Small Bites: February 2, 2015

Happy Groundhog Day! Fingers and toes crossed that we get an early spring. Here are some small bites of great design to kick off your week right!

I was at a gourmet food market this weekend in Colorado Springs, and I found this really awesome packaging design for Trailhead Chai. Definitely an appropriate brand for Colorado, but also a great use of color, illustration and typography!

Going ballistic over this Le Chocolat de Francais packaging design I saw online from Packaging of the World. It’s adorable and so tres, tres francais! Great illustration and vibrant colors.

Get inspired with this great Creative Mornings talk from typographic designer, Chank Diesel. I had the pleasure of seeing him speak in Denver at an AIGA workshop. He’s a talented typographer, nice guy and funny presenter. For font geeks out there, watch this!

Graphic design humor from Creative Bloq: 10 Things You Should Never Say to a Graphic Designer. Sadly, I’m sure we’ve all been here at one point in our careers.

Must call out the cute puppy commercial from Budweiser for the Super Bowl. I know it was released early and probably overly promoted, but I don’t careā€”it’s so cute and sweet, it’s worth watching for the 50th time.

Have a great week!
