"Bottles and graphics for two mass-market colognes distributed by Mercadona stores nationwide. The bottles (750ml) are made out of coloured translucent plastic. A modern design with an air of sophistication."

Alton Brown

Jageland Hampus, a Swedish designer, has developed a spice range targeted towards the visually impaired:

"I decided to create an identity, packaging, and product design, which is suitable for blind people as well as visually impaired. Blind people cook just as much as people who are visually able, but to make it easier for them, they use a number of different methods including placing text in Braille on all of their products.

The identity logo I designed for the ingredient range is made out of the Braille representation of the letters ‘a’ and ‘b’. Consequently, by only using the elements that is building up the regular letters ‘a’ and ‘b’, Hampus communicated the name of the ingredient range in a strong and simplistic way, which both can be read by blind and visual able."

9.60

9.60 is a Men's line of cosmetic products, designed by Lavernia & Cienfuegos:

"A mass-market range of cosmetic products for men that are exclusively distributed in more than 1000 supermarkets of the Spanish chain MERCADONA. This basic line of cosmetics is related to concepts such as being fit, playing sport, exercising… The design of the package tries to reinforce these concepts. The name brings out the idea of a sport record, and the package makes reference to the morphology of the muscle. All the 100 ml and 200 ml containers were design with an ergonomic shape and fabricated in flexible plastic so they are very resistant and they can be carried in a sport bag."

Each case can be remove and re-attach from the belt of panels. The belt of panels can be opened up and use as vertical hanger to store these cases in case emergency shelters have minimal storage space. "

Comotú

More work from Lavernia & Cienfuegos.

"The collection of mass-market fragrances COMOTÚ, designed for Mercadona, was aimed to be a simple product, in harmony with its price, but with a surprising presentation. In order to achieve a good brand image and minimize the costs of production, only one bottle design was used for the eight different fragrances, four in black for men and four in white for women. The distinct fragrances can be differentiated thanks to the different colours of their tops.

The shape of the bottle is rounded and curved, and the packages show shiny and metallic colours.

The final design both of the bottle and its package has the gift to transmit high quality and modernity at a competitive price. It proves that a mass-market product with a good design can be very successful."
