Sad, really.
Australia's plain-packaging tobacco law has earned the federal government a nomination in a prestigious international design award.
See Plain pack of smokes gets design nod.
I wonder what designers have to say about this. After all, if standardised packaging of tobacco is introduced worldwide a lot of designers will lose work.
And what happens if plain packaging is extended to alcohol and other 'unhealthy' products? Do you think the Design Museum has really thought this through?
For the full list of categories and nominations visit Designs of the Year 2013. Winners will be announced in April. Can't wait.
