Christmas Box

THE BOX OF DELIGHTS The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon Wednesday 15th November 2023 John Masefield’s beloved children’s fantasy novel comes to the RSC main stage in this adaptation by Piers Torday.  Torday wisely frames the story with a grandfather and grandson rooting around in an attic.  Memories are triggered and the main plot of the book is reenacted, with the grandson…

The Scottish Play

I am pretty sure this made the fandom headlines today and I am definitely late to the party...

But here are my two cents on it, also based on Baz Bamigboye's very comprehensive Deadline report, featuring some pretty interesting insights from S himself:

(Source: https://deadline.com/2025/06/sam-heughan-macbeth-royal-shakespeare-company-debut)

The 'I told you' thing is always a questionable rhetoric weapon, but I think I really gave you a pretty accurate opinion on S's potential. A very long time ago, even:

[Source: https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/725752526214971392/we-few-we-happy-few-we-band-of-brothers?source=share -posted on August 15, 2023]

It is always easy to be a sad, trolling bitch when your cultural access range stops at Bridgerton, because it is almost too easy to disparage and disregard what you are clearly unequipped to understand, for a start. Also because showing empathy and trust was never on your agenda, as far as S goes. And because your worst lies have now been shattered, all you've got left is to slam 'the Mommies', who will allegedly break havoc at the RSC's Stratford-upon-Avon venue.

You know what? I am pretty sure those Mommies, whose existence I never denied, the ones who stand in line by Arctic temperatures in front of obscure liquor stores, do not have - with all due respect - the social and economic profile to travel to Stratford for the RSC's new Macbeth show. This might sound blunt, but I think you will see no shouting, catcalling crowds. It's too far away. It is, realistically speaking, way too expensive. And it is, one more time, out of their range, for Macbeth is, after all, one of the most intricately sinister plays that ever existed. Plus zero chances for a shirtless lollapalooza - so no, I predict no eccentric happenings, this time.

I am over the moon for S and I will be there to decently clap, if the Box Office gods would allow. In the meanwhile, here are the logistical details, as per the RSC's website itself:

[Source: https://www.rsc.org.uk/macbeth/]

Macbeth will be on from October 9 to December 6, 2025 and the tickets will be available for the public on June 25. Already bookmarking these and I will keep you posted.

Two other things, for the road, to keep it simple and clear - from the Deadline paper:

So, it was her, on that photo taken by the Three Brazilian Stooges, the next day after her brutal disappearance from the Landcon. Despite the pathetic guessing game, featuring his mother, some mystery woman grossly hinted by the OG Troll, and probably even Evita Perón, if only she could have been available (no dice, for very obvious reasons). So yes, they absolutely do not hate each other, which is really an understatement, if you see what I mean, here. Because yes, she is 'obviously in London as well' (what a peculiar choice of words, by the way), because they are 'obviously not together' (this reminded me of that particularly feeble denial, for some reason and my left foot they aren't). And because this probably was the perfect occasion for S to quietly slide the cursor towards a 'nothing to see here' narrative, allowing for further twists and turns down the road (yes, mark me, LOL).

Finally, of course she is in London and not in GLA, where the Taj Mahal stands forlorn and forgotten and not under repairs at all, which is really strange for such a hefty real estate investment, unless (heh)... And yes, these are very fresh news I am bringing you, with my thanks to the kind informer - you know who you are and I am grateful for the share.

Last, but not least, for the hair fetishists who abound in this fandom:

'A new skin and a new me and new beginnings'. In his own words, ladies and gentlemen.

This made me grin, but in the best possible way. As for The Gathering, yes - I have thoughts and possibly even questions. A bit later tonight, though.

PS: Shakespeare is not my favorite playwright (Tennessee Williams is the lucky winner, and by far). But yeah, I'll make an effort.

Obituary

William Russell obituary

Stage and screen actor who was part of the original cast of Doctor Who

Michael Coveney Tue 4 Jun 2024 17.40 BST

On 23 November 1963 – the day after the assassination of President John F Kennedy – the actor William Russell, who has died aged 99, appearing in a new BBC television series, approached what looked like an old-fashioned police box in a scrapyard, from which an old chap emerged, saying he was the doctor. Russell responded: “Doctor Who?”

And so was launched one of the most popular TV series of all time, although the viewing figures that night were low because of the political upheaval, so the same episode was shown again a week later. It caught on, big time, with Russell – as the science schoolteacher Ian Chesterton – and William Hartnell as the Doctor establishing themselves alongside Jacqueline Hill as the history teacher Barbara Wright and Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman.

Russell stayed until 1965, returning to the show in 2022 in a cameo appearance as Ian and, since then, participating happily in all the hoop-la and fanzine convention-hopping, signing and schmoozing that such a phenomenon engenders.

Before that, though, Russell had achieved prominence in the title role of the ITV series The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956-57) – he was strongly built with an air of dashing bravado about him; he had been an RAF officer in the later stages of the second world war – and as the lead in a 1957 BBC television adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby, transmitted live in 18 weekly episodes.

When Sir Lancelot went to the US, the first British TV import to be shot in colour for an American audience, Russell rode down Fifth Avenue on a horse in full regalia, like some returning, mystical, medieval knight in the heart of Normandy. The show was a smash hit.

By now he was established in movies, playing a servant to John Mills in The Gift Horse (1952) and a clutch of second world war action movies including They Who Dare (1954) opposite Dirk Bogarde, directed by Lewis “All Quiet on the Western Front” Milestone – he met his first wife, the French model and actor Balbina Gutierrez on a boat sailing to Cyprus to a location shoot in Malta – and Ronald Neame’s The Man Who Never Was (1956), the first Operation Mincemeat movie, in which he played Gloria Grahame’s fiance.

Until this point in his career, he was known as Russell Enoch. But Norman Wisdom, with whom he played in the knockabout comedy farce One Good Turn (1955) objected to his surname because he felt (oddly) that it would publicise a vaudevillian rival of his called Enoch. So, somewhat meekly, and to keep Wisdom happy, he became William Russell, although, in the 1980s, for happy and productive periods with the Actors Touring Company and the RSC, he reverted to the name Russell Enoch. Later, he settled again on William Russell. All very confusing for the historians. His doorbell across the road from me in north London bore the legend “Enoch”.

He was born in Sunderland, the only child of Alfred Enoch, a salesman and small business entrepreneur, and his wife, Eva (nee Pile). They moved to Solihull, and then Wolverhampton, where William attended the grammar school before moving on to Fettes college in Edinburgh and Trinity College, Oxford, where his economics tutor was the brilliant Labour parliamentarian Anthony Crosland.

But Russell didn’t “get” the economics part of the PPE (philosophy, politics and economics) course and switched, much to Crosland’s relief, to English. In those years, 1943-46, he worked out his national service and appeared in revues and plays with such talented contemporaries as Kenneth Tynan, Tony Richardson and Sandy Wilson.

On graduating, he played in weekly rep in Tunbridge Wells, fortnightly rep at the Oxford Playhouse and featured, modestly, in the Alec Guinness Hamlet of 1951 at the New (now the Noël Coward) theatre. He had big roles in seasons at the Bristol Old Vic and the Oxford Playhouse in the early 60s, while on television he was in JB Priestley’s An Inspector Calls with John Gregson, and was St John Rivers in Jane Eyre.

He played Shylock and Ford (in the Merry Wives of Windsor) in 1968-69 at the Open Air, Regent’s Park, before joining the RSC in 1970 as the Provost in Measure for Measure (with Ian Richardson and Ben Kingsley), Lord Rivers in Norman Rodway’s Richard III and Salisbury in a touring King John, with the title role played by Patrick Stewart.

His billing slipped in movies, but he played small parts in good films such as Superman (1978), starring Christopher Reeve, as one of the Elders; as a passerby drawn into the violence in the Spanish-American slasher film Deadly Manor (1990); and in Bertrand Tavernier’s Death Watch (1980), a sci-fi futuristic fable about celebrity, reality TV and corruption, starring Romy Schneider and Harvey Keitel.

With John Retallack’s Actors Touring Company in the 80s, he was a lurching, apoplectic Sir John Brute in John Vanbrugh’s The Provok’d Wife, possessing, said Jonathan Keates in the Guardian, “a weirdly philosophical elegance”; a civilised Alonso, expertly discharging some of the best speeches in The Tempest; and a quick-change virtuosic king, peasant, soldier and tsar in Alfred Jarry’s 1896 surrealist satire Ubu Roi in the Cyril Connolly translation.

Back at the RSC in 1989, he was the courtly official Egeus in white spats (Helena wore Doc Martens) in an outstanding production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by John Caird, and both the Ghost and First Player in Mark Rylance’s pyjama-clad Hamlet directed by Ron Daniels. In 1994 he took over (from Peter Cellier) as Pinchard in Peter Hall’s delightful production of Feydeau’s Le Dindon, retitled in translation An Absolute Turkey, which it wasn’t.

He rejoined Rylance in that actor/director’s opening season in 1997 at the new Shakespeare’s Globe. He was King Charles VI of France in Henry V and Tutor to Tim in Thomas Middleton’s riotous Jacobean city comedy, A Chaste Maid in Cheapside. Many years later, in 2021, his son Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter movies), would play on the same stage as a fired-up Romeo.

Russell is survived by his second wife, Etheline (nee Lewis), a doctor, whom he married in 1984, and their son, Alfred, and by his children, Vanessa, Laetitia and Robert, from his marriage to Balbina, which ended in divorce, and four grandchildren, James, Elise, Amy and Ayo.

 William Russell Enoch, actor, born 19 November 1924; died 3 June 2024.

-- I'm a bit annoyed there's no mention of the fact that William continued to play Ian Chesterton for Big Finish.

Do you have any favorite productions of the tempest that you’d recommend? I’m going bonkers and need to watch more :0

Hello !!!!! I'm so, so sorry for the late response but I am extremely honoured to be asked this question.

UNFORTUNATELY, I must admit that I've only watched one Tempest production thus far (and I'm horribly attached to it), and that is the 2013 Globe production which you can watch for free here on the Internet Archive.

I've also briefly seen clips of the 2016 Royal Shakespeare Company Production and the 2010 film (featuring genderbent Prospera!), both of which seem to take unique theatrical directions (like the interesting CGI Ariel at the RSC ... ). If you'd like to check those out, I believe you can watch the film on Internet Archive or most other movie pirating sites. (I've not had time to scrounge for an RSC bootleg yet, sorry!!) If you do find anything, please let me know! I am always welcome to any Tempest stuff in my ask box.

Thanks to @welcometololaland, @three-drink-amy, @strandnreyes, @thisbuildinghasfeelings, @rmd-writes, @alrightbuckaroo and @birdclowns for the tags! As always, boxing fic owns my entire heart forever. The boys got a little carried away here. They're just really into each other, okay? 🥊 (warning for light D/s vibes)

TK pulls back with Carlos’s fist still tight in his hair. Less than a minute of kissing and TK looks utterly debauched. His pupils are blown, his lips pink, mouth wet. Utterly debauched, and Carlos is hard and throbbing for him, can feel the fabric of his sweatpants sliding over the head of his c*ck with every heady pulse. 

“Jesus, TK,” he breathes. “How do you do that? What was it for?”

“Which question shall I answer first?” TK asks, with a smirk that prompts Carlos to make a mental note about discussing how he feels about being punished in the bedroom later. He’d never start a scenario on assumption alone, but he has the distinct feeling TK would be into it. 

“The second one,” he says, catching his breath. He feels like they’ve been running. He tries to see straight, to pull away from his thoughts of bringing his hand down hard onto TK’s ass – over and over until pale skin turns cherry red and TK’s c*ck oozes precome as he begs Carlos just to fuck him already, oh God. Carlos tries to focus, but the glint in TK’s eyes tell him he’s at least somewhat transparent.

“To shut you up,” TK says. He brushes his knuckles past Carlos’s groin, the back of his hand coming into contact with Carlos’s aching c*ck. TK’s smirk only deepens, and Carlos’s heart pounds with the thought of shutting TK up in turn. “And to stop all that pesky overthinking. Seems like it worked.”

“You’re such a little brat,” Carlos tells him. He keeps his voice low, tugs TK’s hair so it jerks his head backwards with a delicate cry, exposes the column of his throat. Carlos goes to it, lips against TK’s neck, sliding his tongue against pale skin, making sure to let TK feel his teeth. He presses his free hand to TK’s shorts, finds him hard beneath the fabric of them. “Maybe I should put that mouth to better use, huh? Push you down onto your knees and make you fucking choke on me.”

“Baby,” TK whispers, and Carlos nips at his earlobe now, whispering low; warm breath right at TK’s ear.

“You’re so good at it,” he says. The sound that spills from TK’s mouth is delectable – a sweet and moreish cocktail, a quiet whine that trembles with the force of his want. “Do you want it, sweetheart? My c*ck in your mouth right here?”

No pressure tags under the cut.

Important components for a really good production of Richard III:

Richard should be a) played by an actor who is themself visibly disabled[1], b) especially early on really damn charming and sexy

Buckingham should be in blatant unrequited love with Richard

Elizabeth should be FRICKING AWESOME and absolutely outwitting Richard towards the end, not giving into him

there should be at least a few moments that make able-bodied audience members really rather uncomfortable and make physically disabled audience members laugh our arses off :D

Which is why the 2021 RSC version starring Arthur Hughes, Jamie Wilkes, and Kirsty Bushell is the best, I note. :D But if you know of any other productions that tick all of those boxes I'd love to hear about them. :-)

[1] Invisible and non-physical disabilities are So Fricking Valid and I have some myself, but when it comes to R3 the visibility is important. <3

David Tennant looks back on the role he time-travelled into after leaving the Tardis, playing Hamlet in Greg Doran’s award-winning 2008 production for the Royal Shakespeare Company. David’s portrayal was described at the time as ‘athletic, and immensely engaging’, full of ‘vigour and wild humour’ and ‘the best great Dane in years’. Here, he talks about his approach to the part, performing opposite Patrick Stewart, who played the role of Claudius, and the reaction he got when the production became a hit with BBC audiences when it was screened on Boxing Day 2009.

David Tennant stars in a film of the Royal Shakespeare Company's award-winning production of Shakespeare's great play. Director Gregory Doran's modern-dress production was hailed by the critics as thrilling, fast-moving and, in parts, very funny. Hamlet must decide whether to avenge his father's murder at the hands of his uncle Claudius (played by Patrick Stewart), who has married his brother's wife - Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. This visually sumptuous screen version was filmed on location with all of the original stage cast. BBC Productions in association with Illuminations and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

FILMS/TV/PLAYS, April 2025 onwards...

I usually wait til I've watched another 100, but I reached a break in proceedings...

1) Merry Wives of Windsor (Unengaged-with Shakespeare Odyssey launches properly, with some amateur version on YouTube...The comedies are kinda tedious, with the endless disguise plots, although this one has Falstaff in it, who I can now finally talk about knowledgeably!)

2) Measure For Measure (more amateur hour...OK?!)...break for...

3) Diary of A Country Priest (actually ordered this for a few quid, which is unheard-of in recent times. Dead good)

4) Comedy of Errors (Trevor Nunn virtually pantomime version)

5) Love's Labour Lost (70s BBC version... alright)

6) Merchant of Venice (Al Pacino version...I actually turned this off towards the end when it got REALLY anti-Semitic...apart from that, obvs the best production thus far in this sweep)

7) As You Like It (Olivier version...quite appreciated the precise diction by this point)

8) Taming of the Shrew (Pickford version...Bit mauled I think for collapsing the plot & lots of mugging, but enjoyable for that!)

9) All's Well That Ends Well (ploddy amateur version)

10) Twelfth Night (Erm...Tommy Steele version!)

11) The Winter's Tale (RSC version - this was kinda OK, although as noted elsewhere, it pivots somewhat abruptly between dark & light)

12) King John (amateur, not bad)

13) Richard II (David Tennant version - by far the best by this point)

14) Henry IV Pt I (1990 version - there's several from that series in that year, & they're quite well done)

15) Henry IV Pt II (as above)

16) Henry V (Branagh version, easily trumps the Tennant one & hence easily the best thus far. Genuinely well worth a watch)

17) Hubert Robert: A Fortunate Life (quite good, evocative short about an old painter, which I watched on the Russian Ark DVD I borrowed off someone...didn't watch the latter in the end, but this was good)

18) Turtles Are Surprisingly Fast Swimmers (another I ordered, by the Adrift In Tokyo guy - this one is more determinedly silly, & I liked it very much, great colour scheme as well)

19) The Philadelphia Story (wasn't OVER- struck on this, but the young girl in it [who sadly died youngish] is a real firecracker, would love to see more of hers)

20) The Search For Weng Weng (doc on the diminutive Filipino action star)

21) Christine (Alan Clarke half hour thing I had been wanting to see for ages. Didn't love it as much as Elephant, or some of the longer ones from around the same time, but bloody good nevertheless)

22) Polyester (very good)

23) 4 Days In July commentary (cos that's the only version I could find, & I'm not desperate to see it without the commentary - good stuff)

24) Robinson In Ruins (finally completed the literary shamble)

25) Hard Truths (very good new Mike Leigh)

26) Desperate Living (proper good early John Waters)

27) Mondo Trasho (suffered through the bird scene to be able to say that John Waters is the FOURTH director I've completed on)

28) Various Svankmajer shorts

29) Hard Labour (pretty good early Mike Leigh TV play, once it gets going)

30) Kiss of Death (more early TV Leigh, & later the commentary)

31) Five Minutes Films (wish they had followed through on doing more of these nice little Mike Leigh things)

32) A Sense of History (quite different Mike Leigh thing, cos he didn't write it. Pretty funny)

33) Permissive Society (more early Leigh...as the comedian said, I don't think it exists - and I know, cos I've looked)

34) A Mug's Game? (Very early Leigh bit, notable for suggesting to children that you break your gambling habit by...making homebrew)

35) A Running Jump (more recent Leigh bit)

36) I, Daniel Blake (particularly notable for, as noted elsewhere, the very moving food bank scene)

37) A documentary on Hasil Adkins

38) An American In Paris (from a musicals box set from a book swap...OK)

39) Inside Deep Throat (doc I had had kicking around for years about the porno... pretty interesting)

40) Who's Who (Shelled out for the Mike Leigh Beeb box set, featuring a bunch of those I had just watched from above, plus pretty much the last Leighs I hadn't yet seen. This one ain't my fave, but...I've seen it now)

41) Home Sweet Home (The Mike Leigh for you if you always wanted to see Bob Cryer from The Bill getting jiggy)

42) Nuts In May commentary

43) Grown Ups commentary (one of my faves)

44) Starship Troopers (finally had enough recommendations to persevere with it...good for what it is)

45) Oldboy (OG - had stalled on this while I ummed and ahhed about Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, but I just skipped that in the end. Dead good)

46) Harvey (I was labouring under a big misapprehension about this, which I won't go into but which I felt I was led into by the advertising materials. Pretty darn good in the end)

47) Mad Max 2 &

48) Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (both of these to reach Fury Road, which I then decided I wasn't going to watch after about 2 minutes of a cut a second. Both perfectly enjoyable, but the original will remain by far my favourite)

49) A Scorsese doc about Powell & Pressburger

50) The Champion (decent shortish Chaplin)

51) The Kid (well-known heart strings- tugging full-length Chaplin. Still not sure I can be bothered with some of the other, much vaunted, ones, but this is well worth a watch)

52) Buster Keaton doc

53) Hitchcock (Alfred thingum...got a bit mauled, but I thought it did the job)

54) Safe (not perhaps something I would be drawn to subject-wise, but the director/star/advertising imagery drew me in. I believe this was beloved in the States at the time. I had never heard of it but thought it was excellent, including the acting, cinematography, music, sound design, etc. Highly recommended)

55) Some documentary stuff on the London Underground, from a box set of my Dad's

56) Paradise (TV series, with the missus - sci fi, but not ray guns. Pretty decent)

57) Murder Among the Mormons (rewatch, cos I was reading about Mormonism & had forgotten much of this, for which my jaw dropped the first time. Still a great watch)

58) Keep Sweet (continuing the niche religion theme)

59) Henry VI Pt I (another of the 1990 series. Delayed a long time cos of the dreadful sound on the YouTube copy, which has pretty much paused the Shakespeare Odyssey)

60) This Filthy World (I probably prefer John Waters just talking rather than trying, but still great fun)

61) Susana (rare trip to Fopp to gather up a coupla mid-price goodies - absolutely loved this Bunuel tale of a gleefully immoral strumpet)

62) Love On the Spectrum (new series - sorry, not sorry)

63) You Can't Ask That (Australian series, one of those things where minority groups answer dumb questions about their conditions/preferences/experiences etc)

64) Fred West & Robert Napper dox (I don't think I usually mention this sort of seediness...or maybe I haven't watched many for a while...The West Netflix one had some footage of him being taken back to the burial sites which I think has only now been released, & Napper there probably isn't enough on considering how immensely disturbed he clearly was/is)

65) The Real Animal Farm (I remember reading a great piece in Headpress decades ago about how everyone in the 80s/90s [including me] had heard of, & some people had had the misfortune to see, a beastiality porno called Animal Farm, & what was the story behind it, & why couldn't it be identified [spoiler alert: because it was cut together from various shorts]. I didn't know there was a UK TV doc episode about it though! Pretty interesting if depressing watch)

66) Long Bright River (latest series I've not quite finished with the missus...not bad)

67) Performance (more cheap Fopp booty...Had seen SOME of this before.. Pretty good start. As someone else (Ebert?) said, slows a bit afterwards, but very creative stuff)

68) Titicut Follies (I don't want to take away from the well-known fact that this depicts some pretty horrific conditions, but I feel that practically everything I read about it afterwards skipped straight past the sign that said it was a facility for the CRIMINALLY insane, not just your gran who has gone a bit doolally. Because of the way he films stuff, you have to build in the narrative surrounding it. So, for instance, in the much-noted sequence where an old, naked, vulnerable- looking ex-teacher is being goaded by a guard about keeping his cell clean, I would read that as frustration that the guy probably keeps doing dirty protests...after being locked away for fiddling with children. Happy to amend that if wrong, but you get my point. Glad things have improved since then, but dudes, one guy is interviewed and openly says he interfered with one of his children, these blokes are in there cos they are dangerous, I don't think it is SO surprising there were elements of crowd control going on. Great doc, either way)

69) Juvenile Court (same dude, early 70s, southern states. Not quite sure why the other ones aren't as well known, probably just cos they're not so starkly shocking. Still very very good though)

70) Exterminating Angel (more Bunuel, jolly good)

71) The Men Who Tread On the Tiger's Tail (BFI binge... shortish Kurosawa, non- essential bit, but well worth a watch)

72) Equinox Flower

73) Late Autumn (couple more quality Ozu ones, the latter more obviously comic)

74) Dinner For One (non-BFI, not notable except for the fact that it appears to be beloved in Europe...which is why I was there. Decent though)

75) Press Your Luck Scandal doc (not sure why it is called a scandal, he won fair & square, but very amusing gameshow history which I was previously unaware of)

76) Saute Ma Ville (back to the BFI...good early Ackerman short, to put me in the mood for...)

77) Hotel Monterey (hour long silent Ackerman tour of drab NY hotel, with noted optical illusions, good for dozing off to. To put me in the mood for...)

78) Jeanne Dielman... (quite obviously not the best film of all time, which claim drew me to it & made me stop after 20 mins the first time, but most certainly not crap either, which brought me back...Far from the enriching endurance test many have suggested - in fact, very watchable. Again, one I have to disagree with many comments on...I don't think she is imprisoned by drudgery or whatever - she says clearly she wanted a place of her own & a child, & while she is turning tricks, she appears to be her own boss, on pretty much her own terms, with regulars who are unlikely to put her in any danger. I suspect most of the viewers are the sort of people who hate & avoid housework & hence see it as drudgery. I may count myself as one of those, but I look after my parents out of choice & it needs doing & is satisfying once it is done...Which seems to be her take as well, leading to a fairly hypnotic experience, far more engaging than a lot of art house twaddle)

79) Video essay about Ackerman

80) Powell archive films doc

81) We the Ragamuffin (great fun half-hour Brit ragga musical from the early 90s)

82) Violent Cop (pretty boss early Takeshi)...end of BFI stint...

83) Eric Satie doc (early 90s Beeb thing...feel like I had seen chunks of this before, but v good anyway)

84) Phoenix Nights (maybe slightly marred by time, but good to see it all at last, great line-up of actors)

85) Rockets Redglare! (FINALLY bagged via a Bluesky correspondent. Fairly low production standards, but he is a great subject and interviewee, and was doomed from the offset)

86) Public Housing (yet more from the Titicut Follies dude...this one is an epic, set in mid-90s Chicago, with ghetto house strains occasionally breaking through)

87) Whores' Glory (great doc on prostitution, filmed in Thailand, Bangladesh & Mexico. Most people seem to find the Mexican post-apocalyptic landscape most depressing, but the squalid Bangladeshi complex with hundreds of prostitutes mauling clients mauling them, many of them clearly underage, was like a vision of Hell)

Custom Corrugated Box Packaging Design: A Strategic Tool for Modern Brands

In today’s competitive marketplace, packaging is more than just a protective shell—it’s an essential branding and marketing tool. For businesses across industries, custom corrugated box packaging offers the perfect balance of functionality, creativity, and sustainability. Whether you're an e-commerce brand, a retail business, or a manufacturer, investing in custom-designed corrugated boxes can transform the way your customers perceive and interact with your product.

This article explores the importance, benefits, design elements, and best practices involved in creating custom corrugated packaging that leaves a lasting impression.

Why Corrugated Boxes?

Corrugated boxes, made from fluted paperboard sandwiched between liners, are widely used due to their durability, light weight, and eco-friendliness. But what makes custom corrugated box design stand out is the ability to:

Reflect brand identity

Enhance unboxing experiences

Improve product protection

Streamline shipping logistics

Reduce packaging waste

With the right design approach, these boxes evolve from plain brown containers into strategic brand assets.

Key Benefits of Custom Corrugated Box Design

1. Strong Brand Presence

Custom printed boxes serve as a mobile billboard. A well-designed box with logos, brand colors, taglines, and unique graphics reinforces your identity at every stage of the delivery process.

2. Enhanced Customer Experience

In the age of social media and unboxing videos, customers crave memorable packaging. Custom corrugated designs can include inserts, messages, and aesthetic elements that elevate the unpacking experience.

3. Tailored Fit for Products

Custom sizing ensures your product is securely housed during transit. This minimizes movement, prevents damage, and reduces the need for excessive void fill like bubble wrap or peanuts.

4. Sustainability

By right-sizing and using recyclable materials, custom corrugated boxes help businesses meet their sustainability goals while reducing shipping volume and waste.

5. Cost Efficiency

Though custom boxes may have a higher upfront cost, they often reduce long-term expenses related to shipping damage, material overuse, and returns.

Design Elements of a Custom Corrugated Box

When designing custom corrugated packaging, brands should pay attention to several elements:

1. Box Style

Corrugated boxes come in various styles depending on their purpose:

Regular Slotted Container (RSC) – Standard shipping box

Die-Cut Boxes – Custom shapes and folds

Mailer Boxes – Common for subscription services and e-commerce

Folding Cartons – Lightweight, retail-ready packaging

2. Materials and Flute Types

Corrugated boards come in different flute sizes (A, B, C, E, F) that affect cushioning, strength, and printability. Material choices also include:

Kraft (Brown or White) – Natural, rustic look or cleaner print surface

Recycled Board – Eco-friendly and cost-effective

Coated Board – Enhanced finish for high-end visual appeal

3. Printing Techniques

You can customize the exterior (and interior) of the box using different print methods:

Flexographic Printing – Best for large runs and simple graphics

Litho-lamination – High-resolution print on a paper liner, ideal for detailed branding

Digital Printing – Great for short runs, variable data, or prototyping

4. Finishing Touches

Enhance the design with:

Spot UV or gloss/matte coatings

Embossing/debossing

Foil stamping

Interior print for added surprise

Die-cut windows or inserts

Steps to Designing a Custom Corrugated Box

Step 1: Understand Your Product

Analyze size, weight, fragility, and shipping conditions. This informs material strength, flute type, and interior support design.

Step 2: Define Your Brand Aesthetic

Clarify your visual language—colors, typography, patterns, and messaging. This ensures consistency across packaging and other marketing assets.

Step 3: Choose Structure and Materials

Work with a packaging engineer or supplier to choose the right box style and corrugated board to match your product and budget.

Step 4: Create the Artwork

Use dielines provided by your packaging supplier. Incorporate brand elements, key messaging, and call-to-actions (e.g., website URL, social handle, recycling info).

Step 5: Prototype and Test

Always create a physical or digital prototype to check fit, finish, and functionality. Test shipping durability when needed.

Custom Corrugated Packaging Across Industries

E-commerce

Subscription boxes, apparel, cosmetics, and electronics benefit from right-sized mailers with branding and secure interiors.

Retail

Custom shelf-ready corrugated packaging increases visual impact and provides both protection and promotion on store shelves.

Food & Beverage

Special coatings and inserts ensure perishables are delivered fresh and intact, while printed branding supports storytelling.

Tech & Electronics

Protective yet sleek corrugated packaging enhances customer trust and communicates quality.

Sustainability in Custom Corrugated Design

Today's customers expect environmentally responsible packaging. Incorporate the following to make your custom design eco-friendly:

Use recycled and recyclable materials

Opt for water-based or soy-based inks

Avoid lamination or mixed materials

Encourage reuse with dual-purpose box designs

Print recycling instructions or sustainability messages

Going green not only benefits the planet—it enhances your brand’s credibility and appeal.

Conclusion

Custom corrugated box packaging design offers far more than a shipping solution—it’s an opportunity to communicate your brand, protect your products, and create a positive customer experience. With thoughtful design, sustainable materials, and smart branding, your packaging can become a powerful tool that sets you apart from competitors and leaves a lasting impact on your audience.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your packaging strategy, investing in custom corrugated design is a forward-thinking move that pays off in both brand value and customer satisfaction.

Regular packaging just protects stuff. Custom shipping boxes can do so much more. They can build a better brand. They can also get customers to buy again.

Minimum order quantities affect the price too. Ordering more usually means cheaper prices. A complicated design will also raise the cost.

(ARTS365) Week Seven Progress

Voice Memos: Continuing to Plan & Experiment with Hearing Aid Packaging Design & Artist Book Planning

If you know anything about me, you would understand how quickly I can lose an idea if I don’t write it down on paper. However, even halfway through writing something down, I tend to lose my train of thought very quickly. Since the beginning of this semester, I have been using my phone's voice memo feature to record my ideas, so I can listen back to them during my creative process. To be honest, I originally got this idea from listening to the numerous voice memos of Taylor Swift, where she records herself discussing ideas for new songs and tracks. I may not be a brilliant singer like Taylor Swift, but I must admit that this process has been extremely helpful in keeping track of my thoughts and ideas as they come to me.

I feel a bit mortified about posting these voice memos on my Tumblr, especially with the possibility of my professor listening to them. However, after seven weeks of writing lengthy Tumblr posts to break down my ideas and provide detailed accounts of my creative process, I figured it would be more effective to share these recordings for now. Maybe it’s because this week has been incredibly productive yet tiring at the same time, but I believe these memos offer a clearer insight into my thoughts regarding packaging design and artist book progress. I might continue to post these recordings more often, as they are very effective in conveying my raw creative ideas in real time.

Anyway, enjoy these voice memos that break down my ideas! Following them are some photographs to serve as inspiration for my progress in packaging and artist book design.

Process Inspiration: Designing Packaging for New Hearing Aid Users: Adults, Children...the Elderly? - Square box, magnetic lid that folds back, two cardboard dividers, holds charger, case with hearing aids inside, comes with a directions booklet, mental health pamphlet and/or message located somewhere on the box, and is designed to fit the three audience categories.

Designing In Real Time: First Live Sample

This week, alongside our work on packaging design and progress on artist books, students were assigned a live design sample to sell a random idea using graphic design skills. The purpose of this exercise was to replicate a real-life industry experience, which often requires designers to produce work under tight time constraints during the hiring process. It was also a way to test students' ability to make split-second decisions and defend those design choices afterwards.

Honestly, I felt stressed about this exercise at first because I didn't know what to expect. I had never done a live design sample before, but I'm grateful for the opportunity. It showed me that I could make quick design decisions and support my choices afterward.

Looking back, there are definitely aspects of the poster design that I would change. However, I’m proud that I created something bold and eye-catching without crumbling under the pressure. I never imagined I would be attempting to sell a rotten apple, but this design challenge is one I will always remember!

In-Class Pitch: Rotten Apple - The Product that Sells Itself

Original Idea: to sell the rotten apple as a gag gift for pranks. This idea shifted to a bolder, more graphic, eye-catching poster style that can be made into a rotten fruit poster series that grabs the audience's attention.

Think of a rotten apple as a "limited edition apple," as every rotten apple is slightly different, and can only be rotten for so long before it decomposes and is gone forever. So get them while you still can!

A transparent marketing approach: don't make it something it is not! It sells itself, and plays into that rotten element!

It has many uses:

Great gag gift

Excellent from compost

Feed to your animals - pigs and chickens love them!

Even better: throw it away! - don't let me tell you what to do!

Transparent marketing tends to be successful because you are being true to what your product actually is. We are not trying to fool our audience or establish any distrust with our consumers.

Poster Series: graphic, street, grungy style that plays into the rotten element of the apple

Color palette - yellow and black: bold, high contrast that is eye-catching and grabs the audience's attention from a distance.

It can be seen on the streets of a city, at a recycling center that collects compost materials, or at an apple farm to serve as an additional source of revenue/an additional market to make money without throwing their rotten apples away.

Clear hierarchy and balance of graphic elements and typography: 

1. "Sale! Limited Edition Apple"

2. "Only $0.50!"

3. Graphic of a rotten apple radiating from starburst shape

4. Its uses and slogan at the bottom of the page

Overall goal: sell rotten apples for what they are in an eye-catching way with a transparent marketing message.

Assigned Reading: Finding the Balance Between Free Speech and Censorship by Steven Heller

In a troubling time when much of what is happening in the world and within our own government feels oppressive, I can't help but notice the parallels between Steven's experience with censorship and the current state of free speech in our political and social climate. The section that really caught my attention was his closing statement: "The job of an informed graphic designer is to make these kinds of judgment calls. Yet the underlying rationales are important if we are to preserve freedom. Designers have a responsibility to do no harm. But defining the parameters of that responsibility must be carefully considered."

Honestly, I feel like I am repeating myself each week in these readings, but the messages about freedom of speech in design and the responsibility we have as designers to combat censorship are crucial, especially as these rights seem to be getting taken away day by day. I still remember witnessing this kind of censorship firsthand on Instagram a few months ago. Sharon McMahon, a historian and government teacher I follow, had her social media post and video about Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech taken down, labeled as sensitive content inappropriate for Instagram. A Martin Luther King Jr. video, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day! What on earth??? Since then, I’ve seen other designers I follow get their posts censored for speaking out against racism and transphobia, including a GIF with typographic art addressing these issues. It’s hard to believe that Instagram has suddenly started randomly flagging these kinds of content, especially after an executive order was signed banning DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives and enforcing gender ideology. This felt like more than just a coincidence, and it was incredibly disappointing to see censorship on a platform I’ve used since I was a teenager. It made me question whether there’s any hope left for creatives on the platform.

While some of these creatives have tried to dispute the censorship and repost their work, if this trend continues, what does that mean for freedom of speech on the platform? Perhaps we need to keep creating work that elevates our voices and makes our messages heard. We must speak out against blatant censorship and not be afraid to stand up for what we believe is right. Even if the world seems upside down right now, we cannot surrender to fear and anxiety, we must continue to fight.

5. RSC in Finance: Risk-Share Capital (RSC)

In the financial world, RSC may stand for Risk-Share Capital, which refers to a financial model where investors share the risks and rewards of a business venture. This is a common practice in venture capital and private equity investments, where the risks of new or growing businesses are distributed among several investors.

Benefits of Risk-Share Capital (RSC):

Shared Risk: By pooling resources, investors can mitigate individual risk while still having the potential for high returns.

Encouraging Innovation: Risk-share capital models make it easier for startups and entrepreneurs to access the necessary funding for innovation and expansion.

Flexible Investment Models: Investors in RSC models often have more flexible terms, with some ventures offering profit-sharing or equity-based models.

6. RSC in Healthcare: Radiology Services Corporation (RSC)

In the healthcare industry, RSC can stand for Radiology Services Corporation, a company that specializes in providing radiology services, such as medical imaging and diagnostics, to healthcare facilities.
