Trendy water but good design?

With the new trend of designer water we all seen them come and go. Glass bottles, bling, and celebrity factors to sell water. Now the emergence of the the design of the bottle for functionality and not the cool factor.

This bring us to SEI Water.

" SEI Water goes everywhere. The bottle shape, inspired by the military canteen, is designed around the principle of portability and utilization of space while maintaining a subtle harmony of form and function. The bottle is useful and fashionable; and the taste of SEI natural spring water is pure and crisp."
From the SEI website.

I like the bottle and it seems very functional, but I think if it were made of glass or something that we can reuse that is recyclable then it would have been better.

Either way I guess its cheaper to buy them by the case so with 24 of them you can reuse the bottles till they get messed up and grab another. We'll see them first had when I order mine.

The design bug

I got an invite for an event from one of my friends. I took a look at it and I saw the even flyer and I knew something had to be done. I decided to give it my spin on their flyer.

The event is for UK Thursdays at the Cherry lounge & Pit in Tempe. It is a UK Dub style event with Dj's from LA and Vegas.

I hope to check it out and Hopefully I will get some freelance flyer gigs from doing this one "pro-bono." So here is my version of their flyer, I'm not trying to step on any toes with this version but just to showcase what I can do and hopefully get some work out of it.

Inspired by older European, Bauhaus style posters I seen with a little twist. Looks like I did learn something at ASU's Design College.

Now and Then

Man as I get older I come full circle back to some of the old friends of the past. It's weird how much we all have changed. We all have that common ground where we see the fact that we all gotta help each other out to keep up in the times we are in.

Times like this I come to realize that I am blessed with a great network of people. It brings me back to one of many business ideas, of the hook up club... A group or network of people that all have something that can benefit others in the group. Like someone who does work as a printer or designer, as we all know that at one point we needed that. I dunno, like a scratch my back I scratch your back group but someway to where we all make money in the long run. It's hard to explain as I have not put too much thought into it but who knows.

Aside from all that, what i'm putting down here is my design concepts for the Moshmello project.
Mello, Mello Me, Mello U.... Mosh Me, Mosh U, Moshy, Moshmello...


Got to get the idea to paper... back to the drawing board.

The start

Well, I been wanting to create a blog for some time now. A place to collect all my random thoughts and ideas. Like some of my other journals and online rants I often get into it in the beginning and then lose interest. Hopefully this not going to be like that. I wanted to start off with doing different blogs for each of my interests, but I think that would have made it difficult as I am interested in many things and it would cause me to lose interest in blogging quickly as it would take up too much time.

So here it goes. Food, Life, Design, Fitness and what not. All here on my blog to free up space in my mind for all the new things that I need the space for. I guess we can call this my online storage for my brain. I don't expect anyone to actually follow me or even read this but who knows, what I might have to say might be entertaining to someone out there.

As life progresses I find my self more lost and with so many things going through my mind I often find it difficult to recall what I was thinking . With this my new spot for my thoughts someday will come a great idea that will let me live worry free.
