The packaging features a vector illustration by Yehrin Tong that has been produced in electroluminescent ink.

And Voila! –
Let there be light.
Webb deVlam has created packaging for gin brand Bombay Sapphire that illuminates when the box is lifted off of the shelves. Absolutely brilliant (pardon the pun, but it’s appropriate here).

When Mother Nature sends you a friend request –

(VIDEO) The Lego Story
The Lego story is an interesting one that not only appeals to children, but grown ups. There is a business lesson here about not giving up and about being in the right place at the right time.

This 17 minute animated video describes the life of Danish toymaker Ole Kirk Christiansen, who created the company in 1932, and his son Godtfred, Legos second owner, from the perspective of current owner Kjeld, the founders grandson.
