Stoutnik Beer Packaging by Hired Guns Creative
Competition for visibility on a West Coast craft beer shelf is fierce. Stoutnik’s frosted matte black bottle is immediately visible from a distance and printing techniques not usually seen on craft beer labels increase the differentiation even more. The constantly changing colours of the satellite-esque foil stamp draw the eye as the customer walks past. The stylish, sparse, contemporary design compels him to pick up the bottle. The story told in blind-embossed Morse Code seals the deal, propelling him from a state of curiosity towards a confirmed launch plan.

Shark Deterrent Wetsuits and Surfboards
Now there’s the Shark Attack Mitigation System, SAMS for short, which disrupts a shark’s visual perception, potentially saving surfers from being attacked. The concept is similar to that of Dazzle Camouflage, which makes is difficult to estimate a target’s range, speed and heading.
The Oceans Institute team headed by Professor Shaun Collin and Professor Nathan Hart has been studying shark vision for a number of years and is considered the world leading authority in the field. The team has made a number of significant scientific discoveries relating to shark sensory systems – including the fact that sharks see in black and white.
Although sharks use a number of senses to locate prey, it is known that vision is the crucial sense in the final stage of an attack. By disrupting a shark’s visual perception, an attack can either be diverted altogether or at least delayed to allow time to exit the water.
You can find the whole range of SAMS products by clicking here.

Self-illuminating Transparent Cruisers by Sunset Skateboards
Designers at Sunset Skateboards have created a line of transparent, light-up cruisers whose wheels illuminate with motion. The skateboards have transparent polycarbonate decks that come in a variety of vibrant colors and styles, including the ‘ghost’, a clear deck with white and red wheels, ‘the alien’, an all green machine, and the ‘princess’ which is pastel pink and blue.
The wheels are fitted with LED lights that are completely powered by the rolling motion — they will last for up to 100,000 hours of skateboarding and will never need batteries. the sturdy, high quality decks are made from water-clear polycarbonate, the same material used in bullet proof glass, with special UV inhibitors to help make it weather-proof. you can choose from one of sunset skateboard’s already made designs, or build your own custom wheeler — selecting your deck and truck colors as well as the palette for the four wheels individually.

Style is personal, fun is universal. That’s what you need to embrace before watching this film. Morohoshi-san is living between the lines, somewhere in that gray section. Mixing with the undesirables and modifying his Lamborghini in ways most of us would never dream of doing. His style is unique and questionable but one things for sure, he’s too busy having fun to care what you think! And that’s truly what makes him a cool character.
