I've recently forced myself to look into what Polaroid had been doing after I was let go, and it's quite a shock to see just how clever management was and the fun they had playing with package design as if it were a hobby like finger painting. What better place to find examples of their skills than by surfing eBay for photos of the products they introduced. So, with thanks to the good folks at eBay -- here are just a few of the many, many.
These are from Polaroid UK
Love that blue and orange, chaps. Well done.
Somebody saved some big bucks on this box printing.
There was even a Barbie Polaroid camera.
And a model for professionals in bright yellow just like carpenter's tools, so it wouldn't get lost on the work site.
This is the box it came in. The sales promotion gremlins have literally written all over the it. There isn't an inch of space that hasn't been contaminated. If you placed it in a dumpster full of trash, you would have a difficult time finding it. The mind can only boggle.
Once again, my thanks to eBay for the educational use of these photos.
Then I came upon this in the summer of 2011. The line above is priceless.
