The fact of the matter is, tissue box designs, for the most part, are pretty boring. Sure, some may have a fun Disney character on it, but can’t that get tacky at times? A project for my graphic design class a few years ago required that we create our own tissue box design, mock it up, and put it to use. As I sat in class sipping my venti Starbucks iced coffee, I thought, why not make a Starbucks-themed tissue box?
It was super fun imitating all aspects of the Starbucks cup, and I had to be sure to include every little detail. In the end, I guess it looked so real, that one morning I wake up to an email from my graphic design teacher, saying that my tissue box was gone. We determined that one of two things could’ve happened: either someone stole it or threw it out.
The latter is probably more plausible—a janitorial staff member could’ve thought it was an empty cup with some used tissues in it. It’s cool to know that the design was realistic enough to be wanted/mistaken for a real Starbucks cup.
So, if you have a Starbucks-themed tissue box lying around your house, we all know it’s not yours.
