It seems drinking and designing goes together as good as peanut butter and jelly. Many a designer can admit to enjoy the cocktail or three. Recently, many spirit companies have been turning to their customers for creative ideas in packaging. The latest comes from famed 1800 Tequila and their open contest to design a bottle.

The concept is simple. Users submit their bottles and other viewers rate the designs on a 5 star system. Allegedly winning entries will be selected and have their artwork produced in actual product. Think you have what it takes to design your peer’s next hang over? Head on over to the site and submit your entries, and find out.

Luckily, there’s Resolio - a really intuitive way to create good looking resumes, online. This slick little web site lets anyone have a resume that’s not only aesthetically pleasing, but in the correct format. So if you’re unemployed (and recent reports suggest many of you are), perhaps this is your first stop.
