I have all my source back in Taiwan but that doesn't work here, in US, so I'm back from the beginning, again; which is, I don't mind at all [sort of like my life circle nowadays], but that means I need to do sourcing again, and also means I need to invest more books!! Money, money, money. Life is all around it, isn't it. Good thing is that I found some good ones to charge up my ability instantly. In the mean time, the books themselves have some fun design as well. One is Package Form and Design from PIE which is a prestige publisher from Japan. I love, absolutely love, Japanese packaging, which can be loud, and everywhere and in the mean time, is carried out so elegantly. It makes me want to buy everything while my several trips to Japan, and I did, and those packaging still sit nicely in my sourcing books. I never regret it [maybe, the money part....] If you've been to Japan, you know what I'm talking about. If not, don't go there!
Back to the topic...the design that I really like is that it uses very simple design, which is usually seen in F&B packaging, to enclose its sample CD.
How come I haven't thought about it?!! I'm pretty open-minded myself when come to design. I'd like to take some ideas from different industries to the other. I mean, why not?! The only concern will be for food that the material is definitely needed to pay more attention when crossing the industry. Otherwise, why not share the same interests! At the end, a brand will always desire to cover everything for the greater profit [cough* cough*], eventually, from fashion to food. Down to the bone, money!

sad? hell no! I got to look at beautiful design every day^D^
