Design dirt of the day! What I'm obsessed with this Saturday

A giant Etch A Sketch?

Global Aviation

Me and our CFH producer Katya at Massive Change (future of global design) in Toronto, standing in front of global aviation en route to Bill Buxton's exhibit showcasing the history of input devices (AKA gadgets, including the beloved Etch A Sketch). We're launching a gadget show next month, so this exhibit is on tap as a segment!

A perfectly practical pink package

Orbit

The best gum package design ever is...the Orbit Bubblemint flip-top pack (AKA Extra Bubblemint in Canada). I've been searching for the perfect gum for years, and I think I found it!

Everyone's a designer at Zazzle!

Zazzle

Turn design ideas into custom creations, including t-shirts, cards, and posters at Zazzle. You can submit your designs to the "library" and make money if someone re-prints/orders your work of art. The Toronto Star recently called this California company one of the most aggressive custom design firms to hit the Internet (Zodiac Girlz is just one part of this online store).

Enjoy the rest of the weekend! I'll be visiting Massive Change, chewing Bubblemint, and designing some stylish spring shirts ;).
