The series features unique flavor combinations such as pink champagne, caviar, saffron, and polar salt. With the design kept to a minimal, the label allows the consumer to quickly determine the percentage of cocoa and flavor profile.

Rakijateka, Distilling Company
Student
Rakijateka is a fictional, small family distillery which produces high-quality brandy. In Serbia fruit brandies are commonly known as Rakija, and the most popular flavours are Šljiva - made from plums, Loza - made from grapes, Dunja - made from quince... It is widely known in Serbia, that rakia (serb. rakija) has been always considered a traditional cure, which is the main reason why she became a part of the "home pharmacy system" in almost every household. Many believe that besides being able to lift up your mood, helps in better digestion and elimination of various types of pain. But whether can rakija really cures diseases or these are just empty beliefs and secret desires, will remain debatable and each of us is given the right whether to believe it or not.
"The name of the distillery is actually a play of words - Serbian word for pharmacy is "Apoteka". The whole concept is based exactly on these common folk beliefs and supposed to have a touch of humor in it. The aim was to create such a brand that will at the same time be modern and tradition-oriented, so as to be interesting and meet the needs of all generations, both young and elders. The names of different flavors derive from the fruits they are made of and the name of the specific medicine, because in my country we see this brandy more like a cure than the regular alcoholic drink. That's why each flavor is meant to "cure" symptoms of various "diseases" that are related to everyday problems: mood swings, worries, stress, broken hearts, disappointment."

Voka-dot
Concept
Perfect for a bachelorette or birthday celebration. Designed by Den Dodson, imported organic vodka is produced in small batches free from synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. Embellished with polka-dots against a bright red background, this bottle of vodka is hard to miss on supermarket shelves. The label tells the story of how the spirit is produced with its while a small handle on the cap adds a unique feature not seen on traditionally on spirit packaging.
The overall design is inviting and falls under the "Shelf-Life" trend: shifting in the mind of the customer from disposability to keepability and from a tendency to hide the objects to a pride in sharing them.

Dalia
Concept
Dalia is a Greek company which products cosmetics for women and sells worldwide. Dalia's goal is to create natural cosmetics, no animal tested, with old fashion granny style and elegant, since it addresses to all kinds of ages through its shop and its website. The final brand name was the Dalia. Direct and with no excesses it gives us the impression that is talking about a natural perfumed product. Design could be directed more freely to give the concept result. The font was designed by hand and its a curved font respect to the women figure. A particularity of the logo that makes the font more recognizable is the circle that is cut from the letter "a".The circle represent the woman form and the liquid sense of the product. To create this old fashion style, I designed several flowers and a dalia to decorate my designs. This will make easier to understand that our product is natural, cosmetic and for women.
