For all of its obvious benefits like saving money and minimizing waste, bringing lunch to work or school is easier said than done. Granted, I could definitely be better about making the time to meal prep the night before, but I find the real barrier to bringing lunch is its lack of aesthetic appeal. Let’s face it, most lunch boxes are bulky, come in unflattering prints and colors, and are generally pretty awkward to carry around – except these.

Edible Lego blocks aside, licorice allsorts feature some of the candy industry’s most architectural forms. Many allsorts stack together multiple layers of licorice and fondant to create miniature, multi-coloured sandwiches, while others wrap tiny tubes in contrasting coatings to form sugary pilotis. The candy’s more fruit-forward cousin, funsorts , are even more post-modern in appearance.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

As an avid amateur mycophile, discovering mushrooms in and around our forests near or far has always offered the satisfaction of a real-life Pokemon game. While we aspire to “collect them all,” the pursuit is driven more by the possibility of discovery and opportunity to photograph our fungal friends rather than any desires motivated by edibility (some of the weirdest mushrooms are unsurprisingly inedible, or at best, not choice in flavor or texture).

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
