    uniE621 EXOTEAC – From Concept to Shelf: Creating an Exotic Tea Brand
    EXOTEAC is more than just a tea – it’s a sensory journey. From the initial concept to the final packaged product, I developed the entire brand design independently: including the brand identity, product design, packaging, and retail presentation. The goal was clear – to create an exotic tea brand that sparks curiosity and delivers a unique, immersive experience. Brand Identity – Where Discovery Begins The name EXOTEAC embodies adventure, nature, and exploration. With the tagline “where discovery begins,” the brand invites consumers to embark on a flavorful journey inspired by exotic places and cultural richness. The visual identity captures this spirit through vibrant illustrations, tropical elements, and a fresh, clean design language. Every detail – from typography to color palette – was chosen to express authenticity, joy, and a touch of the unknown. Innovative Packaging – Designed for Experience The packaging was developed to be more than just functional – it’s part of the experience. Opening the box feels like discovering a hidden treasure. Inside, the tea capsules are individually presented, with a consistent and visually appealing design that enhances the unboxing moment. Sustainable materials were used to reflect the brand’s natural ethos, and the structure ensures strong visual impact both online and on the shelf. Sustainability and Quality EXOTEAC combines visual creativity with a strong commitment to sustainability. The packaging is fully recyclable, and the teas are produced with organic and ethically sourced ingredients. The product reflects a mindful, modern lifestyle – appealing to consumers who care about both health and the planet. Augmented Reality – Bringing the Brand to Life A standout feature is the integration of augmented reality. By scanning the QR code on the box, customers can access a digital experience that adds an interactive, story-driven layer to the product. This innovative feature strengthens the emotional connection to the brand and provides educational, entertaining content – turning tea into a discovery. Shelf Presence – Standing Out with Storytelling The product was designed to grab attention. With its bold tropical visuals, clear messaging, and premium look, EXOTEAC creates immediate shelf impact. The cohesive, eye-catching packaging line creates visual harmony while telling a story that stands out in the competitive tea market. packagingdesign brandidentity productdesign adobeillustrator adobephotoshop artioscad creativepackaging visualstorytelling sustainablepackaging logodesign designportfolio structuralpackaging teabrand 3dpackaging packaginginnovation
    uniE621 RollingGrapes – Wine Packaging Meets Skate Culture
    From Design Sketch to Prepress and Product Photography: RollingGrapes is a wine brand that breaks with tradition by fusing the elegance of wine with the rebellious spirit of skate culture. I developed the entire design from scratch – from the first concept and brand identity to the packaging design and prepress. I also designed the brand’s logo, capturing the dynamic energy of a skater in motion while holding a wine bottle – a symbol of balance between movement and indulgence. The visual identity is clean yet expressive, combining minimalist illustrations with bold typography. The color palette was carefully chosen to reflect the wine itself, creating a strong and cohesive link between product and packaging. The label design features a unique vertical layout with hidden messaging around the edges, challenging traditional expectations and making the bottle a true eye-catcher on the shelf. packagingdesign winebranding brandidentity logodesign teampackaging adobeillustrator adobephotoshop adobedimension printing diecutting skateculture creativelabeldesign minimalistic productlaunch graphicdesign labeldesign independentdesign modernwinelabel
    uniE621 PACK.FACT – Clarifying Packaging Myths on Instagram
    PACK.FACT is a dedicated Instagram platform focused on debunking common myths about packaging — covering materials, sustainability, recycling, and more. For this project, I developed the entire visual identity from scratch, including the logo design, post templates, and content creation until January 2024 Logo Design – Minimalism with Meaning The PACK.FACT logo is a sleek, minimalist representation of a box, directly referencing packaging. Within this icon, the letters “P” and “F” are cleverly integrated in a subtle yet striking way, emphasizing the brand’s focus on packaging facts without relying on additional typography. The simple geometric form communicates clarity, reliability, and modernity. Consistent Visual System – Templates that Educate and Engage I designed a series of Instagram post templates that balance clean lines, bold icons, and a harmonious color palette. This consistent look ensures that each post is instantly recognizable while making complex packaging topics easy to understand. The templates encourage users to explore, learn, and rethink common misconceptions. Content Creation – Making Packaging Knowledge Accessible Content was crafted to translate technical packaging information into engaging, digestible formats. From infographics to interactive posts, each piece maintains a professional yet approachable tone. The goal is to empower the community with trustworthy facts and foster meaningful conversations. Impact – Building Awareness Through Design PACK.FACT combines thoughtful design and well-researched content to stand out in the packaging and sustainability space on social media. The project demonstrates how visual clarity and content quality can drive awareness, promote transparency, and inspire sustainable thinking in packaging. packagingdesign logodesign brandidentity socialmediadesign contentcreation minimalistlogo visualsystem packagingeducation sustainability creativecontent instagrambranding
