package design

Valentine's
Day is even better when it falls on the weekend.  No
school-night-date-night conflict and there's time to have fun with the
kids as well. 

I've been working on some interesting design
projects this week.  It drives me crazy that I can't show sneak-peeks. 
Some of my contracts actually prohibit me from letting the cat out of
the bag – or the hen out of the haystack, to start a new cliche.  While
I'm plugging away on product-design, I'm working on package design as
well — and I love it — I love designing boxes.  My inner engineer
gets the baton.

Perhaps next year, I can make some funky, 3-D
valentines for folks to download and get those folds, flaps, tabs and
tucks out of my system.  I wish I had thought of it last week, but was
mightily engaged in the storm of drawings and prototypes strewn across
the studio.

I'll make a note.  Till then, here's wishing you a
Happy Valentine's Day weekend! Go smooch someone cute, or someone
sweet, or someone cute and sweet. Or eat something cute and sweet if
you have no one to smooch.
