Just recently, Happy Cog created a Web site called Redesign Mozilla. It gives the public a chance to view the design process for one of the most reputable companies on the internet, Mozilla. I find the experiment completely awesome, because people get to see inside of the designers mind, and get to interact with the designs Happy Cog is attempting to pitch (acting as sort of a public focus group).

As much as I talk about art that has such deep thought, I really think that some art shouldn't have any thought at all. In all honesty, as an artist, I think the worst thing you could say to me would be something along the lines of "me needing to stay inside my niche." Something magical happens when you don't think about what you are going to make, just have the vision, and engineer a way to create it.

It's old news by now, that Tropicana reverted back to their old packaging. But if you have been out of the loop for a couple of days or weeks, well then here is the down-low. Tropicana decided it was time for a change, and decided it would be best to push towards a clean package design and identity for the very well known orange juice. After much disappointment and customers calling the new packaging "generic," Tropicana quickly reverted back to the old package design before losing any more sales.

I think Dan probably said it best, Mozilla came to them and said they wanted something new and understood exactly what they want. Sometimes with clients, I would rather them not know exactly what they want, so I can give creative input better. But I think the outcome will be a well planned set of actions set forth by Mozilla. Can’t deny that! I’m excited to see the outcome.
