Quotes that make you smile.

A smile confuses an approaching frown

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight


The world always looks brighter from behind a smile


A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~Mark Twain

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief. ~William Shakespeare

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home.
 

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.

Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it

Everyone smiles in the same language

If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine

Smiling is infectious,
You can catch it like the flu.
Someone smiled at me today,
And I started smiling too.


A laugh is a smile that bursts. ~Mary H. Waldrip

Smile - sunshine is good for your teeth

Smiling is my favorite exercise


I have a tickle in my brain. And it keeps making the corners of my mouth point toward the heavens. ~Jeb Dickerson

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword. ~Charles Reade

You're never fully dressed without a smile


It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown

Smile - it increases your face value

Feel Good Drinks - Packaging


Although we are only promoting the small still and sparking drinks i have looked at the larger glass bottle designs, they look so tasty and refreshing. This design is a follow up from the original designs, fruit imagery has been given centre place on the bottle instead of the character. The fruit and bubbles show the sparkling fiz to the drink. I feel the individual images shown below just make you want to drink them, the designer has really captured the refreshing, juicy qualities. I think me and my partner can use this new aspect in our work, as many things i have looked at so far have been quite crafty, this design seems more grown up and posh.

Feel Good Drinks - Advertising.

These images are similar to an idea i had for the Feel Good Brief we are doing, however my idea was to use imagery of what makes people feel good, and missing them all together with different shapes, pattern and line.

Feel Good Drinks - Packaging


Feel good drinks set out a strategy to launch feel good drinks packaging and logo to promote the feel good taste and benefits of a vitamin drink. They wanted to promote the drinks as a healthy alternative to other energy drinks on the market. For them to be visually engaging, dynamic, life loving and energetic to promote the brands ethos 'live life, laugh lots and feel good.'
The idea was enjoying and celebrating 'feel good moments' the concept created was a character illustration at the centre of the bottle, named Felix who through the positions he expresses shows the functional benefits of the drinks.

Some interesting questions and answers found on the website.

Where does the fruit come from?

We source our fruit from all over the world, so wherever we can find the best tasting, juiciest fruit, that's where we'll go. Of course, fruit is seasonal too, so we get our fruit from different places at different times of the year.

Do you use any artificial nasties or sugar in your drinks?

No, we don't use any artificial flavours, colours or preservatives in our drinks and we never will. As I'm sure you will have noticed by now, all our drinks are packed full of natural fruity goodness!! We don't add any sugar to any of our drinks either, instead the sweetness in our drinks comes entirely from fruit. We think this is better and we know lots of you do too!

Are your drinks ok for vegetarians, vegans & celiacs?

Good news - Yes!

And diabetics too?

Our drinks are sweetened using fruit extracts and natural juice, with absolutely no added sugar hidden in there! We suggest that diabetics read the nutritional information on the back labels when considering Feel Good Drinks as part of their diet. After all, if you are diabetic you're the best person to decide what you should drink and how often.

Do your drinks contain citric acid?

No.

Why are your drinks more expensive than some other soft drinks?

Feel Good Drinks are gorgeous, premium products made from the finest quality, natural ingredients. They're full of fruity feelgoodness with no added sugar and absolutely no artificial colourings, flavours or sweeteners. As such they do cost a little more than some other drinks which use lower quality or artificial ingredients, we're told however that the great taste is worth paying a little more for!

Will your drinks make me Feel Good?

It depends how bad a day you are having. We can help, but we can't work miracles.


Feel Good Drinks - Making a difference.






Feel good drinks dont just make people 'feel good' through drinking their drink, their are also actively trying to make people feel good in the environment. You would never imagine a drinks company would be involved in such beneficial things that help people and the environment every day. They have stuck to the quirky fun outlook on life that they give with the drink and use this in helping others, for example they hold feel goodness days raising money for Macmillan cancer research by making lots of cakes and coffee. Another example is they all get 5 extra days of a year so they have all decided to volunteer, one of the days they helped clean up the River Themes. Above i have shown that they help plant trees, i think they are doing some really fun stuff but yet again no-one really knows so this is another aspect of showing people and raising more awareness.

Feel Good Drinks

This is from a collaboration brief, feel good drinks took part in they supplied gallery visitors with free tasters of feel good drinks and in return they good see interesting pieces of work feeling refreshed. The one above they found really inspirational and wanted to share with people on their website. I agree all of the images show on the video really are beautiful places and you just know if you were there you would feel good! they have tried to bring a little extra goodness to us

Feel Good Drinks - The website





Another place on the website were they are getting people involved, here people are creating new drink flavors and you can vote on which you think is the best flavor.


They are actively trying to get you involved with there website, below you can see i have joined to be a friend it just draws you in and makes you feel so welcome, this would be a really strong aspect of our work if we can solve the problems presented in the brief.


I have to say i love this website, well i love the images used on the website and i love the small quirky things about it like the way they present information and the way you navigate around these informational pages. The imagery used gives me so many ideas, i love how hand crafted it looks and really makes me want to cut out fun shapes in felt. Even the images used are feel good images each time you open a new page you smile, it is most definitely not boring :)


They even have a section for children where they can get involved by drawing and submitting their image to the website so people can see.
