Nomadic Meal ecological packaging design

Some of the projects realised during a 4th Year packaging and branding assignment with the Ecole Bleue.
The brief was to develop new ecological packaging for a healthy nomadic meal.

Solutions include flexible puzzle elements that built to complete meals, a stackable breakfast for an 'on the go' morning, a meal in a book to combine reading and eating and a tetrahedron-shaped packaged balanced meal.

Students selected a type of cuisine, created a name and brand and developed physical packaging and shape design to best protect the food and the environment at the same time.

Barack Obama - President of the United States

Barack Obama has inspired the design profession in a way that George W Bush never could. And he has inspied the United States of America as confirmed by his landslide win of the US Presidential elections.

Candidate campaign posters and political party design and communications are generally a moribund subject with the inevitable clichéd imagery, bland smiles, empty promises and worn out slogans.

The 50 posters created by designers for Barak Obama are an interesting and inspiring exception to this rule.

me-we brand: The Alliance for Climate Protection

The complete article by Steven Heller from the New York Times.

1° and me - we brands

The 'me - we' brand by New York designer Brian Collins for
Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection campaign and the
1° Australian Climate Change brand by Landor for Rupert Murdoch's News Corps campaign.
Two brands that brilliantly communicate their critical global messages.

me - we is a clever visual pun and calculus, a powerfully simple and universally impactful icon.
1° communicates the idea of a one degree reduction in global temperatures by every individual, hence the 1 that looks like a human figure. If everyone changes behavior, we can change the planet.
Congratulations on their minimal simplicity, understatement and creative intelligence.
