Artbox Bag- Contemporary Design

This is a bag that I got from my sister from an Artbox store. Most would find it strange that I receive simply a bag from an obviously creative and prosperous store, instead of a gift, but I’m perfectly happy with this arrangement. After all I would not have known they were so affluent if they had not designed so boisterous a bag as this. I’ve never been to the store and I want to go, just by looking at this bag.

No doubt the function of this bag is to hold supplies from the art store while subtly (or in my case, not so subtly) pull artists towards the owner and start asking those pesky questions as to where they purchased such quality items in such a fun plastic bag.

What makes this bag so attractive to artists especially is the unconstrained bouncy cartoon figures all across the page. Overall it gives a sense of whimsical improve that can’t be experienced in the tight, orderly struggle in everyday life. This bag is saying ‘we are breaking loose and letting our kooky behavior run a muck and we are happy about it’. It sells you on the idea that that store will provide you items or purchases to allow you to do your own bidding. It’s your world, so do as you please.

I’ve never used this eccentric yet trendy bag but I’m still going to hang onto it of course.

So this is obviously a good example of graphic design. They sell me with a thin sheet of plastic. One look and I’m sold.
