How do you build a chocolate brand? from edenspiekermann_ on Vimeo.
Packaging World posted this insightful video on how an ex-NASA rocket scientist and a WIRED magazine founder came together to form TCHO, a new kind of chocolate company with a unique flavor and look.
The video was put together by the Edenspiekermann agency and shows their process into designing the look of TCHO.

Trillions from MAYAnMAYA on Vimeo.
MAYAnMAYA are back with another fun illustrated video about the future of information organization. The video here talks about how the future of information architecture and infrastructure is going to be in the TRILLIONS with layered pieces controlling the flow of information.
Their previous videos on Architecture and Information should be a good starting point if you aren’t familiar with the work of MAYAnMAYA.

The Max Bill watch with lines (from Junghans) is now $798. Down from a normal price of $840.
What. A. Steal. -_-

Back in May of this year, I posted about a wonderful redesign project by Dustin Curtis who took it upon himself to redesign the American Airlines website. Dustin’s reasons for doing this were to hopefully inspire American Airlines to do something about their barely usable site and to generally give them a better online presence in the midst of competition from people like JetBlue (who have a great online website).
As the story goes, Dustin was then contacted by somebody — Mr. X, as he is known — who worked at American Airlines and wanted to clear the air with some knowledge of how the design process works at AA.
Well, Mr. X volunteered that information and then AA fired him for apparently breaking a non-disclosure agreement which is unfortunate because Mr. X seemed pretty passionate about what he did at AA in his letter to Dustin.
I’m not going to go into who was right or wrong here, but I hope American Airlines gets over their red tape and thinks about what they’ve just done.

Russian design studio Transformer Studio designed this wonderful coffee cup for La Strada cafe. I wish my local deli carried coffee cups as good looking as this.
Head on over to the Transformer Studio website to see the entire La Strada design concept.
