Tuwi design - all forms of design

Part of the globe has now reached the summer. For all those designers interested not only to enjoy a good ice cream but also to appreciate a beautiful package, we have prepared this fresh collection.
The ice cream, like many other products, differs its image depending on the target to which it is addressed.
See eg the Gü Ice Cream and its beautiful packaging, designed as if it were to contain a truly valuable object.
This seems to be looks the direction that many companies are taking on the ice cream packaging design. The manufacturer of magnum, one of the largest world corporations in this field, has chosen for magnum a golden package which seems to remember the colors of the Veuve Clicquot champagne packaging, which we have analyzed here a little while ago on tuwidesign. Champagne and ice cream … a nice couple!

Today we have selected for you the best websites of the most important international night clubs.
Major events organized by these clubs with the most important world djs require a great effort, both economically and in terms of communication. The focus is therefore for these clubs to be at the forefront in everything that is communication. Website for this club is a showcase to the world just like any company. Until a few years ago night clubs websites were rarely updated, forgotten soon after their creation … A showcase, empty! There is entrusted to other channels of communication, now something has changed. The era of the flyer distributed in the streets or beaches is probably over. Now this channel is replaced or, in some cases, supplemented by communication via the internet. Printing thousands of flyers to advertise a single event begins to be regarded negatively in several respects: it has no potential communication that has instead the word of mouth of an event on a social network, it is much more expensive for target ads made on the web and, often, from an ecological point of view, it is a waste of paper that accumulates in the streets of major cities.
Ways of communicating are changing then! The best way to observe these changes is to stay in the middle of them where the changes occur, and the world of night life is certainly one of these places.
we will return again and deepen further the issue of advertising paper vs the use of the Web so… stay tuned on tuwidesign and enjoy this gallery of website design!

Tuwidesign was applied for a printing t-shirt project about a Summer Festival Event.

Our responsibility for the project is to provide two models of t-shirt:
- one model is for people working for the event;
- second one should be designed for selling it.

As Daniel says in his article, t-shirt printing is becoming more and more a great way for communicate your brand, your belonging to a group (tribal marketing concept) and it is considered as a universal symbol expecially for warmer season! Nevertheless, if the printing t-shirt project comes off in a bad way, your brand could be put in a bad light  in front of your customers, so it is needed to pay a great attention in order to develop and get a key advantage in relation to your competitors.

Here there are some tips from Daniel, that Tuwidesign surely will follow…
