3 years with WebHostingBuzz Posted: 06 Feb 2014 04:46 AM PST It’s been almost 3 years since we moved Designer Daily from Dreamhost to WebHostingBuzz. The main change was an instant rise in traffic in the month following the move (July 2011), the traffic nearly doubled. To be fair, these traffic changes were mostly due to getting more powerful servers, but the response time also got much quicker. The main advantage with WebHostingBuzz is that they are a human-sized hosting company, which means that you can get much better support than anywhere else. So far I never had to wait more than one hour to get a reply, I can’t promise they are always that quick but I know that their support won’t fail to help you out. Many designers and developers make this mistake, they choose their hosting based on pricing only. While WebHostingBuzz’s prices are reasonable (I’d even say cheap), they are not the cheapest on the market. However, their servers are usually faster and their support is way ahead of the competition. This means that if you get hacked or get in some other kind of trouble, you’ll get your money back, thanks to WebHostingBuzz’s great support. For web designers, you’ll probably be more interested with their reseller hosting (it has some great promotions right now).

The best of chocolate packaging design Posted: 04 Feb 2014 09:59 PM PST If you are like me, you buy your chocolate based on its packaging. That’s why designing great packages is so important for chocolate companies. In this post you’ll discover some awesome chocolate packaging. Many of these are just concepts, but they are still great inspiration for designers. 1. Melt Packaging and logo design for a fictional gourmet chocolate shop. The characteristics of melted chocolate are used throughout, providing a tantalizing glimpse at the wonderfulness contained within. Created by JJAAKK Design. 2. Marou Special edition packaging for Marou “Faiseurs de chocolat”. Created by Rice Creative in Vietnam. 3. Chess chocolate As a chocolate and chess fan, I approve this box’s packaging. There should be a rule where you can eat the opponent’s pieces once you catch it. 4. Hotel chocolate A fun reinterpretation of the chocolate box made by a student, Lun Yau. I would empty those hotels pretty quickly though. 5. St. Gallen chocolate Another concept packaging. This one mixes Swiss-style graphic design with great use of colors to indicate the flavors of the chocolate. The best design trick is probably the use of the Swiss cross as a plus sign. 6. Dallmayr Packages that look like envelopes, a nice way to suggest that these chocolate packaging are a good gift. However, the best part is the product itself, a chocolate that looks just gorgeous and well designed. 7. Yellow chocolate Chocolate packaging created for the Yellow pages, made me think of the Yellowsubmarine movie designs. 8. Elisabeth & Kate Another school project that uses calligraphy and a subtle color scheme to create some elegant chocolate packaging. 9. Hansel chocolate A more standard, but very well designed package for these chocolates. Via Packaging of the World. 10. Henrik Konnerup Chocolates Awesome chocolates designed in cooperation with chocolate artist Henrik Konnerup.
