I spend a lot of time looking at things. No really, A LOT OF TIME. It makes sense, seeing as I’m a designer by profession. Aside from the obvious, inspiration, I find looking at things is meditative (or maybe it’s the seduction of drone, for me). In any case, it’s something I thoroughly enjoy. So I thought I’d share with you, a few of the places that have been calling my droning gaze.
This time, I’ll share with you some of the great things I’ve been looking at, in the world of print design and packaging design.
