Mic’s Chill (an Irish chilli sauce company) has again employed illustrator Steve Simpson to create some more packaging for there sauces. What i specifically like is how Steve has even illustrated the barcode. Really great branding and illustration here.

~ Design Tackles Dementia
There are a wonderful set of videos here on the CR Blog on ways to tackle the issue of dementia, Each one is very creative and does tackle an issue of the illness. My favourites are allowing a dog to act as an anchor to the person with dementia so that they do not forget daily routines. The dog also allows the person to travel out of their home without the worry of something happening, as the dog is trained and capable. The buddi band also intrigued me, in essence its just a simple band with a panic button. However, when you couple this band with the 24/7 monitoring office and the ability for that office to contact emergency contacts or the emergency services, you can imagine the use it would be.
