Yes! 48 bucks you can get yourself 48 boxes of neon matches for your wedding (this isn’t an affiliate post). I think you would have to position yourself near a blacklight to see these lights up, and I don’t think the flames light up in the various colours, but it’s a neat idea.

This really cool-looking “Tron Bicycle” is the Pulse Urban Bike─a creation by Teague, a company based in Seatle, USA. Featuring electric turn signals, a rear indicator light and stunning light-up mid frame, I think using the word ‘cool’ really sums up what this bike is all about! Take a look at the video after the images…

This is pretty unique, and I can’t remember ever seen anything like this before (except for the Rainbow Observation Deck). Apparently it’s Taiwain’s Xiying Rainbow Bridge, and you can see more images over at Mymodernmet.

The design of a product is complimented enormously by the design of the packaging it comes in. This is something that Apple, who value design more than any of their rivals, appreciate – and it explains the huge number of “unboxing” videos that appear with each new MacBook, iPad and iPhone launch. But it’s not just the high tech companies that appreciate the art of presenting the product well. Product packaging design has become a highly prized artform over the years, helping to draw attention to new products and helping others to stand out on the shelves.

There are few limitations when it comes to product packaging design. A design that stands out and is both remarkable and memorable can be the difference between a product that gets sold and a product that sits on the shelf gathering dust – so creativity and ingenuity are highly prized. We’ve brought together a collection of beautifully designed, creative & unusual product packaging designs. Some are for genuine commercial products, others are student designs and concepts – but all of them have that spark of creativity that makes them stand out from the rest. We hope you find them a useful source of inspiration for your next project.
