From the Forest of Rusk

From the Forest of Rusk is a packaging design for a rusk snack sold in supermarkets and mass retailers in Japan.

The size of the eyes, nose and mouth was adjusted in millimetres to make each character appealing. The package measures 140 by 210 by 40 millimetres. New animals can be added as new flavours are introduced.

Gujing

Gujing is a packaging design created for a cultural and creative product inspired by Sanxingdui. The design combines Sanxingdui bronze culture with the Gujing brand. A bronze mask is refined into a simple visual symbol and applied to both the box and the bottle.

The bottle surface carries the texture of a bronze mask, which strengthens the visual effect. The aim is to present Sanxingdui culture in a distinctive and memorable form.

Wildheart Organics

A premium look for an impeccably organic scented soy candle line. The idea was to break into higher-end retailers with a look that would stand up to the quality of the product, to be communicated through the product livery. Material selection and finishes are key to consumers' perceptions, from both an initial impression to a second more considered evaluation. The colours used are derived from the plants and herbs that make each of the fragrances. The illustrations have an ethereal quality, alluding to scent dissipating into the air as a candle burns.
