If I was a big cigarette company....

Earlier this week my girlfriend wanted me to buy her some cigarettes while shopping for a certain kind for her she stated something intresting. She said why don't they make cigarettes with both menthol and non-menthol in one box like a side-by-side nerds box. Cigarette companies would make millions off of this idea and would have a very easy advertising campaign. So for this blog I decided to design what I think the new box would look like if I was in charge of creating it.

I tried to keep the same look as the original box but add  the side-by-side look of  a nerds box or just something that was split in two.

On September 2, 2009 I saw something new at the gas station. It was an energy drink the drink stood out to me from a far simply because of its design. It is called Pure Energy and has a glass bottle with a silver metallic cap. Not only was the cap metallic, but it actually had some weight to it. It gave me off a feeling of class to me simply because of what it looked like it looked like a higher quality than all the other energy drinks in thier simple tin cans. 

I was thought on a way to improve it and the only thing I could think of would be to add brighter colors in the lettering to make it stand out even more to draw you toward the center of the bottle to allow you to see what your looking at.
