Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates are co-listing the property with Marc Bretter of Maywood Property Group. "Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel," the 33-year-old musician told AD. "It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong." The second jewel of the great room is a monumental iteration of Lobmeyr’s iconic Metropolitan chandelier, originally designed by Hans Harald Rath for the Viennese maker to decorate the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in 1963. With more than 20,000 pieces of hand-cut Swarovski crystal, the dazzling light sculpture is the second largest installation of its kind in the world.

What’s most impressive about “Like That,” though, beyond its sheer impact, is how effective Kendrick is in so few bars. He wastes no time to refute the Big 3 label, shit on Drake’s affinity for Michael Jackson with a clever bar about Prince, and make it clear that he wants all the smoke. Metro Boomin finding a way to say “fuck you” to Drake through the club-friendly production also helps make the case for “Like That,” a song that’s been sitting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks.

J. Cole, “7 Minute Drill”

On the television show Degrassi, he played a rapper and in 2006 he released his first mixtape Room for Improvement. For all intents and purposes we are going to end this epic petty battle right now and say that, yes,  he is considered a rapper. We’re pretty sure it’s safe to say he can definitely go from #realquick. In June 2022, Drake decided it was time for a change and ended up actually selling his infamous YOLO estate for $12 million.

On the nearly four-minute song, Drake uses AI technology to make it sound like Tupac and Snoop Dogg are pleading with Kendrick to respond to the OVO rapper and protect west coast rap’s legacy. After AI Tupac and AI Snoop finish their verses, Drake comes in and lays an impressive verse himself, calling Dot a coward for not dropping yet. And he does it all over a beat that sounds like it could be found by searching “West Coast type beat” on YouTube (likely by design).

As this spacious living room proves, two fireplaces and seating areas are better than one. To top off an already-appealing party room, this space has the perfect line of sight to downtown Los Angeles. Previous coverage reported that the master suite alone is twice the size of a regular apartment and features two covered decks, a hot tub, a dressing room, a kitchenette, and a steam shower, among other things. The rapper’s home comes with a rather unique toilet that plays soothing music to relax you while you, ahem, do your business. Not to mention it projects colorful lights and the lid lifts automatically, so even going to the bathroom can be quite the experience. Drake also gave fans a glimpse of his mega kitchen, which boasts an opulent marble island and rows of navy blue chairs for his guests to casually dine at.

The blockbuster deal marked the end of a year-long house hunt that saw the rapper make his first move into the Los Angeles area. While not as extravagant and ostentatious as his 50,000-square-foot contemporary Toronto home, which he custom built, this L.A. There’s a distinct California aesthetic with rare marbles, light wood floors, arched ceilings, and large windows in each room. The mansion also boasts a one-of-a-kind concert grand piano, an awards room, and a state-of-the-art recording studio. The "modern Art Deco" house — designed by Ferris Rafauli, who referred to it as "the Embassy" — was a custom creation commissioned by Drake and built from the ground up with seemingly endless over-the-top amenities.

And it's dragged in everyone from pop A-listers Taylor Swift and The Weeknd, to AI constructions of 2Pac and Snoop Dogg. Architecture firm KAA Design Group and features dramatic Tuscan style with pillars and stone touching up the ivy-strewn exterior. Drake closes AI Pac’s verse by questioning Kendrick’s “boogeyman” persona (a reputation he’s earned for leaving other artists in fear of stepping to him) before passing the verse to AI Snoop.

And then of course, there’s the cover artwork, which looks like a photoshopped photo of Drake as a white man, but is, in fact, a real photograph. Good old-fashioned shit-talking is the foundation of any good diss track, and Rick Ross is a hall-of-famer when it comes to that. Built in 2001, the mansion and guests houses boasts 10 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms and 24,000-plus square feet of living space in total.

Here’s a breakdown of each verse in “Taylor Made Freestyle” and an explanation of what it all means. Drake just made an insane chess move in his rap war with Kendrick Lamar by using artificial intelligence to pit two of Dot’s idols, Tupac and Snoop Dogg, against him. While they don't explicitly identify Mr. Graham as the owner of this property, it's a wide open secret — one that the real estate team isn't necessarily shy about. One of the many celebrity-approved amenities this home has to offer is a full-size tennis court. Drake has never shied away from rapping about food—seriously—so we bet he loved this gourmet kitchen, which boasts stainless appliances, marble countertops, and two islands. The two songs, each a tribute to a different artist (Jay-Z for the first, Eminem for the latter), had very different settings, with the Chicago Freestyle part being actually set in Drake’s hometown of Toronto, and seeing the rapper drive out of his actual home.

In the wake of the Like That bombshell, everyone wondered when Drake would fire back. Aside from some testy stage banter on tour, the first real response came not from Drake but Cole. On March 22, producer Metro Boomin and rapper Future (both previous collaborators of Drake's) released We Don't Trust You — the first in a pair of collaborative albums. The resurgence of Drake and Lamar's long-running feud started when Lamar dropped a pointed verse on his chart-topping single Like That. Diddy wants to dismiss some of the claims in one of his sexual assault cases ... Claiming he can't be sued under laws that didn’t even exist at the time of the alleged incident.

The two other homes up for grabs are a 3,600-square-foot ranch listed at $4.5 million and a 2,500-square-foot ranch listed at $2.9 million. Both are a bit more relaxed than Drake’s main mansion; the larger one comes with an 800-square-foot guesthouse, and the smaller one comes with two acres of land dotted with pines, sycamore, pomegranate, citrus and pepper trees. A Midwestern boy at heart, he was raised in St. Louis and studied journalism at the University of Missouri. Before joining The Times as an intern in 2017, he wrote for the Columbia Missourian and Politico Europe.

The grand living spaces are filled with natural light thanks to nearly floor to ceiling curved windows and light wood floors. There’s also a cozy library with built-in cabinets and a fireplace and arched French windows, plus a formal dining room, gourmet kitchen with a breakfast room, and two family rooms. The resort-style home looks plucked out of the Tuscan countryside with lush landscaping, including an orchard, mature olive trees, ancient oaks, and manicured lawns. There are also incredible city, ocean, and mountain views from nearly every inch of the property. There is a circular motor court with water fountains and a grand columned entryway that welcomes you into the home.

Well, the next logical step is for Lamar to respond with his own diss track. Purists will swear black and blue he's capable of rapping circles around Drake, and, of course, Drizzy diehards believe the opposite. Drake is such an indomitable force in rap that it takes a whole army of foes to join forces and make a coordinated effort just to attack him, and even then, he still finds a way to fire back against them all. There have already been half a dozen diss songs in the rap war between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and more.

While people questioned the authenticity of the romance, one thing is for certain and that’s the rapper’s love of the film, directed by Sean Baker. It made its music video debut in ‘Toosie Slide.’ The property is in Bridle Path, one of the city’s most well-to-do neighborhoods and reportedly cost the star $6.7 million. The Hidden Hills property, which Hugh Hefner previously owned, is a bachelor’s dream, The Daily Mail reports.

For the last year, Drake has been scouring the Southern California real estate market for a new home, and it appears he has found one. Obviously, Ross' home is still an unbelievable property, with a private zoo and farm sprawling across 300 acres of land making it a wonderland of its own. After keeping it in his real estate portfolio for a solid decade (and undoubtedly some amazing parties), Drake has listed the home through celebrity realtor duo Rayni and Branden Williams. "I was like, 'What are the world's craziest residential pools?' and when I searched online, this came up ... This house was the desktop image on my computer years before I bought it," said the artist to Rolling Stone in a 2014 profile.

“The bedroom is where I come to decompress from the world at the end of the night and where I open my eyes to seize the day,” he told AD. In tune with the maximalist décor, huge chandeliers adorn the ceilings — but don’t think for a second that they’re limited to the living areas. In fact, the stairs (uniquely made out of suspended cantilevered block marble) are peppered with striking chandeliers that create a dazzling effect. Even Prince bought a home here back in 2001, after marrying Toronto native Manuela Testolini.

The true pièce de résistance, however, is that sexy grotto spa cave pool area, chiefly on account of the fact that it is — as the realtors put it — "surrounded by TVs to watch the big game or enjoy a float-in movie." The realtors say that the 12,500-square-foot home boasts a "perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience." With a marble bathtub, skylight and picture windows, the ensuite bathroom is pure opulence. The oversized primary suite has a retractable wall that opens to a private patio, complete with vista views.

The reality is, we're dealing with two music titans coming at this with very different approaches. They're in the same sporting arena but playing completely different ball games. The verse not only set the internet ablaze with chatter but saw Like That debut at number one on the US charts. The track even managed to keep songs from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter from reaching the top spot the following week, and has now spent three weeks in pole position. Drake, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, has released six studio albums and seven mixtapes since 2006. One of the bestselling modern artists, he’s sold more than 170 million records en route to four Grammy Awards and also founded the Toronto record label OVO Sound in 2012.

How did Kendrick Lamar respond?

The song was previewed in full exclusively through Drake’s Instagram on April 19, 2024, after he had officially dropped his first diss track “Push Ups” earlier in the day. During the song, Drake prominently uses vocals modulated through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) software to emulate the voices of legendary West Coast rappers Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. The price tag is a reflection of the prized property’s rare combination of size and scale, which is unmatched in the Beverly Hills Post Office area. The trophy estate spans 20,000 square feet on more than 20 acres; for reference, there is no other home on the market in the ZIP Code with even close to that much land. Make no mistake, Kendrick Lamar will respond to Drake—it’s just a matter of when. Nas waited three months after Jay-Z dropped “Takeover” in Sept. 2001 before he released “Ether” in December of that year.

Statues line a custom swimming pool complete with cascading waterfalls and an 80-foot rock waterslide. Lawns, gardens and a mosaic-tile swimming pool overlook the city out back, and paths descend to a tennis court and orchard. The impressive estate is the priciest property up for grabs in the ZIP Code due to its rare combination of size and scale. The house itself spans more than 24,000 square feet, and the property covers roughly 20 acres — more than double the acreage of any other house on the market in the area. If Drake gets his price, it’ll be Southern California’s most expensive home sale so far this year and a shot in the arm for L.A.’s lagging luxury real estate market, which has slowed significantly since Measure ULA went into effect in April, bringing a hefty transfer tax to L.A.

Of particular note is the sprawling primary suite, which has its own deep private terrace overlooking the backyard, pool, and views. The ensuite bathroom has an entire living room, a massive closet, dressing room, vanity, and a grand marble soaking tub. This salon-like bathroom and closet area is bigger than most people’s homes or apartments. For this feature alone, it’s easy to see what makes the home so appealing. Indeed, the scale of the rooms sets the tone for the home experience from the moment one enters the vast entry hall, which is clad in solid limestone with beveled inserts of Nero Marquina marble beneath a faceted ceiling of antique mirror framed in bronze. The epic great room, which soars to 44 feet high, pumps up the volume even further.

Drake's Beverly Hills Living Room

Measuring 50,000 square feet, with amenities such as an NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court crowned by a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight, Drake’s astonishing domicile certainly qualifies as extravagant. Every detail of the sprawling property has been meticulously conceived and executed. There is also a full-size beach volleyball court, an 80-foot slide, and an outdoor fireplace. Amenities include a basketball court, a tennis court, and an equestrian ring. Overall the house boasts a wine cellar, a tasting room, six fireplaces, and a theater that seats 25, according to TMZ. Black marble bathtub graces his bathroom and his closet is two stories.

Details are scarce because the house wasn’t publicly listed for sale, but the source said the deal should close north of $70 million — likely in the mid-$70-million range. On the third verse, Drake finally takes the AI effects off and raps in his own voice. In 2018, Drake threw down a little over $300k for additions that included an expansion of his already massive 1,695 square foot bedroom (adding an extra 98 feet), an addition to the maid’s room, and a kitchen upgrade. If that’s not enough space, you could also purchase the two neighboring properties. Elsewhere are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including a 2,000-square-foot primary suite that’s hidden behind a bookshelf.

Drake, the most commercially successful hip hop artist of his generation, has just dropped two diss tracks aimed at Kendrick Lamar, arguably the genre's most critically revered artist (and the first rapper to win the Pulitzer Prize). Drake’s decision to use artificial intelligence in a diss track is a polarizing development in this feud. Assuming that Akademiks is correct and Drake did in fact write and rap the first two verses himself (before applying AI Tupac and Snoop filters to his voice), it was a very clever chess move to use Kendrick’s idols against him. It further dramatizes an already theatrical beef, and it’s a way for Drake to try and remove potential disses from the board that Kendrick could’ve used against him.

The main house has seven bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, and a pool/guest house with a mosaic-tiled pool and indoor-outdoor kitchen. There’s also a hidden tennis court with an orchard and an 11-car garage. An elevator, wine cellar, gym, and game room completes the lavish amenities on property. As this is a celebrity-favorite home, it only makes sense that there are three extra en suite bedrooms for staff. It’s also an ideal residence for those who love to entertain and host parties, with its large kitchen and several gathering spots.

More specifically, he compares her to Kendrick’s old Top Dog Entertainment boss (Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith), who he also rapped about on “Push Ups,” and implies that she and Top dictate Dot’s release schedule. Earlier this month, the famous rapper is purchasing another mansion in an off-market deal in Beverly Hills for $50 million, $35 million below the asking price. The house measures 25,000 square feet and fits 11 vehicles in its garage. Reached by a stone bridge, the two-story spot is decked out with custom chandeliers, rock fireplaces and amenities such as a bar, wine cellar, tasting room, recording studio and movie theater. The hip-hop star saved the best for last, as the residence known as the “Yolo Estate” is the most impressive of the three homes by far. He bought the Tudor-style house a decade ago for $7.7 million and transformed it into a full-fledged party compound complete with a mechanical bull, sand volleyball court and custom swimming pool with an 80-foot rock waterslide and secret grotto complete with TVs and a bar.

The pool has a swim-up bar, and is surrounded by giant statues of naked women. The house is also surrounded by animal statues that include a 60-foot crocodile next to a mechanical bull. The master bedroom is connected to a spa and marble soaking tubs, amounting to 2,000 square feet. Canadian rapper Aubrey Drake Graham, otherwise known as Drake, stars on Architectural Digest's May cover, where he opens the doors to his sprawling 50,000 square-foot Toronto mansion. If you've watched his Toosie Slide video, you already know how wildly extravagant this pad is. There’s a double-height foyer with a sweeping grand staircase, plus a living room with two fireplaces.

Lamar, on the other hand, has built his identity on seemingly prioritising artistry over popularity. It's an evocation intended to cut deep; Lamar has been outspoken about the late 2Pac being his idol. To Pimp a Butterfly closes with Kendrick staging a conversation with the late Shakur via archival audio from the Californian rapper. On April 19, within hours of releasing Push Ups, Drake shared another diss on X, titled Taylor Made Freestyle.

Inside are a handful of formal living spaces, 10 bedrooms and a staggering 22 bathrooms. In an interview with BBC Radio, Williams said the house has 27 toilets. “Taylor Made Freestyle” is no “Back to Back,” but Drake has made it clear that he desperately wants Kendrick to respond to his jabs and keep the rap war going. He isn’t ducking any smoke from the rest of his opposition, either, so it sounds like the ball is in everyone else’s court now. AI Snoop Dogg opens his verse by rapping, “Nephew, what the fuck you really 'bout to do? / We passed you the torch in the House of Blues,” which references the infamous moment in 2011 when Snoop, Dr. Dre, and The Game passed the symbolic west coast rap torch to Kendrick in front of a live audience.

It was a clever move, but let’s not pretend it’s all positive, though. All is fair in love and rap war, so it’s hard to argue the moral permissibility of Drake evoking the voice of a deceased artist like Pac, especially when Dot also used deepfake AI technology in his “The Heart Part 5” music video to look like Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle. Dot got the approval of Nip’s family and was using the tech to pay homage to the late icons, and Drake is using it in a much different context. We also have to take into account the potentially dangerous symbolism of a massive artist like Drake embracing AI technology, and he shouldn’t be lauded as a creative mastermind for it. 200 high-profile artists just signed a petition to protect music from shit like this.

The dinner and the many events surrounding it have always been a contrast to the crises, and this year was ever apparent, due in part of post-Covid pent up demand. The crowds were back to what they were pre-2020, masks were scarce and even Dr. Anthony Fauci was present. He skipped last year’s event out of concern over the spread, and he was right.

To get around that, Grants Pass banned “camping,” anywhere, anytime — including having even a single blanket.

If you read any news, or even secretly get your worldview from TikTok, you’re already sick of hearing about Grants Pass and how the outcome of this case will forever determine how we deal with homelessness. Biden began the roast with a focus on Trump, calling him “sleepy Don,” in reference to courtroom scenes of Trump appearing to nap during his New York criminal trial and a nod to a nickname Trump has used against Biden. He went on to say that despite being of similar age, the two presidential hopefuls have little else in common.

Remarks by President Biden at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

“We have to take this serious — eight years ago we could have written it off as ‘Trump talk’ but not after January 6,” Biden told the audience, referring to the supporters of Trump who stormed the Capitol after Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election. That said, hand-wringing over the event — and the signal it sends of reporters mingling with their sources — has been a criticism for many, many years, but the dinner has lasted. Major media outlets still throw splashy parties that promote their brands. Seated on the dais was White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich. In her remarks, Keith seemingly made reference to the revelations in the Dominion lawsuit, as she referred to reporters “who have been derided by the people within their organization” for reporting the facts. In an email from November, 2020, the now-departed Fox host Carlson had called for Heinrich to be fired for fact-checking one of Trump’s tweets.

After the onslaught of barbs from Biden and Wood, some network personalities weren’t guffawing in the event post-mortem. On Sunday on Fox & Friends Weekend, host Pete Hegseth slammed the dinner as “a gigantic love-fest for the Democrat Party, the establishment inside D.C.,” per Mediaite. He pointed to the cheers that greeted Biden when he mentioned announcing his 2024 presidential run, although the crowd included not just journalists but many administration guests and supporters. Criticism of the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s 6-month-old military offensive in Gaza has spread through American college campuses, with students pitching encampments in an effort to force their universities to divest from Israel.

Counterprotests back Israel’s offensive and accuse pro-Palestinian activists of antisemitism. Protesters cried, “Free, free Palestine.” They cheered when someone inside the Washington Hilton — where the dinner has been held for decades — unfurled a Palestinian flag from a top-floor hotel window. Biden, like most of his predecessors, used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents’ Assn. banquet to jab at his rival, Donald Trump. He followed the jokes with solemn warnings about what he said would happen if Trump won the presidency again. Political roasts at last night's White House Correspondent's dinner, plus how the election-year landscape is shaping up for control of each chamber of Congress. The comments, even as part of a roast, were notable given Mr. Biden has forbidden his aides to talk publicly about Mr. Trump’s legal troubles.

Following the dinner, TheGrio, owned by Allen Media Group, is hosting Byron Allen Presents The Washington, D.C. Gala, honoring CBS News’ Gayle King and featuring a concert by Diana Ross, and Wood as host, per organizers. The event at the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture will be aired on TheGrio and other platforms May 1. The presence of POTUS and FLOTUS is a contrast to the Trump years, when the onetime Celebrity Apprentice host not only skipped the dinner but counter-programmed the event with a rally in which he bashed the dinner as elitist.

Except for Donald Trump, every president has attended at least one WHCA dinner, beginning with Calvin Coolidge in 1924.[7][4][17] The dinner is traditionally held on the evening of the last Saturday in April at the Washington Hilton. Besides the dinner itself, one of the longest-lasting traditions of the weekend is the annual pre-dinner Garden Brunch, started 30 years ago in the backyard of Tammy Haddad’s home. This year’s event, held at the Beall-Washington House, included the usual mix of journalists, celebrities, business figures and politicos. Governor Gavin Newsom was there, although he winged it back to California and didn’t attend the big Saturday evening event itself.

In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump. Last year's event was attended by both Dr. Biden and President Biden, who noted that his appearance marked "the first time a president has attended this dinner in six years." Chants accused U.S. journalists of undercovering the war and misrepresenting it. “Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide,” crowds chanted at one point.

C-SPAN will present live coverage of the event as well as the red carpet, and CNN and MSNBC are planning coverage of the dinner. In addition to joking about his low-approval ratings and age, Biden also told several self-deprecating quips at the event, where 2,600 politicians, journalists, celebrities and guests were in attendance. A senior White House official told NBC News that the president will advocate for the release of detained American journalists, such as The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested and accused of espionage in Russia last month.

Right now, under the Grants Pass ruling, if there aren’t enough shelter beds for everyone, then every unsheltered person is considered involuntarily homeless. So hundreds of homeless folks literally have no other option than to sleep outside. There is also only one privately run shelter, and to be real, it sounds terrible.

The network and Chris Licht host the annual post-dinner, Sunday morning event at The Line DC. The White House Correspondents' Dinner will take place on Saturday, April 29, at 8 p.m., where President Joe Biden and host comedian Roy Wood Jr. are expected to deliver remarks and humorous jabs to the press corps. More than two dozen journalists in Gaza wrote a letter last week calling on their colleagues in Washington to boycott the dinner altogether. Biden’s speech before an expected crowd of nearly 3,000 people at a Washington hotel will be followed by entertainer Colin Jost from “Saturday Night Live,” who is sure to take some pokes at the president as well as his opponents.

During his lighthearted remarks last year, Biden joked about his attendance at the dinner. Newsweek reached out to representatives for Biden and the WHCA via email for additional information.

By the end, it seemed to me Grants Pass was about one city going too far, and politicians who need a boogeyman in an election year. If anyone doubts Sotomayor is a leader for the liberal bloc, take a minute to listen to how she engages in arguments — quick, ruthless and pointed. But the case made it to the Supreme Court, where Sotomayor didn’t mince words Monday when she said Grants Pass is “not about fires. It’s not about tents,” attacking the perception that the 9th Circuit injunction stopped cities from enforcing laws against dangers such as, say, camping the middle of a freeway or lighting a bonfire next to a preschool. There are 195 days until the election and we’re in the Supreme Court today, where SMS showed up like the new RBG. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.

And sometimes shoppers need a little extra incentive to step over the line and decide to place an order. On a product page, customer testimonials and social proof can take several forms.

Pre-press and print your packaging

The folded carton packages are often mass-produced, uncut, and unlabeled, sent to a printer of our choice. This implies that the product is being marketed to a larger audience. Your product packaging needs to engage the viewer’s mind in a way that resonates with the brand message on the subconscious level without being blatant or over the top. Quality control in plastic production and recycling facilities is essential for producing high-quality products. A key element for efficient recycling of plastics is the sorting of mixed plastic waste into pure waste streams, as impurities can compromise the quality and integrity of the recycled products. From checking incoming materials to approving bales of sorted plastics or textiles, trinamiX makes quality control simple and easy.

For example, QR codes can bring certified leads to targeted websites, while NFC can ease product authentication. Augmented reality can offer detailed and realistic product viewings for remote customers. It can provide convenient functionality, such as easy opening and resealing while delivering additional value through informative labels, usage instructions, or promotional materials. Packaging is a protective barrier, safeguarding the product from damage during shipping, handling, and storage. It ensures that the product reaches the consumer in pristine condition, enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing returns.

Product packaging design FAQ

Create the artwork for each packaging design or custom packaging design. This can include information on cut lines, a dieline template, printing requirements, and any ancillary design elements. Production artists will create print-ready files you can take forward to printing — most likely using Adobe Illustrator for .ai, .pdf, or .eps files.

How to Design Product Packaging: An In-Depth Guide

Then, designers create several concepts that reflect their research findings and submit them to their client for approval. Many times, it’s the little extra touches and personalization that seal the purchase decision for your customers, especially when the item is a gift. Giving them the option to write special messages, add gift wrapping, and include other unique features with their purchase makes it more likely that they’ll buy from your online store.

Offer product add-ons such as gift wrapping

Finally, you can use WooCommerce extensions to modify your product page layout. For example, you can add videos, product-specific FAQs, customization options, and more. If you serve a local area, you can send out postcards to draw people in that area to your ecommerce store. This approach can be very effective because it avoids all the online distractions fighting for people’s attention.

If you’re a startup, and marketing dollars are scarce, don’t be fret over starting out small. Note that many brand’s packaging evolves as they grow and become more successful. And watching your bottom line doesn’t mean sacrificing creativity.

The most effective packaging designs embrace the idea that how a customer holds the product well determines its success. But even though these are the traditional approaches, there are better, more profitable ways to design packaging. Even a small startup with limited capital can create a brand development strategy, including a packaging design process, creating more than a cool-looking package. And you must because your brand will compete against the biggest companies in the most competitive categories.

Main Levels of Product Packaging

With the product selling in stores, you’ll visit those in person and gauge how your packaging stands up (or stands out) versus the others it’s displayed alongside. There’s the obvious reuse of an outer ecommerce box for shipping. So it may be worth it to at least have your company name and logo there. However, if any of your other packaging can be used again – think a custom box being used as a keepsake container – it could be worth the investment to further appeal to your consumers. Top brands factor every single element into their custom packaging and box designs, from the size and weight of a box to the font on the label.

It enables customization, serialization, late-stage design changes, and versioning of packaging designs. Digital printing is widely used for various packaging applications such as labels, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging, corrugated boxes, and folding cartons. You also need to make sure you are designing for the target consumer. Many designers get swept up in designing packaging that they would likely buy, which no doubt makes for a pretty result, but this could end up alienating your target market.

Every brand should follow these steps before making a final design decision. Are you launching this product to increase or leverage brand awareness? Sometimes, a product may be more of a branding packaging design, where it’s about furthering the brand name. Often, this is the case when creating a branded house line extension. Let’s look at some of the essential aspects of a brand strategy and how it impacts your product packaging design.

Begin by studying the product’s features, and use those to determine the benefits it offers to customers. Write your product description around benefits – the desirable outcomes customers experience once they buy your product. You can use product categories and tags to organize your items, making things much easier for your customers.

Product recommendations serve customers with relevant offerings and increase your average order size at the same time. For example, Cocktail Crate lets shoppers choose any three mixers they want to buy as part of a bundle. Their product page walks the customer through choosing each item until they have completed their three-pack. One of the most frustrating parts about online shopping happens when you have to hunt for the price – and that’s the easiest detail to add to a product page.

While chatbot providers are in abundance, they are still stuck in the traditional canned answers and FAQs. An AI-enabled platform such as Cognigy.AI is the true evolution of chatbot supporting both consumers and customer service agents. The idea is to keep discussion efficient without the added stress and frustration of what feels like having a failed and laborious conversation with an awkward robot. Programmers work to ensure that the conversations are natural, helpful, and as pleasant for the user as possible. These programs' main goal is to make the conversational style seem human-like, so you will never know that you are talking to a computer.

Here’s an overview of the conversation design process.

Once the basics are covered, the dialogue will likely still require extensive rewrites to fine-tune everything. The final task before launch involves testing the dialogue on real users to ensure it flows as flawlessly as possible. Once the core decisions are made, designers create sample conversations to help them identify the right flow that the average conversation with the bot will have. Conversation designers will typically work with a flow map that allows them to fully visualize and anticipate the way conversations should play out. Anytime someone interacts with a chatbot, they have a goal in mind for the conversation.

We love designing and maintaining websites. We’ve done a bunch and each one is wonderful and unique, just like you!

Again, from an application view, this might be one of the hardest things to accomplish without a very sophisticated intent engine and natural language composer. However, when you are designing these conversations, and setting scores on tonality and nuance, there are indeed a lot of tricks that can be played to make things more conversational and less scripted. The crucial aspect that separates a memorable bot from an ineffective one is personality. One thing I’ve noticed about many bot-first companies is that they all sound the same.

Can An AI Assistant Make Us Faster and More Creative?

Broadly speaking, a conversation is any sort of interactive communication between two or more parties. Conversations are not strictly verbal — think about sending a text message, or passing notes in class. These are also forms of “conversation” where news and ideas are exchanged. Dan has over 15 years experience in information technology, audio visual systems and cable installation.

It’s hard to imagine someone having difficulty with such simple, straightforward prompts. And if they did, you’d address the issue in a reprompt. We’ve already talked about being brief, being relevant, and leveraging context. Clearly, the persona of the second VUI is more competent and likeable.

BINGE! CREATIVE

Just think of all the assumptions it is happy to admit. It assumes the user who has called before heard a different design (different “options”)—that is, they didn’t call just a few minutes ago. It often assumes that “recently” is understood to mean “several months ago.” It assumes users who heard the different design actually remember it! Because the prompt disregards the user’s context, it ends up being irrelevant to practically everyone who hears it, and we’ve already talked about how and why irrelevance in the VUI world feels like punishment. This persona makes no attempt to satisfy the user's intent and, after presenting some bad news, simply ends the interaction. This last one might be more familiar to those in the world of marketing.

Enter a booming industry

A lot of the inspiration behind Jasleen Kaur’s art comes from her Punjabi Sikh upbringing in Glasgow, where she was born in 1986. We’d love to start a conversation about the project you are working on. More workplaces are bolstering their volunteer programs, especially as employee demands grow for socially responsible employers and engagement. Nearly three in five companies surveyed by the Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals reported increased opportunities for group volunteering last year.

Not two conversations are alike, yet it seems like the promise of the near term future is all about conversational interfaces, conversational design, and how computers are getting closer to beat the touring test.

They were written by the developers instead of writers. The conversation, while functional, is very linear with without the surprises a creative writer may include. When a lot of bots fail, they say things like “sorry, I didn’t understand you.” Users get frustrated. Going back to our banking example, one way of approaching the personality is to reference branding guidelines with application purpose.

In this digital age that we’re living in, conversations with customers are no longer limited to face-to-face or phone interactions. We can easily see this change when we look at the popularity of channels like text messages and messenger apps. Designing for inclusivity—for a wide range of use cases—makes the entire field of conversation design stronger.

For organizations that use conversational AI technology to automate conversations on chat and voice channels, CDI has a full learning program that helps you go all the way from MVP to deployments at scale. Developers of third-party Actions have to create their own personas.

The personality of a conversational application is the combination of characteristics that sets up a foundation for things like tone of voice or terminology used by the bot. The personality is intended to help set expectations for the user. For example, formal language might be chosen to establish a sense of trust in a financial or medical-focused application. Similarly, motivational language might be chosen for an application intended to help with coaching or education. On the other hand, casual language or slang may be chosen for an application where the exchange is low risk.

Hans van Dam is co-founder and Dean of the Conversation Design Institute, world’s leading training and certification institute for conversation designers. The Conversation Design Institute works with brands like Walmart, JP Morgan, Google, ABN AMRO, and many others, to make their AI Assistants more human-centric, helpful, and natural. Hans van Dam lectures at multiple universities (VU, University of Nijmegen, Goldsmiths), and speaks often at conferences around the world.

Cozy Bakery Interior

Consider adding counters along walls to increase seating capacity without compromising the flow of foot traffic around the shop. There are no set rules on the number of colors to use in your bakery - generally most businesses like to stick to two or three colors in various shades to make a cohesive feeling. But plenty of businesses balance multiple colors together in harmony to create fun or memorable locations for customers to share photos on their social media (great for free promotions!). While documenting the essentials makes certain you won't forget to include anything in your layout, this is only the beginning of bakery design. It's also important to think about what colors you want to use to theme your shop, sign placement, lighting, etc.

The Epos Now till uses simple design to provide all the tools bakeries need on software you can train your team to use in as little as fifteen minutes. You can create focal points to advertise low prices, promotions, deals, and other sales materials you want to raise awareness of. This might mean creating a poster space where you can encourage engagement with the business through a loyalty scheme or advertise your social media platforms. Applying these advertisements carefully and tastefully can boost sales and increase customer retention. A focal point will help draw customers to the parts of your store where they can engage with products. Have multiple display stands where your delicious creations can be showcased.

Fully utilizing shelves, bins, drawers, cupboards, fridges and freezers, etc., is a great way to save valuable floor space. Plus it can create additional storage for ingredients and other materials you may need in running your business. Consider utilizing vertical space with wall-mounted shelves or cabinets if there isn’t enough room on the ground level for what you need to store away. Whatever direction you take your branding in, it's important to back up your self-image with concrete evidence, which you can use to market your business by placing it in plain sight. To continue the eco-bakery idea, you might use upcycled furniture, packaging from recycled materials, and sustainably grown ingredients, all visible to every customer that steps inside.

However, it's essential to differentiate between "modern" and "contemporary" in the context of architecture. While "modern" refers to a specific architectural movement with defined stylistic features, "contemporary" refers to homes built in the present day, which can showcase a variety of architectural styles. In other words, all modern homes are contemporary (as they were at the time of their construction), but not all contemporary homes are modern.

WHY USE THE PLAN COLLECTION?

The use of industrial materials, another key characteristic of modern homes, can also contribute to higher costs. While aesthetically appealing and durable, materials like steel, glass, and concrete are often more expensive than traditional building materials like wood or brick but check locally. The cost to build a modern contemporary home can range from around $200+ per square foot to $600+ or more per square foot, depending on the materials and finishes used. Additionally, modern houses frequently incorporate advanced technologies such as intelligent home systems and sustainability features like solar panels and energy-efficient appliances. While these features can provide long-term savings on energy costs, they tend to increase the initial construction cost.

In the United States, as of July 2023, the average cost to build a new home can range anywhere from $150+ to $500+ per square foot. However, regarding modern homes specifically, you might expect to be on the higher end of this spectrum or even exceed it due to the factors mentioned earlier. In addition, modern homes often incorporate advanced technology, such as smart home systems, and sustainable features, like solar panels or energy-efficient appliances.

The use of open spaces, such as great rooms and open-concept kitchens, creates a sense of flow and spaciousness, making these homes perfect for entertaining and modern living. Modern house design originated after World War II, as simple, affordable designs with clean lines and minimal clutter. Around 1980, post-modern homes began to combine elements of different styles for suburban customers, often with the garage protruding at the front. These floor plans could contain vaulted ceilings and interesting window treatments.

These homes are visually striking and designed to accommodate the needs and lifestyle of a 21st-century family. A contemporary home is one that reflects the latest style, which today means cutting-edge 21st-century architecture and design. The term is evolutionary, meaning "contemporary design" changes to reflect what's new and trending. Most home styles fall under older, traditional archetypes, but today's contemporary homes stand out as the next stage of modern design as well as the ever-growing transitional category. While the form of the house may be modest, the spaces within and their connections to the outdoors are anything but!

We promise great service, solid and seasoned technical assistance, tremendous choice, and the best value in new home designs available anywhere.

Many ranch house plans are made with this contemporary aesthetic.
