icky ink


i ordered some replacement ink cartriges online for my printer and they came in these pathetic paper packages. it looks a lot worse in person, but the type is just plane, predictable, and the overall look is boring. i wasn't too sure if i could trust the place i bought it from because they were a discount no-name ink comany, and when they came in these boxes, it wasn't very reassuring. i just think they could use the help of a professional package designer. at leaste a few tips...

yeah that could definitely use some help....i look at and i think of the 80s?...not sure why, but it's just not visually interesting or pleasing...then again it is computer ink...

it looks outdated to me since i am so used to seeing canon and inkjet packaging that is bright and vibrant, not dull like the example here. but in a way im sure they aren't too concerned with the packaging on their ink because you have to buy whatever works with your printer, so there arent very many options for you and not much competition for them.

I really hate that they put a picture of an ink cartridge on the front, I mean ink cartridges arent that good looking and its a little too obvious.

A very plain design here...way too basic with the color scheme and type faces used also
