Leaving even just the logo on its own, you still know what the product is. The customer recognises brands because it can associate with them it feels comfortable with them. <br /><br />To suggest that these designs are 'Unappealing'<br /><br />Also if you were to take off all of your clothes hair product, makeup (ladies) does that make you less appealing? if anything more honest, more trustworthy. <br /><br />Minimal designs can often and do have more of an effect than complex fanciful designs. <br /><br />Nice workAlexanderCloustonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439445886169420252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-570177871613804972011-10-23T14:07:40.639-07:002011-10-23T14:07:40.639-07:00maybe the earth had a chance if more people though...maybe the earth had a chance if more people thought like this. in other words: we are doomed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-74447726424615041472011-06-29T01:37:26.764-07:002011-06-29T01:37:26.764-07:00I love the minimalist approach of n. 3!

This made me think of the difference between watching American News programs and say...the BBC. Both deliver news but in my opinion the BBC seems more "more genuine". <br /><br />Maybe its the simple graphics and lack of "eye candy". Whatever the case, these waves/patterns of design seem more like a cycle than a set in stone fixed point.

When I think of advertising the last thing that could ever come into mind is "personality". Advertising has as much personality as a whore with a painted face.<br />I hate the premises of advertising and I would love to see, that any product is just identifiable via product name (not trade name - it's not nutella but chocolate spread) and producer. Everything else is just not necessary and only meant to cach your attention - and thus is designed just to do so, without respect to aesthetic qualities. Advertising takes up too much space in the world and it clutters at least my view with overly much junk information I do not need to know ever.Antsanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993116520760182498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-22950054032748709972011-03-29T05:49:38.627-07:002011-03-29T05:49:38.627-07:00i love this minimal design, it looks much cleaner ...i love this minimal design, it looks much cleaner and more modernPatrick Leyendeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310640055956475698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-18462158592763669482011-03-22T00:56:43.215-07:002011-03-22T00:56:43.215-07:00i took a super close look at the original nutella ...i took a super close look at the original nutella packaging once, actually the illustration on the front side is meant to be "serving suggestion" -- they actually wrote it down like that.<br />as much as i like the look of super minimalist design for current modern world, sometimes funny "old/vintage" things make me smile and in this already fast moving world, it's the best to keep some things the way it is and just enjoy it.wainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-14269752913182360292011-03-04T13:35:17.684-08:002011-03-04T13:35:17.684-08:00I love that !

The most significative example is, in my oppinion, the case of Lindt chocolates. Once I've seen the minimalist version, the original one looks like a caviar can with a cartoon fish and funny leeters saying "TASTY EGGS". In the case of Nesquick, a minimalist version has no sense, except if it was a limited edition of nesquick addressed to an adult public. To draw a conclussion: I think that a minimalist version offers a more serious image of the product and suggets a high quality product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-55648486594388234632011-01-07T11:53:52.246-08:002011-01-07T11:53:52.246-08:00Not minimalistic («more simple»), but simple varia...Not minimalistic («more simple»), but simple variation is perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089136280986486038.post-19536029004222261362011-01-07T07:13:12.255-08:002011-01-07T07:13:12.255-08:00Love this project!

Snack and cereal packaging are so cluttered these days, and I think these products would stand out better with a more minimialist approach.<br /><br />I mean, who doesn't know what Corn Flakes look like? Why do I have to see it? Same with Pringles and Nesquick(although I still like the rabbit b/c of his appeal to their target demo). All three are so familiar, they can afford to go minimialist.<br /><br />Nutella, on the otherhand, doesn't have that luxury. Most people would probably know what they're buying, but at the same time, that brown blob in the jar could be anything. The picture actually seems to fit in that situation. Same with Mr. Muscle. The picture seems to give it more credibility. I don't want my cleaner looking too generic.
