Honorable Mention
Title：	Expiry Date / The Things Far Away Beyond Numbers
Concept:	Concerns to the pictorial food preservation deadline. Food going expired is a kind of romantic natural cycle. For years, we abide by the conducts of numbers and symbols telling us what to eat or not to eat. However, these cold descriptions are far away from the natural life experiences we are acquainted with. So people are still not so used to the expiry date that has been widely used around the world for thirty to forty years. The most obviouGender:ample is ￣ we wake up in the morning not knowing what date it is, the row of numbers on the milk bottle reflecting into the eyes, but there's only a whole blank appear in mind. The date number is nothing but a dogmatize self_limitation. Food derives from nature that has an individual life experience. It can never be fully illustrated by the numbers. Therefore, I transform the thought of milk becoming cheese into the language of products, in order to express the process that food returns gradually to the nature.
Judge's Comments:	I grasp the idea of using changes in the package's color to make it easier to visually check the expiration date, but there are many problems in applying this to actual products. Disadvantages that come to mind include the cost of manufacturing the packaging and an increase in unsold goods. Further reconsideration is needed regarding whether or not the design is suitable for packaging milk and what the intended goals are.
