Currently on the wait list for the #rabbitr1 … seen some mixed reviews but that sort of tech is the future!
Why can’t I follow anyone???!! Are there gremlins in the system?
What are your 5 recommended follows on here?
Go.
They get everywhere!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhrgh
Nice work
It’s a good point. Never a fan of bottled or canned water. Seems a bonkers waste!
Here’s a bizarre one that I stumbled across the other day.
It’s obviously key for brands to communicate instantly what they are and how they benefit the consumer, so it’s quite confusing to see a brand that’s pushing the opposite and trying to reinforce what it’s not.
They pitch it as ‘The world’s first zero carb, zero alcohol, zero taste... beer.’ but is it trying NOT to be a beer, or trying TO be a credible water?
Interesting proposition, but I wonder if this is a ‘Simpsonesque’ joke that will wear off quite quickly?#BrandDesign, #PackagingDesign, #Packaging, #Marketing

It’s a bit slapdash, but I suppose that’s part of its charm.
In a sea of slick competition that are trying to cue authenticity, one of the best ways to do this is to take a more amateurish approach.
It cues consideration and that handmade feel that you attribute with brands like Angostura Bitters.
Have a look at this fantastic that example that I understand is an import from, South Africa. The back of pack has sort of become the front of pack.
Where the brand tends to suffer from the lack of Real Estate the SRP with its bold handwritten font certainly makes up for.
You can’t make up proper authenticity, you have to actually live it. #BrandDesign, #PackagingDesign, #Packaging, #Marketing

Based on what you have learned so far about Nostr, what two things functionality wise would you build intothe platform?
Keen to follow any design agencies, designers or brands on here. If that sounds like you then let me know.

Is it possible to post to nostr using an API?
If you ever needed a good example of why it pays to be distinct in your on shelf presence, this is probably it.
In light of huge price hikes and clearly plenty of pilfering, some of the supermarkets have opted for a bit of on-shelf security, thankfully we haven’t got to the old barbed wire just yet, but here is an interesting example from Tesco where all of the premium spirits are placed protected and tagged.
You may just about recognise some, but not all of the brands through these makeshift prison bars and I suppose that brings me to my main point.
Your packaging design is a great opportunity to create something distinct that works at a distance as people approach the shelf.
If that distinction works through one of these bags then you know you have that and recognition cracked.

No matter how many people I follow, they do not show in my account. Why could that be?

Great. Thanks
I was listening to a podcast recently where someone had unearthed some tinned meat from the Second World War.
Obviously intrigue got the better of them, and they opened the can to check the contents which was pretty brave! – surprisingly, they described the contents as "good enough to eat"
Now, whilst tinned food is designed to stand the test of time, the same shouldn't be said for the branding on them.
Take this a rather bizarre example of tinned meals designed for people clearly into early 60s cowboy films?! So unless you're planning on having John Wayne round for dinner, this may not be the brand for you.
Tastes change and consumers change. Their needs are constantly shifting because of external factors.
Brands have a duty to meet these needs and remain relevant.
If you don't stay relevant, then the consumer will always look for an alternative.
