Medical Magical

Here’s something you never thought of before. Labels that double up as band-aids. Two designers got together and observed that after you take a vaccine or a shot, instead of a band-aid or a cotton swab, you could just have the vaccine bottle label double up as not just a band-aid, but also as a tag that can let medical personnel know what injection you may have taken. The label comes in three layers, a protective upper film, the printed label, and the cushion pad. Just peel off the label from the vial and place it on the injected spot, cushion pad downwards.

Another neat feature is the printed label that disappears in a matter of time, leaving a complete white sticker when you need to take it off and dispose of it. Ingenious AND indicative!

Designers: Bang Dae-in, and Park Jin-kyeong.

Cable Labels: Mixed-Up Cables No More

Posted on by

Cable Labels

 

Tired of mixing up cables and turning on the switch to another line when you meant to switch on the one beside it? Well, this first-world problem is solved with these Cable Labels. As its name implies, these are labels that are meant to be attached to your cables for easy identification. Just write down what the cable connects to (for example, your TV, printer, speaker, etc.) and tack it onto the corresponding cable. Easy peasy.

The Cable Labels are available online for £7.50 (or about $12+.)

Superhero Beer Sadly Will Not Give You Powers

Posted on by

Brazilian artist Billy Butcher has created some really good looking superhero beer design concepts. The project is titled The Comic Book Super Drunk Hangout. This collection is all about a certain type of hero. Antiheroes, or not heroes at all.

You know, the ones that you would not want hanging around your kid. These are the guys who enjoy a beer or four and then would proceed to try to save the world and screw things up royally – a-holes like Wolverine, Deadpool and The Comedian.

I really like the labeling. It’s too bad we don’t have any real Superhero-endorsed beer. I would drink that. Check out more images at Billy’s Behance page.

Clothes Tag Get Braille!

Posted on by

How awesome and simple this can be; imagine there is a sizeable chunk of the population that is sight impaired. They do lead an independent life and do their own shopping, so on the next shopping spree they get information about the clothes they are about to buy, through the clothing tag! Simple wash instructions or textile details can me embossed in Braille for their convenience and I am sure it must a cost effective thing to do. Neat!

Braille Label is a 2012 iF Design Talents entry.

Amazon rumored clinching major labels for cloud music rights, iTunes Match feels the heat

Posted on by

Amazon Cloud Player

When we last checked in, Amazon was thought to finally be pushing for full music rights in its Cloud Drive and Cloud Player services. It might be a smooth operator at the negotiating table: subsequent tips to CNET maintain that the top four major labels (a currently-independent EMI as well as Sony, Universal and Warner) have all signed deals that will let Amazon offer the same scan-and-match music downloads and streaming as Apple's iTunes Match. The pacts would let Amazon offer access to every song a listener owns without having to directly upload each track that wasn't bought directly from Amazon MP3. Aside from closing a conspicuous gap, the deal could end a whole lot of acrimony from labels who were upset that Amazon preferred a free-but-limited service over having to charge anything. The online shop hasn't said anything official yet (if at all), but any signatures on the dotted line will leave Google Music as the odd man out.
