Frost Youself

My sisters website has been up and running for a few weeks now, and while I'd like to say she took onboard some of my design ideas, Miss I Change My Mind Every Five Minutes did no such thing.  Oh well she got something she liked in the end, and thats all that matters.  Even if she kept trying to do designs in powerpoint *shudders*

Vanity Barcodes

I stumbled across a link for Vanity Barcodes on The Die Line.

The thing with most packaging is that no matter how great the design is, the barcode will always let it down.  Its like an ugly black blemish.  However Reuben and Yael Miller have set about changing that by turning barcodes into quirky designs in their own right.

Hopefully with these two leading the way, other designers will cotton on to the fact that just because there are rules which must be followed to ensure a barcode works, they can still be altered and incorporated into design.
