Pana Chocolate

Absolutely wonderful packaging for a line of organic raw chocolate bars.

Pana Chocolate is a handmade raw organic chocolate brand based out of Melbourne, Australia. To fit with the companies ethos “heart your insides, heart the earth”, the packaging was designed to be eco friendly – recyclable foil, soy based pantone inks, 100% recycled board – the result is a very rough, organic feel. The aim was design packaging for the chocolate that drew the right people to it, but also to make people outside of their usual market want to try it purely because they loved the packaging.

Identity, illustration and packaging designed by Porsha Marais.

EMPO by Lo Siento.

EMPO is a psycho-osteopathy school and office. The project takes the study of the human body and its parts as a starting point. We decided to represent the organs and bone structure in a physical and volumetric form, using colored cardboard in the search of a certain school-nostalgia feeling.
At the same time, we started studying the way to create an exclusive alphabet for the project: it should “lift” in random volumes to hold an organic reminiscence.

Commission piece done for 3dartistonline.com as a tutorial on 3D sculpturing. Appropriate too, because my skull is also filled with unreadable script.

Hand in Hand Sustainable Suds

Hand in Hand (the company that donates one bar of soap to a child in need with every bar purchased) recently added three new designs to their line of Sustainable Suds.

You may recall the original design featured in 2011. The new packaging was art directed and designed by Joy Deangdeelert Cho of Oh Joy who worked with illustrator Emma Block to convey her vision. The soaps are available on Hand in Hand’s website and will also be sold at Anthropologie stores nationwide.

Student Spotlight Gioia Luisa

Beautifully designed branding and packaging for a line of limoncellos.

“After studying art history in Italy, I was inspired to do a project that revolved around the Italian experience I had. While I was overseas, I had the privilege to collect bits of food and art culture that influenced this project. Gioia Luisa is a limoncello line of after dinner spirits I redesigned with a new and elegant bottle and drinking accessories. I was inspired by Italian ceramic painting and the natural floral design of the fruit plants. “

Designed by Tiffany Moy, a student attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA.

“What often we do is we’ll have maybe a fishing rod with a little tennis ball or a piece of paper on the end of it. And do rehearsals where we might bring some kind of object or a stand-in that we can move around that the kids can actually see. But a lot of it really just comes from imagination. ”

I think overall - and I think you need this as an actor - I’ve got a keen sense of empathy, sometimes I almost worry too much about how people feel, like when I get off the bus and there’s a zebra crossing right there, I don’t want to inconvenience anyone so I keep walking further down to more traffic (Laughs). I think if you’re always able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes then that’s the key to acting. (x)

Homemade Game of Thrones boardgame

George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has been a well-regarded fantasy series of novels for years, but it wasn’t until Game of Thrones made its way to television that it became the marketable juggernaut it is today. There are posters, magnets, bookmarks, card games and board games. That last one, in particular, got a home made upgrade that has to be seen to be believed.

A gamer, let’s call him Matt B. (because that’s his name) saw that there was a Game of Thrones board game and thought “Cool, but I think it could be better,” and then commissioned one of the best looking board games ever.

Hand-carved wood, hand-made bags, hand-made … everything really. It looks like it could actually be in the world of Game of Thrones. And isn’t that what a board game should be at its essence—a gateway to another world?

Vintage Suitcase Drawer Dresser | Man Made DIY

There’s something nice about vintage suitcases that I can’t quite put my finger on. Maybe it’s that they feel like they have a bit of history about them. They’re not really practical these days for air travel, but they are usually so sturdily built that it’s a shame to leave them laving in the op shops. This is such a cool use for them - very Mad Men, 60’s, inherited-ish! If you have a retro vibe in your house these would slot in perfectly. And they don’t have to go in the bedroom- these would be perfect for holding your fabrics, craft supplies, in the bathroom to hold towels and other bits and pieces… all you need to do is find enough cases in the same size!

beingthinisnotasin:

Swift as a deer. Quiet as a shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords.
Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords.
Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords.
The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords.
Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords.

Whoo hoo!

This is my salute to one of my favorite Game of Thrones characters, Arya Stark!

Making this mug was super-simple, and you can find tutorials all over the internet. All you need is a mug, a sharpie, and an oven!

I didn’t have room for the last two ‘fear cuts deeper than swords’ but I really like how it turned out! Even my little direwolf sigil at the bottom :) The silver sharpie was awesome! The handle broke off (before I started the project) so it looks more like a bowl, but I’m still really happy with the finished result.
