The Tissue Box Dilemma

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Here at Tarte Advertising we’re always on the lookout for good design. E-mails fly about daily with links to well designed websites, cleverly designed logos, eye catching ways to cleverly market a product and great examples of print design.

We Tarte folk also love great design when it comes to the things we need and use on a daily basis in our lives outside the office. Clothing, home goods, tech gear – those links to great product fly about just as frequently.

Today’s link is the ultimate problem solver to the unsightly tissue box. Seriously – has there ever been a nicely designed tissue box? I think not. As quickly as my husband puts them on the tables and in the bathrooms around my house (after 9 years I’m not sure what his “thing” is with tissues but you choose your battles wisely), I pick them up and hide them in cabinets, behind things – their very existence in our home makes me cringe and I’d just assume rub my nose raw on some 2 ply rather than deal with tissues boxes in my house.

Then I found the Sleek, Simple Paper Pot on Delight.com.

The variety of bright colors and the container’s sleek, simple design will fit nicely in your home no matter your decorating taste. You can even mix and match the tops and bottoms of containers for a funkier option if you prefer.

Down with the unsightly cardboard tissue boxes!

Package It Up

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Are you a person who will walk down the aisle of the grocery store, or through the makeup department or around the wine store and purchase something just because of the way it is packaged? If it looks pretty, then you purchase it? I admit it, I am that person - and it drives my husband crazy! I can walk into Sephora with no intentions on buying anything (because I don’t need anything) and walk out of there with a bag full of products that are packaged perfectly.

I love packaging. It is design on a 3-D level and the results can be amazing. Not every designer is great at package design, but the ones who are make me want to stare at their designs all day. Below are just a few examples of what I feel is fabulous packaging.

Some of these examples I love for the simplicity of the design. That simplicity helps them to stand out on a shelf full of clutter. Others I love for the use of fonts. There isn’t one style that I like - it just has to stand out to me.
