The Rise and Fall of the Nintendo Wii
Posted by – November 26, 2009
An interesting article about the waning interest in Nintendo Wii. The Wii has shown decreased sales figures recently. The major reason the writer puts forward for this is that the console was designed to be used by a wide range of demographics. As a result the operating system was very simple and the level of complexity in the available games was relatively low. This turned the console into a fad that sold because of its gimmickry rather than its quality.

Is Coca-Cola going green?
Posted by – November 24, 2009
Unfortunately not. This is a conceptual packaging design by Ryan Yoon and Harc Lee where the Coca-Cola can is revisioned to have no colour. The impulse behind the design is to eliminate the energy expenditure and the use of toxic colours in the colouring process. The brand logo being pressed into the surface of the can is a clever and sophisticated green alternative. If only Coca-Cola cared about the environment.
