Here’s to the new section called “Quick Snaps” This one didn’t get to come with me. 12″ LP album cover for the American Male Vocal Band Quartet, Four Freshmen. Loved the color overlays and composition. It looks very Max Huber.

Here’s an awesome packaging designed by Paul Rand that I found the other day. I’ve seen some of this on his website but definitely not in hot pink. It’s very cool, it has a slip cover and the inside has graphics too (see bottom image). So clean.
It is an honor to have these photos now featured on www.paul-rand.com

Here’s one hell of a box made for Rexall Drug Co. Very few words to describe it. Modern and simplicity. That’s it. One of my favorites here. And of course the awesome look of old printed matter.
Rexall was a chain of North American drugstores, and the name of their store-branded products. More info on wikipedia »
Here’s another water bottle box from Rexall that I found on Flickr »
