Goose Bump Inducing Design
August 12th, 2009I love great design. It does something to me that I can’t explain. It takes a normal product and makes it extraordinary, it takes the mundane and turns it into something that makes me stand up and clap, at least on the inside.
Recently I was walking through the grocery store when something caught my eye. It was a bottle of soap, but not just any bottle of hand soap my friends, it was the most gorgeous bottle of soap I’d ever laid eyes on. “Oh wow!” I exclaimed to my wife, “Maggie, look at this bottle of soap! Have you ever seen anything so elegant? Now this is great design, whoever created this was on a mission.” Check it out, I think you’ll agree.
I purchased this soap and I will continue to purchase it. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive than your average bar of Dial but I’m willing to pay a premium for something that makes me smile, makes me stare, something that gives me goose bumps.
In a world where thousands of average products are rolled out daily, design can be the thing that separates you from the pack.

“Yes!”
The reason I love great marketing isn’t even so much that it bolsters business. I love it so much because I think, “Yes! This is a company that gives a shit about life!” Excellence is a beautiful thing. A true component of Godliness.

Totally agree man. Great design says “We care.”
