Six simple rules for dealing with clients

1. No matter how many design concepts you produce, the client will always attempt to combine their weakest elements.

2. Keep all emails down to two sentences – three or more and they won’t get read to the end.

3. Never ask two or more questions in an email – you’ll only get one answer.

4. Don’t expect clients to take your written payment terms as more than guidance.

5. If they ask for more it’s trivial. If you ask for more it’s prissy.

6. Any client that says “I could do this myself, but…” actually can’t, and they aren’t worth the hassle.

This Too Shall Pass (2012) by Tomorrow Machine

Independent packaging project for perishable goods:

Is it reasonable that it takes several years for a milk carton to decompose naturally, when the milk goes sour after a week? This Too Shall Pass is a series of food packaging were the packaging has the same short life-span as the foods they contain. The package and its content is working in symbiosis.

Smoothie package Gel of the agar agar seaweed and water are the only components used to make this package. To open it you pick the top. The package will wither at the same speed as its content. It is made for drinks that have a short life span and needs to be refrigerated, fresh juice, smoothies and cream for example. Rice Package Package made of biodegradable beeswax. To open it you peel it like a fruit. The package is designed to contain dry goods, for example grains and rice. Oil package A package made of caramelized sugar, coated with wax. To open it you crack it like an egg. When the material is cracked the wax no longer protects the sugar and the package melts when it comes in contact with water. This package is made for oil-based food.
