Whether it's subtle or in-your-face, design with a cause can change things. Take a look at Neshan, a professional and educational magazine — making efforts to facilitate closer ties between designers in Iran, Asia, and the world.

“The majority of the world’s designers focus all their efforts on developing products and services exclusively for the richest 10% of the world’s customers. Nothing less than a revolution in design is needed to reach the other 90%.”
—Dr. Paul Polak, International Development Enterprises
Check out this amazing project headed up by Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum to reach the other 90%.

San Francisco based designer, Richard Perez, has helped rebrand Jell-o as a lively dessert for a new generation. The result is a much more vibrant, playful, and energetic brand. While not relying solely on nostalgia, the solution does carry on the tradition of the advertising character from the 60's and 70's.

A friend of Tenfold ordered some music from CD baby and got this confirmation email...
Thanks for your order with CD Baby!
Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Wednesday, June 3rd.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh...

Tenfold designed "J" and was asked by the folks at Odell to promote our design. If you like our work, we'd love to have your vote. Odell Brewing, a craft brewer based in Fort Collins, created and named this brew from the suggestions of their Twitter followers. Blackbird is a dark German-style Schwarzbier. Voting ends tomorrow 5/29/09 at 7 a.m. mountain time.
CONGRATULATIONS to Jesse Clarke, designer of Tap Handle "D," winner of Odell Brewing Co tap handle design contest.

Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins is using Twitter to craft its first ever TwitterBrew. They have used the social media venue to allow followers to select the brew, name it, and then enter the tap handle design contest. “There are so many people who are interested in brewing but don’t really have the means to do it,” says Jeff Doyle of Odell. “The Twitter Brew will give them the chance to get involved with the whole process.”
The brew selected by followers is a schwarzbier with dark roasted malts and dry hop aroma. The brew was aptly named Blackbird (Get it? Twitter?). 10 a.m. on May 26th is the deadline for tap handle designs. Twitter brewers can try their beer at the brewery’s Tap Room during the tapping party on May 30, 2009.
Above is Tenfold's entry into the tap handle design contest. It was intimidating to design for Odell—their packaging is already beautiful. We chose to illustrate a red wing blackbird because they are native to Colorado and the touch of red is so iconic. We added the "tweet" in the beak to tie in with the process of using Twitter to develop the brew.
