Stejar Beer
"Stejar was launched by SAB Miller in 2005 as the first stand alone Strong beer brand. (with a higher alcohol content than regular products). After a year and a half the company wanted to evolve the package into a new variant, with lower alcohol, that would grow the brand outside the strong beers niche and bridge the gap between regular beers and strong beers, in order to capture a bigger slice of the market share. The price positioning was upper-mainstream.
Our approach was simple: we dived deep into men’s universe and gather from there all the things men treasure. So we designed a shiny 3D package and logo based on sports team imagery, car logotypes, watches, carbon fibre textures from racing cars, and military heraldic. We built a new, heavier and more masculine typeface for the logotype, place it on a dark red flag and we choose desaturated gold metallic to build a design reminding of automotive logos and expensive watches engravings."

Food Lovers
Work winner of the competition of IED in Packaging Design for the course of 2009/10: The idea of this project is to promote a more healthy food consumption and, concurrently, to also promote sustainable local agriculture, which involves methods that do not harm the environment, respect workers and animals, provide fair wages to farmers and support farming communities.
I have created a brand for a little market, that sells products of its own farm. Is called FOOD LOVERS. This brand is for people who appreciate tasty food, like to know where they came from, and care about all the elements involved in its production. The typography was created after a research on little markets, where the products are traditionally mentioned on a blackboard, in large separated letters written with a piece of chalk.
The idea of the hand in the brand come up because it is the greatest instrument that a person needs to do cooking. With thehand the sauce is tasted, the salt is sprinkled, the dough is kneaded, the quantity of oil is controlled, the limon is squeezed, the bread is sliced, and so on. The changing symbol shows the movement of the hole process of cooking. The hands interact with the typography of chalk, “tasting” and “preparing” it, as if it was fresh food, came right from the farm."

A La Petite Ferme
DesignersJourney, who we previously featured as a Studio Spotlight
"Nominated at Visuelt 09, norways largest competition for visual communication. Madiran in South-West France is a simple countryside area as opposed to surrounding wine departments, often characterized by chateau´s and castles.
The idea was to transmit an unpretentious "every day feeling" and to open a window to the smells, sounds and impressions of a simple life in the countryside. We wanted to create an identity that would reflect this authentic background by melting humor and pairing suggestions with intimate and nostalgic values. The client wished to transmit this rustic atmosphere."

AC/DC Backtracks Deluxe Collector's Edition
"The exterior box is designed to resemble a vintage AC/DC guitar amp – complete with the original logo that was spray-painted onto the rear of Angus and Malcolm’s speaker cabinets in 1975. The “head” of the amp has a handle that lifts the top off to reveal the contents housed within. Oh yeah, the head is also a WORKING GUITAR AMPLIFIER! That’s right, one watt of pure AC/DC makes this box a truly unique collector’s item. You can PLAY the box set while LISTENING TO the box set! Check out the videos of Angus using the amp.
The box, which includes 3 CDs and 2 DVDs of ACDC rare tracks, recordings and videos, also includes a 12" LP, numerous memorabilia reproductions as well as a 164-page hard bound book containing rare and unseen photos spanning 1974-2009 plus full-size re-prints of original press releases, tour itineraries, tour books, test pressing labels, advertisements and much more. A real history of the band from the inside out. Rare photography includes never-before-seen shots of the band recording at the Albert Music studio on King Street in Sydney with legendary producers Harry Vanda and George Young in 1977. Also tons of unpublished live shots from all over the world."
Designed by Phil Yarnall of SMAY DESIGN over a 2 year period. Check out the back of the box after the jump!
