It’s winter, beer is good, and we all like warm hugs. Now, we can get in on the winter theme while we drink, by becoming an adorable drunk snowman.
Russian beer, Ochakovskiy, along with agency DDVB, has come up with creative packaging for their Limited Edition Winter Ale. When brought up to your face to drink, you’ll appear to have a snowman carrot nose.
Hold the can up long enough, and surely someone will give you a warm hug.

Landing a design gig is hard, but there’s always creative ways to grab a hiring manager’s attention. Brooklyn-based creative pro, April Hansen, knows this and has come up with a great way to land the job.
Adobe Suite Chocolate Bars use the icons of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as its packaging, with some added creative flair. Check the back of the bars for nutritional info and April’s skill set.
Hopefully the chocolates are effective. And, if not… Do you really want to work for someone who doesn’t like chocolate?

The force is strong in this cup. These beverage packaging concepts, by Peru-based art director Christian Rivera, shows LEGO versions of Jedis and Siths holding lightsabers.
What makes these seemingly ordinary soft drinks strong, is that the straws become an extension of the character’s weapons. Hopefully, we see these concepts in some capacity soon — so we can suck up some force.

Graphic artist and calligrapher, David Milan, has a new project for the brand-loyal typophiles out there.

Check out more below, and more of Milan’s work over on Instagram.
