Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved cruising down Ocean City&#8217;s Coastal Highway watching for retro building signs. I guess I was destined to be a graphic designer.

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.</p>

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