Creating and presenting a brand of hops flavoured lemonade, a category of drinks that did not exist on our market at the time.

Solution

Unusual beverage like this one needed unusual communication. We came up with a brand name that is very provocative in Croatian and adjusted brand story and visual identity accordingly. Focus of the campaign became Mr. HOPA CUPA, confident rabbit with irresistible charm, face of our brand. We rounded up the story with modern graphic style, unbeatable combination of yellow and black colours and herbal details of lemon and hops to accentuate unique composition of the product. The consumer’s respond was excellent.

Packaging redesign of the iconic Plazma biscuit, the favourite brand in Serbia. The challenge was to keep the recognisable elements of the Plazma packaging, while freshening it up with modern design and product presentation. 

Solution

The unique taste and form of Plazma biscuits have thrilled people of all generations for more that 50 years. We gave the iconic Original packaging of this delicious and crunchy classic a makeover freshening it up with a modern design which is still dominated by the recognisable red colour and irresistible Plazma biscuit. The biscuit presentation was changed in order to look more attractive and appetising. In addition, the packaging of salty biscuit Plazma Slana was visually improved and thus adjusted it to the Original line.

With that in mind, we created – Festo, the high quality sparkling wine for celebrating most important moments.

Solution

Wine has always been connecting people, no matter what the occasion. The beauty of bonding is in every single drop of this wine which is bringing together different landscapes, generations, cultures, people and customs. That’s why it is called Vezak (from the verb “to bind”), and its label is made of fine embroidery in the form of crane – the guardian of Daruvar.

Solution

An orange-flavoured fizzy drink that enjoyed near-cult status in the 1980s, and has retained a distinctive retro charm along with the image of Pipi girl who remains at the center of the label. The philosophy of the brand that celebrates carefree moments, reflected in the modern illustration and modular background where we show different moments of summer relaxation and playfulness.

The new design is adorned with an illustration of one of the world’s most famous illustrators, Mads Berg.

Task

To devise a design for Franck Cool Up! tea essence beverage.

Solution

Franck Cool Up! is a tea essence beverage made from natural ingredients that serves as a great alternative to other carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. While designing the label, we were guided by the idea of natural touch and gentleness, which inspired us to turn to watercolour technique. The idea of mixing water and colour is conceptually close to the functional element of preparing, i.e. the mixing of Cool Up! beverage with water. This resulted in sachets and boxes that tell you right away they contain a real natural masterpiece of refreshment.

Assignment

To design the packaging for the limited edition of the Walter Wolf cigarettes.

Solution

Pulse limited edition is intended for a younger, urban and more demanding audience. This is the reason why we have decided to portrait the speed, passion and individuality inherent to this brand as directly as possible. The view from a sports car racing through the streets, which is depicted on the package, is sending a clear message that anyone who reaches for the package is ready for an adventure that makes life more exciting, more challenging and worth living.

Task

To devise a design for superior quality teas to help Franck take the tradition of drinking Franck teas in cafés to a whole new level.

Solution

The uniqueness of every cup of tea, and of the very ritual of making tea, had to be reflected in the design of the label. Every element in the pack, from tea bag holder to tea bag box, has its functional purpose and reflects the qualities that make this brand of teas different – the elegance, refinement and exclusivity. The dark background, the simple lines and the careful colouring form a well-balanced whole, which lets those who enjoy tea know that they no longer have to pursue their quest for perfect pleasure – Franck Superiore gives everyone their perfect cup of tea.

Assignment

To redesign the Héritage line of the Favarger chocolates

Solution

The Héritage line of chocolates was produced in the Favarger manufacture by using traditional production methods that have for the last two centuries been a guarantee of the highest quality and finest taste which only Swiss chocolate can provide. We have chosen a wrapping that fits this line perfectly – as the main visual identity we have used a vintage-style illustration of boys having lived in the 19th century, the period which indeed is the origin of this line of chocolate. Pastel colors and a special kind of paper that perfectly suit that age complete the whole story by their traditional appearance befitting for a chocolate that proudly wishes to accentuate its heritage.

Task

To develop and design packaging of a food supplement which helps relieve the symptoms of menopause.

Solution

Every woman going through menopause needs a break, and this innovative pharmaceutical product with capsules for day and night provides just that. We took the capsules out of the box and turned them into a pause symbol on the box, and we completed the design by using the gold and purple colour which are symbolically linked to the femininity of maturity. The result is a packaging which sends a clear message to its potential users of what they should do when they wish to take a break from menopause.

Assignment

Redesign the label of Sokol beer

Solution

After a hard day of work, people who are engaged in traditional occupations need some delicious refreshment. Sokol beer is designed exactly for them, but despite it’s initial success in the market, the design had to be refreshed. We have introduced elements of PLETER that emphasize tradition, we put more emphasis on the picture of barley that testifies to the quality, and the head of the falcon and the name were merged together, giving the impression of outspread wings. The falcon (Sokol) can proudly continue its flight.

Assignment

Design a metal cigarette case that fits the spirit of the Walter Wolf brand.

Solution

Speed, passion and hedonism, values that characterize Walter Wolf, always went hand in hand with a high class and sophisticated design. This cigarette case could not be an exception, thus the material it was made of was carefully chosen, the design is sophisticated and playing with matte finishing and polish gave a nice finishing touch to the product that any real man would like to see in his pocket. Even a non-smoker.

Assignment

Redesign the regular line of Walter Wolf cigarettes targeted at consumers of different generations and different worldviews.

Solution

The Walter Wolf cigarette box line had to be made more attractive to tobacco fans who like the classical look, but also at the same time to fans who prefer a more modern look. Thus for the first time we split it into two directions – Blue for pleasure, Icon for style. We retained the distinctive masculine and regular design. We introduced the color red symbolizing passion as a core value of the brand and graphic elements that emphasize the specificity of each part of the line. For all these reasons we are certain that where there is fire, there will always be Walter Wolf cigarettes.

Task

Creating and designing the visual identity of the brand destination Opatija Riviera and all of its components. Part of the task was to create an umbrella modular logo that would represent the entire Riviera, and from which logos of each individual town with its landmarks could be developed organically.

Solution

Nothing beats finding a simple solution to a complex problem. That is why we have created a simple stylised logo that represents every town and city of the Opatija Riviera and reflects their actual geographic alignment, with Opatija as the focal point. A colour palette ranging from warm brown and yellow hues to the colder green and blue ones was used in order to convey the combination of continental and Mediterranean flair that these destinations embody. Using photos instead of graphic symbols, the logo can be transformed easily into a communications sign for different events that the Opatija Riviera offers to its visitors.

Task

Create and design the packaging for an innovative food supplement that regulates indigestion and metabolism.

Solution

A pharmaceutical product with an innovative formula needed to be represented in an equally innovative packaging. By using a 3D sticker that hadn’t been used before in Croatia, we came up with a true graphic innovation and achieved the effect of depth that visually corresponded with how the product itself works. The design subtly incorporates details that obliquely depict the effect of the product and forms a compact unity with the product itself.

Task

Solution

Task

Redesigning the MC cigarette line in order to bring the brand closer to the picky, discerning younger (18+) target group. The design ought to reflect the brand values: it needs to be cosmopolitan, exciting and stylish.

Rješenje

MC takes you on a trip! From Athens, Berlin and Madrid to London, New York or Los Angeles! We focused on our consumer – a global citizen always on the lookout for new experiences – and put the world in the palm of their hand: on the small pack of pleasures that they enjoy every day. Each type of cigarette within the MC line is associated with a different city and accentuates one of its landmarks. Our world traveller needs only to choose a city that best suits their cosmopolitan spirit and they are immediately transported there each time they light up.

Task

Creating a design concept and coming up with names for a new sub-segment of products with the working title “Fant nuggets”.

Solution

We were faced with the challenge of presenting new products that embody innovation to a market already saturated with similar products. So we have branded the product with the name Hrskavci (Crunchies) to obtain a unique advantage over the competition and to accentuate the innovation – the irresistible crunchiness of the breaded meat nugget. This immediately set the product apart from similar products that could threaten its position.
The packaging is quite functional because it was important that it reflect the simple preparation of the delicious dish, and it follows the existing Fant line of products. The image of the product itself was put on the packaging to capture and accentuate the crunchy quality of the dish.

Task

Creating packaging design for the brand called Bodega Vitamins & Minerals.

Solution

The packaging was designed in a way that immediately conveys that this is premium product. The label used a combination of metallic gold and pearly beige base that works very well with the chosen (standard) brown bottle. The intention was to encapsulate the quality and uniqueness of the product by completely paring down the design and using traditional typography, but choosing top notch materials, textures and printing techniques. The end result is a product that looks classy and convincing.

Task

Coming up with labels for new products in the range of Pan beer – specifically, the refreshing Pan Radlers (a type of shandy) with different flavours: Lemon, Orange and Grapefruit.

Solution

By connecting the existing Pan beer label design with new elements of juicy fruit, we put emphasis on the refreshing combination of top quality beer and fruit, and created a functional, yet visually appealing solution.

Task

Coming up with new labels for Kutjevo wines that will retain some previous elements like the recognisable image of the Kutjevo castle and the colour yellow for their Graševina wine.

Solution

The aim was to create a visual identity that will emphasise the different categories of wines, but retain the recognisability and coherence of the whole range. Furthermore, Graševina (made from the popular local white variety of the same name) needed to be set apart from its competition and featured as Kutjevo’s biggest wine. The core values of the Kutjevo winery were communicated through sophisticated design, and the number of elements on the label was reduced. The basic values were communicated using the gold screen printing (quality), the image of the Kutjevo castle shown as if on an old postcard (tradition), higher quality paper, and the coat of arms that symbolises nobility and high rank (wealth). An additional element that we played with was the colour of the screw caps, which help the consumer tell whether the wine in the bottle is red (red cap), white (white cap), or Graševina (golden cap).

Task

Redesigning the packaging of the Cedevita tea range which will reflect the richness of aromas and tastes and evoke moments of experiencing them. The all-natural quality of the teas was also an important element in the design process.

Solution

Moments we share with those close to us are moments we also often drink tea. This is when we are at ease and feel natural, at peace, warm and satisfied. These natural, honest and pure values were key to our packaging.
By choosing warm colours, simple fonts and adding a green strip that is featured on every box of tea in the range, we have managed to avoid a cold, corporate look and give the Cedevita teas a homey, natural look, with a hint of that fairytale feeling every moment in which we drink the tea will be infused with. Each packaging is dominated by the image of fruit or herb that the tea is made of to emphasise the vast richness of scents and tastes contained in the small bags.

Task

Redesigning the packaging for a range of Cedevita instant vitamin drinks. The wish was to make the design dynamic, proactive and bright and that the packaging embodies the brand values: refreshment, vitamins and frugality.

Solution

In order to emphasise the freshness of the drink, we have displayed a swirl of refreshment of a freshly prepared Cedevita drink. Drops of the fresh drink spray out of the whirlpool and convey the dynamism and energy of Cedevita and the vitamins it contains. The natural quality is embodied in the image of fruit peels that is featured of the top of the packaging. The opening of a package of Cedevita thus provides a feeling similar to peeling an actual piece of fruit. A new icon emphasised the quantity of the drink prepared – a piece of information that isn’t yet sufficiently present in the mind of the consumer. The distinction between different flavours was attained by colour coding the packagings and putting different caps on them that represented the top parts of different fruits.

Task

The products within Dukat’s line Brzo&Fino (Quick&Tasty) were to be made to appeal to young working people who wish to cook tasty meals that don’t require long, complicated preparation and present them as kitchen short-cuts that they can use to cook like professional chefs.

Solution

The design encapsulated the image of the brand as a modern, high quality product with a powerful brand block that included the logo, the logo lines, a red strip and checkered table cloth that is associated with the Dukat brand. The picture of the product itself is appealing and appetizing, just as if it was prepared by a professional chef. The line is associated with professional cooking and endorsed by well-known chef Lidija Kralj.

Task

Coming up with name and creating packagings for Kraš’s premium range of chocolate. The new range had to be different from the Dorina brand, and the distinction was to be made through elegant design and a more luxurious packaging.

Solution

The name we came up with, Kraš 1911, corresponded with the hundred-year-old tradition that the company has in producing confectionary, and the top notch design conveyed the message about generations of masters and food technologists combining their know-how with high quality ingredients to advance the art of manufacturing chocolate sweets.
