Comment on Consumers buy products, not packaging…maybe. by Josh

We had some of that stuff a couple of nights ago, in fact. Not bad! I think it’s safe to say that people pay a lot more attention to the design of wine labels than they do to sock labels.

interesting enough….

I was just at the grocery store and bought a bottle of wine for three reasons –

1. the name & design – Gnarly Head (the NAME/DESIGN caught my eye at first).
2. the type of wine (Zinfandel for my folks for Thanksgiving) but with a fun name Old Vine Zin instead of the ol’ Zinfandel.
3. the $6.00 in coupons for Thanksgiving related items that I could use immediately for my holiday shopping. Pie. Stuffing. Cranberry Sauce. $2.00 off pie – so my secondary “cherry pie” I now… will not have to make – decision made. $2.00 off stuffing – making my already on sale stuffing FREE! $2.00 off cranberry sauce – again, making the already sale priced sauce – FREE.

Love it.

My neighborhood Albertson’s is where I found this gem.

Thanks. The photos are a mix — mostly commissioned with some stock to supplement it. I think in the long run the stock will be replaced with more commissioned photos.

Nice piece of work. You didn’t say whether the photography was commissioned or stock but what ever, they work extremely well.

Hi Josh
Even with my level of self sufficiency I needed to lay down after watching The Stuff video. Very stimulating Blog.

Very, very interesting! I will certainly go through all of these to check them out. Would have loved to hear Adam Lowry- I have been fascinated by Method’s business style/thought process since they started- and I’m always a sucker for well-designed items to put in my house!

You’re making me blush, Pam. Thanks. I can’t even imagine the hell of having to schmooze, bullshit and compromise enough to get elected! But it sure would be great to figure out a way to make an actual difference in the world, I’m working on it…..

I think you’re right. Pollution will continue unless there’s some enormous catastrophic shift, perhaps even beyond the horrors of what the photo I posted depicts.

That’s why I think humans will come up with solutions that will work on the symptoms: flooding, relocation, drought, and so on. We tend be a reactive species. Necessity is usually the mother of invention, not vision or enlightenment.
