I guess many thought it was perfect, but it was too perfect that it didn’t really connect with the customers too well. They ended up trying to find a personality for the mermaid itself to make her more humanly. Throughout the redesigns, she seems to be more and more simplified.

shea moisture SheaMoisture products are curly hair products specifically for curly—haired people. Could they branch out to other hair types like wavy or straight? Yes, they could, but because they primarily focus on curly hair and wanting to make sure there’s a variety for curly hair people alone while also making it cheaper than the professional hair products, they gained loyalty and enthusiasts with their brands.

They use foods that’ll give their consumers a boost in their day by eating bites or a bar of their products. They also have a reputation for having really dry foods, which could be a good and bad thing for the consumers. But if they’re buying more, then they gained consumers’ loyalty with their dry food products.

TrendHunter One of the consumer trends I see while scanning through TrendHunter is making the packages and products more environmentally friendly. One of the articles I clicked into is the “Plastic-Free Paper Food Packaging” which I later read on about “Eco-Friendly Plane Meals”. Even with brands that already have an established packaging, some are looking to make some eco-friendly packaging to make consumers be more loyal and adhere to their brand.

emotional approach For the more emotional approach, it’s pretty much figuring out the demographics’ needs and wants within the brand itself. This can influence product development and packaging design. The packaging design could be terrible, but the moral and value of the brand could make up for the bad design. I remember during the first couple of weeks, Great Value was mentioned and it was stated that their morals and values were the best of the group that was shown. Even if the design isn’t the best, the design showed what they represent, a cheaper option of the products, and that’s the main reason why people buy their products.

Glossier is very popular with the current generations because of their emotional approach with ditching the traditional, regular beauty standards and going for a more natural look with makeup. They’re following a trend that’s becoming more popular nowadays.

Although other brands may have this mission also, this is Glossier’s main mission, unlike other makeup brands which makes it a secondary mission. Their aestheticallypleasing and minimalistic packaging also entice consumers to buy their products.

conclusion Design is one thing, but nowadays, the brands’ values and stories can make or break the products and packaging. Especially with the rising generations that care more about their values and needs being cared for, brands are now constantly trying to make sure that their consumers are satisfied with their values and their products.

OCTOBER

packaging cases Hai Chau’s Confectionary One of the packages that drew me in was Hai Chau’s confectionery packaging for mooncakes. Usually, with Asian confectionary, there’s a deeply rooted story behind some of them, and these mooncakes are no different.

The illustrations and details of the packaging are really beautiful, the gold lining made it really pop out. The illustrations were supposed to, in a way, but the regular, traditional packaging back behind them and bring a fresher design to these packages. This was a collaboration between Tree Studios and Not Yet Famous, and they wanted to showcase the timeless values of these mooncakes through these illustrations: togetherness, appreciation, and respect.

critique: Hai Chau’s Confectionary I almost wished the the outside metal containers had some sort of gold lining to them to make it fit with the other parts of the packaging with this brand. But overall, the illustrations ties everything together because it conveys the story of the mooncakes. I don’t think the design is a lot since that’s the narrative they’re trying to showcase anyways.

Bee—Fee vs 12 Bees The other packaging that got me intrigued is Opus B Brand Design with Bee-Fee. The shape is in a hexagon, something that’s commonly associated with bees’ homes. They’re not only trying to sell organic honey but make a statement about why they’re selling it and why consumers should buy their honey. The top half of the packaging is glass, full of organic honey. Yet the bottom half is actually a flower pot. This brand encourages people to plant flowers in the pots and leave it outside, and this is to help bees since they are endangered— by expanding their ecosystems in the cities and reproducing.

JUICY Another design that caught my eye was Xian Gao Peng’s JUICY + apple juice concentrate packaging. The package is in the shape of an apple, showing both the outside and inside of the apple itself. I really appreciate the colors of the apples and the butterfly top the apples have. I also thought it was clever to have the crisscross wrap that is often on fruits (I don’t typically see them in American markets but I see them a lot in Asian markets) to have the same feeling as it would carry if they were in crates. The packaging material and the detail itself are really elegant and the fact that the material is paper makes it even more well done and can speak to the consumers that look for aesthetically pleasing products and eco—friendly packaging.

critique: JUICY The only thing I have to say is I would want to see more types of designs and variations of other fruits and see how that looks. Since the product is juice concentrate, I would like to see other fruit juice concentrate and whether it’ll have the same packaging style and the same butterfly top or if the top will be different for each product.

structural change For the structural change, I wanted the package to be pourable. Although I love the wide packaging, I noticed that most of their packaging is wide, so it’s not convenient for an on—the—go snack. I desired the packaging to at least be half or a little over half the width of their original packages. I debated on whether to do a box packaging like Raisenets or stick to their bag packaging. In the end, I chose the bag because, for the idea of on—the—go snacks, the bag option is more holdable in one hand rather than the box. Plus, someone could put it in their car cup holder if they wanted to snack while driving.

creative brief: Edea Redesign Business Situation Introduce Edea to retail/pro shops as an “expansion” for their business. Edea is only based in Italy, and so selling their skates outside of that country is through a third-party dealers.

Overview Edea is a figure skating company that has a factory that’s stationed in a little village at the foot of the Alps. The italians that own the company focuses on innovation, Italian style, and modern craftsmanship that embodies the production of these skating boots. They use manmade materials instead of leather and wood like the regular skate boots are made from to make the skates lighter and have a longer longevity for the skaters.

Objectives My objective is to redesign the packaging of the skates boots that fits the names for each skates itself and make the cohesive as a whole line itself, and make them more marketable and more aesthetically pleasing for the audience that are looking for skates. I’m also looking to redesign the packaging for the accessories too and how they can all meld together within Edea’s line and make it so that the audience also buys the accessories along with the skates.

My last objective is to also think about the packaging standpoint for third party shipping internationally and how they’re translated internationally, and within the retail/pro shops locally.

Audience The audience is particularly for skaters who are looking to get different types of skates, or people that are getting into skating.

Deliverables Presentation with showing the process of the redesign: sketches, packages, research, etc.

final Overall, I did the best that I could. My main goal for this project was to focus on the packaging, and then everything else becomes secondary. I got the general idea for the route I wanted to go and I feel like I achieved that very well. I sectioned the final project into three parts: international shipping, regular shipping, and then take home shipping (display boxes). The extra stuff is included within those sections.
