Best packaging ever

When I turned on my "super-noticing powers" on a rare moment I had some free minutes at my job (not kidding!), I grabbed a water bottle nearby and started examining it real close. I noticed how the same plastic is hard at the top, and soft the center, and again hard in the bottom. And it's also made to support the weight of about eight more boxes when it's piled up, but has to be able to deform if one wants to throw it in the trash.
And of course all of the time trying to save some material = savings.

But then I stopped to think about how nature already gives us the best packaging ever. Take for example an orange or coconut. The product is born enclosed in it,
It's made to last for weeks and even months, and it's completely organic so it won't pollute, but will also return to the Earth from where it came from. And the biggest feature of them all is that this source is renewable, a tree will produce thousands and thousands of oranges in its lifetime!
Also, an orange will withstand being carried in a truck with other hundreds or thousands oranges, arriving fresh, and not only that, but it has all the vitamins securely in it.

Money grows in trees.

Design dreams

Today I woke up from a dream. In it I was checking this nice font that had some nice forms, I liked the style it had but not some things in it, so deciding to make a new one based on it I started to draw over it. I finished doing the redesign, happy with the result, and when I was about to save, I woke up :(

I need to buy that always-on thingie...

Ratatouille

I think that many modern movies lack something. For example Disney-Pixar's Ratatouille.
As a comparison, while in Pan's Labyrinth we could see how the main and even the secondary characters develop over the movie, Ratatouille lacks in this area. Yes, superb animation, superb world and even excellent


graphic design.

But, the characters seem flat, one doesn't feel any kind of affinity for them. Linguini for example, begins and ends the movie as just a guy who needs to keep a job. Remy the rat begins as a talented chef and stays that way, no enlightening, no wake up call. It seemed like the movie wanted to explore many paths but fell short. It could have just focused more on a story, like Linguini's inheritance. Unless he is a MacGuffin*, a walking one...

*MacGuffin: Something that motivates the character "but is of little or no importance"

Pushing Daisies

Great show! And a rare one. Great because it's so well done, and each chapter is like a mini movie. And rare because it's one of the few ones that will leave you feeling better.

Very positive, fresh and colorful, will leave you wanting more.
