Final Major Project - Stage 2

Final Major Project - Stage 2
Exploring the issues of packaging design in other cultures. Globally 
Using research gathered in Stage 1, four ready-to-drink cocktail products were produced in order to demonstrate the differences between globally and locally-branded products. Vitello uses the universal aspiration of Space to target a global audience, while the three local products (Yakutsk Ice, Iskylaren and Snow Crystal) all target young professionals in their respective cities of Moscow, Stockholm and Tokyo. A winter theme was used in all local products to promote and differentiate the design characteristics of each country. The global product features refined design elements and a strong bottle shape, the Russian product consists of a strong brand story with history and heritage, the Swedish product demonstrates modernity and cleanliness with good design aesthetics, while the Japanese product shows a vibrant image-rich solution in order to compete in a busy retail context. This final University project has pushed my abilities and it was fascinating to both research and design for different cultures.
