Packaging: Bread & Butter Pantry

Packaging design is always a delightful process to me, and all packaging projects have their own unique requirements and challenges. The challenge for this project was to come up with a cost effective packaging solution for the client's new range of on-the-shelf products, but still stay true to the traditional vintage personality of the brand, and establish a clear differentiation system between the various flavours. The focus fell on sensitive typography treatment and various colours for setting the flavours apart. View more design from Dialogue8 here.

Packaging: Two Hoots wine labels

It's a hoot! In fact, its Two Hoots! Perth based designer Maegan Brown has graduated from the Curtin University of Technology in 2011, and already has a fantastic portfolio to show.

One of our favorite projects is called Two Hoots; label and packaging design for a range of wines. To capture the individual character and flavours of the wines, Meagan assigned an owl to each of the wines, and with the use of wood and earth-tone textures, she generated a heartwarming, playful and earthy character for the product. Just like a wine should be. It will surely drive us to drink just because it's so marvelously crafted!

Packaging: Lucha Libre beer labels

There is so much fun to have with the iconic Mexican Lucha Libre, but thís put a broad smile on our faces!

Cervecería Sagrada's brand identity has been created by the Mexican graphic designer José Guizar. He drew inspiration from lucha in the 1950's, and each beer has been appropriately named after a fictional charachter: Black King for Imperial Stout, Blond Gomez for Lager and The Vampire's Son for Red Ale. You can therefore choose your poison, or in this case, choose your wrestling ring alias!
