Glamourising Death by Design - Toppers Print and Design

Has anyone seen the packaging for 'Marlboro black'?

Very sinister design, reminds me of something out of a Robert Rodriguez film.

What is the second packaging shot that says 'half of cigarette users eventually die'? I generally assumed that all cigarette users eventually die... along with everybody else. Oh, and death IS cool, just ask a goth :icon_wink:

Well the style of it just comes across to me as rather quite comical. Instead of showing photographs of blackened flesh and other graphic imagery they've decided to theme their identity around 'death'. I could imagine these being collectables and becoming cult imagery.

This is not a very original idea
these have been around for ages! and seem very similar.

Ahh, I remember those being sold at festivals in the 90s.
