Bottle caps are an essential part of every bottled beverage. The market is filled with numerous breweries and distinctive beers. If you’re a brewer, overlooking this part of the packaging design isn’t an option. Right before a customer pops the cap off, you should have some sort of visible branding presented to them.

Branding Ascendancy: Fuel Coffee Shop in Brighton, MA.

Igor Ovsyannykov — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:00:34 +0000

Fuel is a new “vintage-modern” American coffeehouse that celebrates friendships, inspiration, hard work, and the American “can-do” spirit. To “Ignite your Journey,” they offer custom coffee, better beverages, fresh foods and baked goods.

What caught my attention about this ordinary coffee shop, was the well executed all around branding. Richie Stewart of Commoner Inc, was commissioned to design the branding and packaging for Fuel Coffee. For further explanation on the process, check out the following quote:

“Our goal for the design was to play off the name of the brand and create a concept that referenced the aesthetic of old motor oil cans. We sourced some super shiny, metallic bags to suggest what the material of those cans would have originally been made of.

We did 1& 2 color prints on self adhesive labels with the main logo mark and style of coffee. These were then applied to each bag individually. Not only did this save on cost but it gave the finished product a slightly more human, handmade quality which mirrors the small batch roasting process in which the coffee was made.” - Richie Stewart

The vibe and experience portrayed thought the images really encourage me to take a trip to Massachusetts. I’m a big advocate of the retro and vintage design trend. Even if you’re not in the same boat, I truly feel that the style and execution of Fuel Coffee is worth admiring. Enjoy!

A Look at Some of The Most Legendary Car Designs

Igor Ovsyannykov — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:34:35 +0000

This article was written for Inspirationfeed by Jordan Perch. Jordan is an active promoter of the new developments in the automotive industry. He is an author of many how-to articles related to DMV, safe driving, buying/selling vehicles, auto insurance etc.

Beauty is ephemeral and subjective, it’s very tough to reach a consensus on which car has the best design. Some people may find a certain car’s exterior attractive, while others may consider the same car unappealing. In the past, many cars have been manufactured that were able to get the approval/appraisal from the most pickiest and strictest auto critics and car enthusiasts, thus becoming somewhat of icons in the automobile world. I think everybody in the general public has a dream car. Today we would like to focus your attention on bold vehicles admired by almost every passionate car enthusiast. Enjoy!

Aston Martin DB9 Coupe

Starting with a classic British car, the Aston Marting DB9 Coupe is a legendary sports car with great performances and an amazing design. It has a very elegant design, coupled with a perfect aerodynamic shape, which allows the car to achieve those high performances it is famous for. Up front, there is a large, wide grille, along with a large, nicely curved hood, and long, vertically positioned headlights, giving it a mean, aggressive look. The little decklid spoiler is the most distinctive feature at the back end of the car, along with the LED-lighted side strakes. So, you could say that Aston Martin has managed to stay true to its reputation as a company that has always managed to produce flawlessly designed cars.

Bugatti EB110 SS Veyron

Apart from being one the fastest cars ever made, the Veyron offers a great design, too. This supercar, which achieves a 250-mph top speed, has a couple of very distinctive features that make it unique and pretty attractive. They include the elliptical grille with the Bugatti emblem attached on it, along with the imposing, bulging fenders, and the curved hood the runs uninterrupted from the bottom of the front end all the way to the windshield. This is definitely one of the most iconic car designs that we’ve ever seen.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

Although it was introduced over 50 years ago, this Mercedes-Benz is still remembered as one the most unique cars as far as design is concerned. The German car manufacturing giant introduced a revolutionary car design feature on the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL: the gull-wing doors that hadn’t been seen on a car before. Although the manufacturer didn’t have today’s technology, it managed to make a car with a very good aerodynamic shape, which, along with the direct-injection engine provided for a 161-mph top speed.

The unique door design was made because of the tubular frame, which was pretty high and regular doors wouldn’t have been be very practical. So, they saw the solution in these doors that are opening upwards, which is also helpful when you have to park the car on a narrow parking spot, where you would have difficulties opening conventional car doors.

1928 Duesenberg Model J

This is one of the most recognizable and iconic vintage cars. It’s a pretty long and heavy vehicle, with a 153-inch wheelbase, weighing about 2.5 tons. What made it so legendary are the headlights shaped like bullets, and the the long, skirted fenders. This car is pure elegance and style, and some of the most famous people in America at time owned a Duesenberg, such as Al Capone and Howard Hughes.

1961 Jaguar E-Type

This classic car was called “The most beautiful car ever made”, by the legendary Enzo Ferrari, so you know it’s a special car, since it got such a compliment from an one of the most famous icons in the history of the automotive world. It’s a two-seat sports car, that features a very unique design. It has an extra long hood, an almost vertical windshield, and some very good-looking headlights above the front bumper. Plus, it was one of the fastest cars at the time it was made, with a top speed of 149 mph.

So, while every person has their own favorite car design, these are some of the best, most iconic designs that people are going to talk about for years to come.

35 Funky & Fancy Pillow Designs

Designraid — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 06:32:07 +0000

Pillows were originally used by wealthy men in Asia and also located in Ancient Egyptian tombs. Believe it or not, pillows were originally hard boxes made from stone, wood, metal, or porcelain instead of stuffed fabric. The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques led to the development of pillows as an art form. Back in Medieval Europe, pillows were widely used when women gave birth and if a man was considered weak it was suggested he should use one. Later on, the Industrial Revolution accelerated mass production of decorated textiles and decorative pillows for the masses.

Today you’re able to find all sorts of creative pillow designs on the market. Just hop on to Etsy.com or Amazon.com and you will find a wide variety of comfortable pillows. It crazy to see how far we’ve come as a species. But then again, I’m sure people in the future will laugh at our current sleeping technology. Today we collected a few interesting pillow designs that make normal pillows look dull and boring. We hope this collection will inspire the DIY people and creatives as well. Enjoy!
