BRIEF Designing a corporate identity and a website for people living in Shanghai to order online organic food from organic farms working in and around Shanghai.
RESEARCH GOALS • How is a organic farm working? • Where are the farms? • Who is the farmer? (His needs, wants and his position in the society) • What are the social and institutional barriers for the farmer? • Needs and wants of the consumer? • Competition? Comparison to other online ordering food websites. • Understand relationship between farmers and buyers. • What payment system could work? (Online-payment-systems are tricky in China)
ON FIELD RESEARCH We went to one of the organic farmer already involved in the process of selling boxes of organic vegetables and delivery at home of the costumers.

The fast economical and population growth force the production in a mass way and the concept of organic food is lost.

IDENTITY CONCEPT After lots of sketches and getting to know our main stakeholder, the farmer, we felt ready to design the logo. We combined an M for market with the heart, symbolizing the passion of every stakeholder for organic food. Because of the leaf the heart switches in his appearance between fruit and heart to catch the viewers attention. The heart can be used to show amazing pictures related to the organic food, or to categorize for instance between different areas of food.
1st PROTOTYPE AND EVOLUTION
ONLINE SURVEY Half buy food online as well, snacks, milk, foreign imported food, beverages, fruits, instant noodles. 40% do not trust buying food online but 60% do. Everybody heard of organic food before. Everybody would like to visit a farm where organic food is grown. Food quality is important for everybody.
EXPERT CONSULTANT Scott Ballantyne is engaged into entrepreneurship and marketing, so he knows how to sell and get peoples attention. For six years now he is in Shanghai, so he could tell us how chinese people use websites and think about organic food. Be better in distribution and marketing than the farmers are. Only 1 box with four different sizes and prices. Combine website and interactive map, farms and hubs could be showed as well. Use website combined to map to create a community. keep it as simple as possible, focus on selling the box, like Amazon only one opportunity to click.
