Lintar Olive Oil

Although I love this olive oil packaging by TRIDVAJEDAN, I find it more inspiration for something I would want to do to my house. I think it's the contrasting color palette, simple form, and connecting use of the typography that reminds me of trim and window treatments.

Everyone Can Knit

After realizing that I simply cannot sit still (even during a movie), I decided to teach myself how to knit. I'm catching on quickly and loving the repetitive nature of the task, but have to admit that the packaging on yarn or needles isn't the most inspiring... until I stumbled across Ogilvy and Mather's design for Rellana Hair®—a range of fringed yarn. Simple, direct, and clever, the packaging says it all, the wool is perfect for hats and scarves for anyone.

Lucia Packaging Inspired by Spain & Portugal

When Pure Living designed the logo and packaging for Lucia, they were inspired by old, pre-war soap design from Spain and Portugal, creating a contemporary look rich with color and textures counteracted with clean black and white elements. The ligature in the logo gives it personality and a touch of surprise, allowing the logo to be memorable, yet elegant and clean.
