beauty without a package
happened upon this tonight while feeding my inner foodie...and the concept is perfect and simple. remove the packaging and you eliminate unnecessary waste while creating an edible landscape.
the graphics are smart, the website is tailored and unpretentious, inviting all to savor the art of slow food.
now if only we could put one in every savannah neighborhood. perhaps we should sponsor a challenge: most unique and sustainable container to store common food staples...the possibilities are endless.

playUP! savannah
ringing the new year invites self-exploration and evaluation. what am I doing now that I could be doing better? what am I not doing that I should be doing? instead of focusing on the many things I could do better, i have decided to focus on one. the goal for 2010: use blog more effectively.
with that being said, another quarter has commenced at SCAD. group projects emerge, and design thinking takes center stage. this winter, a group of fellow design management grad students and I, have developed a concept we believe has a lot of potential. playUP savannah is the result of creative brainstorming with endless opportunities for success within the savannah community.
our mission statement: to foster community interaction and raise awareness for a local issue through a site-specific installation and promotional campaign. our project aims to facilitate creativity amongst the savannah community. we will be designing an "installation" to communicate a social (welfare) message, urging for a better, quality driven community/society.
we are currently working to identify the issues/topics that are close to the hearts of native savannahians. we hope the playUP philosophy will resonate in cities around the country. local becomes global, think: playUP austin, or playUP cincinnati. making a difference, one city at a time...
