Brain Records Celebrates 40 Years With Awesome Box Set

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Here’s some awesome packaging. It’s a box set celebrating the 40^th anniversary of Brain Records. Located in Germany, Brain Records was founded in 1972 and is considered the revolutionary label of electronic music.

There were tons of connections in the Brain Records scene as the majority of the acts shared members and were really good friends. Designed by Joseph Cox, the special edition box set pays tribute to those connections using the circuitry as a metaphor. The graphics also illustrate a connection to the electronic instruments that were prominent to the label’s sound.

With the revival of vinyl records, designers are given so much more space to work with. So the packaging of box sets such as this end up looking so incredible.

The Art of Packaging Wines

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Wine packaging is the focus today. Why? Because wineries are getting more and more creative with their custom packaging (and because it’s so tasty). Packaging plays such an important role in selling and differentiation, especially in the wine industry. In a previous post from a few weeks back, we saw the wine label that could be folded out into a poster rubber-banded to the bottle rather than glued. Packaging for these four wines below are all similar in that they’re so unique.

Francis Coppola Reserve label focuses on being memorable and eye catching while showcasing distinctive vineyards from Sonoma’s renowned appellations.

Revelry wines from Washington State are sold in patent-pending REVELution cask. The innovative boxed design holds almost twice the amount of wine that a bottle holds, isn’t susceptible to cork taint and keeps wine fresh for several weeks after opening. It also features recyclable packaging.

Paco & Lola from Spain takes a very unconventional approach to bottling their wines giving prestige to their modern and dynamic varieties.

Vancouver Island design company, Hired Guns Creative has designed beautiful packaging for Venturi Schulze Vineyards. The design of their wine bottles needed to convey that their wines were something special; a typical wine label just wouldn’t do. A silk-screened bottle concept was created with a design that matches the quality of the wines and works with each of the 10-15 types of wine that they release each year.

The Beauty of Cardboard

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Many look at cardboard and see it as a simple packaging material. To often it finds its way to the trash instead of being recycled. But as the cliche goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This is the case for Mark Langan, who is an artist based out of Ohio that has made his life’s work out of corrugated boxes.

As his website states;

…I see it as an endless supply source that I purge from my trash and neighborhoods, reusing it towards my creations. Artwork that is intriguing to the viewer whereas one might ponder quite some time over. A form of green art, that makes a definitive statement with its contribution to the recycling movement.

With a touch of brilliance Mark takes “reuse” to a new level. Revamping simple cardboard into breath taking works of art. Here are a few samples of his work.
