Beach Typography

My favorite part of  going to the beach is all of  the cheesy typography. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved cruising down Ocean City’s Coastal Highway watching for retro building signs. I guess I was destined to be a graphic designer. Here are a few of my favorites.

Seeds of Change Exotic Packaging

I was shopping at Whole Foods and bought a jar of Seeds of Change Korma Simmer Sauce mainly because I loved the product’s packaging. I am also guilty of buying books based on their covers, but I will save that for another post. The label features a deep orange hue overlaid with line-drawn illustrations of ginger, parsley, palm trees, and the Taj Mahal. How can you beat that combination? Its retro-inspired packaging really makes it stand out from the competitors.

The packaging also reminded me of a branding assignment that I designed last year for an English tea company.
