The Curious Mixture

This could possibly be one of my absolute favorite packaging designs. The use of Lost Type Co-ops' Tomasso, and clever marketing creates an absinthe bottle worth purchasing and never consuming. Not only does Stig Bratvold have a fabulously minimalist approach, but a touch of whimsy almost makes the entire design light-hearted. The dark bottle could have been heavy and drab, but excellent choice of display type in a beautiful contrasting silver gives the feeling of a bottle straight out of an apothecary, and the burlap sack gives an additional texture that compliments the design instead of fighting for attention.

Lovell's Lager

Lovells Lager was created by two successful Australian music industry professionals, with a passion for great tasting beer. Lovell’s Lager is an Australian beer brand that features some different and unique packaging. Most beer companies don’t really think about creative and clever packaging for their beer but this unique box with a black boombox graphic and hint of retro on a plain white box sure stands out of the crowd!
