Wholly Holy Granoly stems from the group A Taste for Life, founded by Rebecca Santilli, a certified health coach, life-stylist and tastemaker.
VISION
To keep life juicy and fun through good taste in styleand nutrition. Healthy doesn’t have to be boring!
Design Challenge: To find a balance between something that is wholesome, healthy and pure with elements of play, wit and humor.
Design Solution: We incorporated a citrus inspired palette with modern styled typography and ‘figgin’ clever’ names for a wholesome yet playful feel. (I wish I could take credit for those ‘oh-riginal’ flavor names but those were all my vivacious client.) The shape of citrus slices inspired the wave pattern that was applied to our packaging labels
