Drunk as a Lord, hammered like a sow

Chaucer has "dronke ... as a Mous" (c.1386); and, my personal favorite, from 1709, is, "He's as Drunk as a Wheelbarrow." Medieval folklore distinguished four successive stages of drunkenness, based on the animals they made men resemble: sheep, lion, ape, sow. Anyhuuw - these 3 xqisité examples of packaging can easily trick you into a state where your physical and mental faculties are impaired, OR are they simply so chic that you dont even wanna open the bottles?

Look at the colar on that lil gin beauty. Creds missing on the other 2, help me out!

Love in a package...

Every night I cry myself to sleep being stuck working with stupid ass webdesign surrounded by computergeeks instead of working in a small firm doing packaging and print. Now its kind of 'too late' to go into proper design work, but I guess that is just pure bull. Never too late right!!! RIGHT!? Every single time I start surfing for inspiration I end up on looking at packaging or some intricate typography. Cant remember the last time I saw some really nifty typo on a webpage apart from some half decent spacing here and there. 96% crap....

But hey! Thanks a lot for having 2 of my projects in your new book BigBros.

Go see some packaging over at Vi.sualize.us and TheDieline and GraphicExchange now...
