• Animated Wine Label from Argentina

  
  For me, this one comes back to that old concept – if you want to stand out, you have to do something to make people talk about you… and what a conversation piece this would be. Clever stuff from studio Elhombredelalata.

• Chocolate – the old fashioned way!

  
  
  
  Love this old school chocolate packaging. The The Mast brothers make their chocolate like 19th century artisans, a small shop making small batches. Read more here.

• Amazing projections

  
  We have similar projected lighting effects on buildings in Sydney – some of which are quite striking visually, but certainly nothing like this!!

  • Packaging

• Packaged to WOW!!

  
  The words strangely wonderful come to mind! The top image is a range of hot sauces, and the bottom items are dry rubs. These startling packaging designs were the creation of design prodigy – Michael Freimuth.

• Like your bars fancy?

  
  Seriously, when did handle bars start becoming soo fancy?!? And where are the grip pads. And why such a fancy bar for what looks like a racing bike? The answer to all of these questions lies in the creator – a graphic designer. Suddenly it all becomes clear… no, I said clear, not logical! Visit Workerman for more (craziness).
