 Burgopak Wins iF Communication Design Award 2009Burgopak has won the iF Communication Design Award for Packaging 2009.The winning entry was a sleek and innovative promotional cigarette pack designed by Burgopak Germany for British American Tobacco, Hamburg as part of a marketing campaign targeted at the Austrian market. Showcasing smart and technical detail, the Burgopak design team have created a variation on the theme of sliding mechanisms to create an elegant one hand operated promotional pack. When the lid is opened, cigarettes of various flavours rise out of the top of the packet, ready to hand. Simultaneously, a booklet is released on the opposite end, connected through the pack by an invisible magnet. The cigarettes and booklet are retracted as smoothly as they appeared, re-forming the compact packet. Evidencing continuous outstanding design achievement, this is the second year in a row that Burgopak has been awarded an iF design award. Burgopak's innovative pharmaceutical pack design for the PocketPak line of ibuprofen and paracetamol won the iF Packaging Design Award 2008. design directory Burgopak > Packaging Design Services added by Levent OZLER |
 Re-Designing DesignSavannah College of Art and Design faculty visits RKS to learn RKS's proprietary design thinking methodology and stay ahead of the curve in this new era of design.After RKS founder and C.E.O. Ravi Sawhney spoke at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) last spring, Tom Gattis, Chair of SCAD's industrial design department asked RKS to develop a workshop for SCAD's entire team of design educators. So this past week, twelve professors from the SCAD- ID group descended upon RKS's Southern California headquarters for an introduction to Psycho-Aesthetics, the RKS design-thinking methodology. The workshop, lead by Tom White, RKS Executive Vice President, and Ingvald Smith-Kielland, RKS Vice President of Strategy, took a deep-dive approach as it immersed the SCAD team in the highly- visual RKS process. Discussions were dynamic and brainstorm sessions were lively. The SCAD professors soon found Psycho-Aesthetics to be a highly-adaptable framework suited to solving problems far beyond product development alone. The SCAD team left energized after two days of productive and collaborative discourse. "This has been a great experience that has immense value in giving direction for the future," said Dean Ermoli, while Professor Gattis found the workshop, "eye opening" and "game changing." RKS gained a deep appreciation for the talented faculty driving this young, ambitious institution and its new programs forward. more Re-Designing Design design directory SCAD > Design Education added by Levent OZLER |
