quick thoughts ad ideas while still being creative.

I really enjoyed this article because packaging design is one of the most crucial elements in selling any product. It's the best way for your product to separate itself from the competition in many different ways. it's helps your brand find an artistic identity so when consumers see your products they know its from you. This article has some great ideas , ten to be exact, and they're really insightful.

The Final 3

The countries that I've chosen are:
Kenya
Cyprus
Iceland


In my researching I'm looking for similarities that my three countries share. At this point it's pretty much anything from food to landscapes
I'm in the process of finding repeating imagery and thinking of logo designs
