While many laughed at me initially on this site and I am sure to be banned again for "self promotion"... This is a legitimate offer to any designer that is new, established, or looking to help truly build something... I have been working on packaging design for nearly 3 years now - we are finally at a stage where we have a full service vendor, prototypes, potential clients, partners and funding. I built this all from scratch and am looking for help.
I had worked 10+ years building other people's visions... I decided to build my own vision and have found a niche. We have had general interest from several industries including footwear, luxury goods, electronics and food and spirit companies. In addition, we have one or two partners that are former NBA players... If you are legit, if you have skills, dedication and passion - I want to work with you. Looking for people with skills in networking, 3D design (I do my own renders) and web design - need to build a company website.

One of my partners is a former NBA hall of famer, I will not name names, but we are building something and it will be special. Email me if you seriously want to help.

This includes monospaced... I have poured my heart and soul and life savings into this. I'm not "f'ing" around...
- I heard the call. Thanks for considering me the 1% of good designers here. Let's do this. Look out for a fax.monospaced

It's all good... I'm only looking for 1 or 2 good designers... The image above is a perfect metaphor for what QBN is, 99% crap, 1% treasure. We are trying to create retail design packaging, and luxury packaging people will actually keep and re-use. Sadly, you don't have the vision for what we are trying to do - I understand, but appreciate the time spent on posting that lovely image.

Wohooo box-boy you just saved my shitty soul crushing friday. My job makes me feel stagnant and uninspired, and watching your work makes me feel like a fuckin' genious.

Do your overly elaborate and ultimately pointless shoe boxes increase the cost of the shoes by much?
- Not when luxury shoes cost $1,200+ dollars >>> my box cost a few bucks mass produced >>> https://www.ssense.c…obey_pdx
- Ah, so it's for cunts that pay $1,200 for shoes. Ok, as you were...set

Tell us more about your box and how revolutionary it is. The last pair of trainers (sneakers) I bought came in a cardboard box with a lid. BOOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG

What is on offer here?
Are you looking for paidlancers or partners with a percentage of the company?

Facts, something some people use to measure the validity of an idea...
1.) My first order from Adidas was for 500 boxes with a budget of $100 per box. We made nearly $10,000 and had an order valued at over $50k. It was for the "hater boot", if you'd like a shoebox or you are slightly curious, send me your address via email and I will send you one of my shoeboxes for free - no questions asked. Monospace, what's your addy? >>>
2.) My idea is "timeless", there will always be a need for shoe packaging. As you reinforced above - it's the same old shit, time and time again - that crappy cardboard box that cost 25 cents... That is my enemy, that is what I am trying to destroy. That is where my traction grows - the old tired ideas that my work is kicking up dust.
3.) Networking - working on odd projects like handled shoeboxes has opened the door to so many new partners and clients I never considered a possibility. I worked with former NBA Jonathan Bender (Indiana Pacer/New York Knick) for 1.5 years on various logos and projects - this all came from him liking my design >>> http://chrisdarmon.com/Logos-Vol…
You'd be amazed at the number of high profile clients we have pitched too.
4.) You can post animated gifs, but at the end of the day - people willing to take risks, people that see potential will write me... Perhaps that might be you reading this now. If you want to help create something - here's your chance. :)
