The Brave Zig While The Rest Zag: A Packaging Perspective On Creating |
"The shelves of America's supermarkets and drug stores are cluttered with bland design. But if Christine Mau had anything to do with it, that would cease to be true. In fact, Mau does have a lot of influence over our shopping experience: As the associate director of packaging graphics at Kimberly-Clark, she is in a position to re-envision the way many basic consumer goods are purveyed-and she has taken full advantage of that opportunity. Under her direction, the Kleenex box has become a personalized thing of fun and beauty, an object of décor rather than just a receptacle for a hygiene product. In this talk, she will explain how she's been able to create breakthrough work at one of this country's largest companies-and why it pays to think way outside the (tissue) box. Christine will talk about: Identifying the greatest risk: Is it doing the expected or doing the unexpected? How to move away from category norms, and break the rules-with a purpose. Why some brands' pa"

Making Consumers Fall In Love With Your Brand - Ondemand Design |
"Have an idea, create a business, launch a brand, and gain an international (and rabidly devoted) customer base in under five years. That kind of business fairytale rarely happens in real life, but it happened for Pinkberry. Overnight, it seemed, the frozen yogurt shop went from one small store, to a beloved, national chain, to an international institution. The designer behind that phenomenal brand success is Yolanda Santosa, owner of branding and design company Ferroconcrete. Santosa was brought on board when Pinkberry had a single shop in Los Angeles, and created the playful, charming visual presence that established it on a global stage. In this webcast, Santosa shares her experiences establishing the Pinkberry brand—and explains the key to making brands live: personality. At the end of the day, people fall in love with personalities, not business, she says. Making those personalities lovable is the challenge that every designer working with a new brand (or refreshing an o"
