Good morning from Dieline’s editor-in-chief, Bill McCool. Here’s your daily side serving of design news, short musings, brand stuff, and forgotten ephemera.
New nightmare fuel! This designer made a tote bag that turns into a life jacket. You know, just in case the NYC Subway floods and you’re trapped in a tunnel full of water.
Creative Boom just switched me on to Clara Biel. Lovely, colorful stuff.
Chef Daniel Humm just launched an insta-meal kit called Riff, with packaging by Center. Banner era for celeb chef brands.
Nathan Fielder and Alex Gibney are hoovering up much of this fall’s doc energy, but I’m more stoked about The History of Concrete. It’s Nice That interviewed John Wilson about the movie, and I am fully stoked.
The way my stomach turns when I see an NA Beer-flavored C4 with zero sugar.
I love charging $15 for juice that comes in a bottle with lead paint. Nice job, Erewhon!
JKR completely overhauled Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Love that palm tree!
Patti “I can’t stop having wine“ Harrison appreciation post, as she just played every sociopathic billionaire for Wired.
Man, you know people absolutely detest streaming when actual IRL video stores are coming back with a vengeance. Here’s a new one in Philly opening soon called Little Movie Store.
Have a totally Tuesday.
