Sofi Bath Bombs
Beautifully designed bath product incorporating gold foil, unique typography, and a handmade print quality.
“SOFI, a small family production of organic handmade cosmetics, is a client Popular Bruketa & Žinic OM has already worked with, first on defining the visual identity, and afterwards on designing the packaging for soaps and gift packages. Emphasizing the manual production, the quality of the resources as well as of the final products, is something they tended to keep in mind while designing the new packaging for Bath Bombs.
They created the design for the line of products so that each of them is differentiated from the rest, by adding a separate initial of its name. Having done so, they managed to maintain a strong visual identity of the whole category of products, as well as to create a distinctive graphical element to ensure that new packages are noticeable in sales points, which was one of the client’s requests.
In addition to the previous, this way of typography usage in creating packaging design is not so common within the Serbian market, which makes it more differentiated when it comes to competition. While creating the typography characters, Popular Bruketa & Žinic OM have tried to add a particular handmade touch to it, which is a characteristic of the entire range of SOFI organic products.”

Did you know that the average dollar bill is so hard-working, it has a lifespan of only about 18 months? In today’s history page, we bring you the long, winding story of American money.
What our early $1 bills lacked in utility, they made up for in color and dramatic graphics. The Bank of Germantown in Philadelphia, for example, released an orange-and-black $1 bill that depicted a group of sailors in a small boat trying to fight off the advances of a polar bear. Other mid-19th-century local bank notes bore portraits of mythological figures, children or even Santa Claus. There was still no national currency when the Civil War broke out in 1861, so Congress approved the issue of $150 million in national “demand notes.” These came in denominations of $5, $10 and $20, and the U.S. government used them to pay for war expenses and the salaries of military personnel. Union bills had distinctive green ink on their reverse side (which contrasted sharply with Confederate currency’s blank reverse side) — and they became popularly known as “greenbacks.”
