.surprisingly sustainable.

i always thought... if i never got into designing interiors, i would love to study graphic design, package design in particular... or be a cosmetic dermatologist, but that's another story for another day. 


i'm very inspired by package labels, text, graphics, colors.. etc.  and i often look to label designs as inspiration for resumes, portfolios, website designs, or any graphic projects i take on for my own personal fun.  i think wine and beauty product labels have some of the most interesting, simple, ingenious designs and, believe it or not, i get my most creative ideas from them. 


i love the thought of sustainable packaging. manufactures have the ability to change the amount of waste people create every single day and i think they should be responsible for the environmental impact of products they produce. lately, i've been noticing that so many more products are taking a turn for the green using natural, sustainable materials, or lessening the amount of packaging materials they use all together promoting a positive, productive lifestyle.   


the following are a few resourceful products i just so happen to like very much...

what do you get when you mix yellow and blue?  green!  wine to be exact!

who ever said origami couldn't be sustainable?  take off the packaging and fold away!
