Many people want to know if a real person was the original “Sun-Maid girl.” The answer is “Yes,” and her name was Lorraine Collett Petersen. In May 1915, she was discovered drying her black hair curls in the sunny backyard of her parents’ home in Fresno, California. She was then asked to pose for a painting while holding a basket tray of fresh grapes. This striking image was first applied to packages of Sun-Maid raisins in 1916. Over the years, this image has been seen on millions and millions of packages and has been taken into homes throughout the world.
The treasured original watercolor painting is today kept safely in a concrete vault at Sun-Maid’s headquarters in Kingsburg, California.
Sometimes we forget that in 1915 there were no electric hair dryers, that television would not be invented for decades to come, and that automobiles were not in every home. Life was much simpler, more rural, a lot less hectic and sunbonnets were still part of women’s fashion in California.
Minimalist juice packaging for BluePrintJuice, designed by Doubleday and Cartwright.
“This is some of the most honest and beautiful packaging I’ve encountered in a while… The entire label is simply a list of plain ingredients printed in a color that contrasts with the juice inside.” (Christopher Jobson)

This should be how everything is packaged.
I love everything about this.
Love the packaging, but I’m still not sure if I should buy into this trend of blending a smorgasbord of fruits/veggies into an expensive little bottle of juice.
When did Kool-Aid packaging become so slick!?

Good news: Heinz just released an awesome dual-action ketchup packet design, the first innovation in ketchup packet design since introduction in 1968.
Bad news: Heinz doesn’t have a contract with McD (although it does with BK and Wendy’s).
