Cigarette Pack Design Concept of the Day: The St. Petersburg Times asked DJ Stout of the design firm Pentagram to imagine what he might offer cigarette manufacturers worried about recently-signed legislation that severely restricts their marketing efforts, and forces them to enhance the warning labels that appear on cigarette packs.
