Our biggest challenge was to create an attractive book that deals with numerous charts, graphs and technical information all related to one issue, money. The objective was to give the content of the book an attractive and playful look, where the information is read easily and the viewer does not feel overwhelmed with data.
The "Agencia Regional de Recaudación" is a small part of the Treasury office of Murcia. The Treasury office deals with contributors money, and at the end of each year needs to make its accounts public. They needed a small book that complied all there accounts, and at the same time captivated people to read it.
We created our very own piggy bank where the book was concealed inside. This meant that our target audience had to break open the piggy bank to see the book and hence see how the year had turned out money wise.

This new start-up business, from Portland, Oregon, sells a very funky origami-like wallet made of discarded milk and juice cartons.
We previous seen foil cartons turned into totebags and handbags, as well as food wrappers become purses and shoulder bags. So the idea isn’t totally new. But the socially and environmentally responsible business model behind Milkmuny may just be the creme de la creme, so to speak.
Milkmuny is the brainchild of Portland based industrial designer, John Schreiber. Milkmuny pays money for collected cartons to charities, schools and groups who need fundraising capital. It washes them and via a bit of clever folding and fabrication engineers a couple of designs for multi-pocketed wallets. These are sold for about $10 bucks. A portion of the sale finds its way to 1% for the planet. -
