in a way I think e-pill's ire illustrates something quite pertinent in this context, that design for a lot of us graphics guys is a purely surface based thing, its what we most associate the term with when in fact the design process (certainly where it applies to a product or object like these bags) is a far deeper and more intrinsically collaborative affair which we tend to ignore unintentionally in our language. In this case it IS very relevant as the graphics should really be tool to promote and educate on the fundamentally sustainable nature of the manufacture and production of the bag itself. Points about its limited edition etc are relevant to this also.
on the original issue, I think there is a kind of saturation point we've reached with these cool graphic objects for cool graphically aware people that grates with some of us. It usually leaves me a bit cold, but I will admit that when its very very good, it still grabs me by the old consumerist trendoid goolies, mainly it dissnae though.
I'm now mentally tired. I hope you're pleased with yourself 'pill ;)
