Recycled Design

2 years ago, I was hired by a coffee company to design some 

labels for chocolate flavored coffee. 

I loved working on these... it was the kind of fantasy assignment 

you get in Art School, but rarely get in real life. 

Sadly, the project was killed.

Flash forward 1 year, and guess what?

A lovely client casually mentions that she might need a 

custom label for a promotional chocolate bar.

A little client input, & the result was this:

Now, 2 years later, I needed to come up with a new design 

for an annual non-profit event that I have worked on for 6 years. 

I dipped into the chocolate again, and this is the result:

So, the lesson is: 

1) Don't throw anything away.

2) If a great design doesn't get chosen, save it in an 

inspiration folder.

3) Always give credit where credit is due.

Thanks Ms. Beautiful Things for that yarn pic,

which I *borrowed* from your flickr page.

(for a great cause!)
