Northern Spring Water

"This is a project that began as a joke with my parents while having a drink on a boat on the lake on a hot summer evening. I told them that I wanted to someday/very soon own my own company and do all the design and branding for it. They decided as a joke that I should start a spring water company taken from the cabin. I said actually... That's not a bad idea. The rest remains to be accomplished beyond the branding. Hopefully in a few more weeks I will show the fam. Haha! Things are coming along."

Ampro Wine

"Our gift for our clients is a bottle of wine. The concept was to make the wine bottle our female messenger that sends the client our best wishes and also to make the cilent smile. The solution for the funny part of the gift was to make the label go down to see what's behind: Everybody is sure to see some breast, but, instead of breasts they find two new born baby. The title of this work is HOt HOt HOt(instead of Santa's HO HO HO)"

Student Work / Roberta Zanette

"In 2009, I graduated in Industrial Design at UniRitter (Porto Alegre, Brazil). In order to do my final project, I decided to draw packaging for jam and jellies, because these products are pretty popular not only in the south of Brazil, but also in many other places. I had two main goals with my project: to affect the environment as little as possible and to develop a product with easy access to a great number of people.

Concerning the environment goal, I decided to project a returnable packaging system. After being used, the packaging should go back to their factory, where they would be washed and potted again. In this system, it is not necessary neither to discard packaging nor to manufacture new ones. I chose glass as the packaging material because it is very resistant and it can be recycled without loosing any of its physical and chemical characteristics.

Regarding labeling, I proposed a clean layout, in contrast with many other brands. This characteristic can highlight the product in the retail store gondola. In order to create an attractive packaging, I chose white as the predominant color of the label, which was illustrated by José Lourenço Degani (architect and professor at UniRitter). In addition to this, I decided to show all the obligatory information on the cover, so the rest of the packaging is free to identify the product.

The result of my final project was a packaging system with three different sizes – 600g, 450g and 300g – all in glass format. They were drawn in a way that they could be nested in any order. This characteristic helps the packaging transportation and its stacking, because it decreases the product volume when the packages are empty.

I decided to use vacuum pressure in the closing system, so it is easy to open and close the packaging, and it is also good for the product conservation. Another important characteristic is that the sizes of the cover and the label are the same for the three different packaging sizes."

Boxed Water

“What is this?” you ask.  “Bottled water in a box?”  Nope.  It’s boxed water, and it’s brilliant!  With 90% of the container coming from renewable resources and 20% of their profits reinvested in clean water and sustainable forestation initiatives, it seems like they’re living up to their claim).  Boxed Water is a much needed breath of fresh air in a world littered with plastic bottles saying the same thing the same way (i.e. Mountains and rivers on clear plastic containers that will exist long after we’ve turned to dust).  A great piece of design.  Did I mention they’re out of Grand Rapids.  Could it get any better?

Student Work / Lee Coren

"Laundry detergent packaging concept, designed for a class assignment under the "One of many" idea, so you can take home not just a box, but a part of an experience. 

This great laundry detergent is to be sold on those every-day laundromats, designed for young, fun-loving, mess-making kind of people, living on their own.

The concept is "Clean Clothes For Dirty People" - inspired by the washing machine drum structure, soap bubbles, new found sexy chic of laundromat and urban living."

Eco Coke

"Designed by Andrew Kim, the Eco Coke Concept is made of 100% organic material (sugar cane byproducts to be more specific). One big feature about this design is that it is much more collapsable, making it more condusive to carrying to a recycling bin. Hopefully we’ll see this in the market sooner than later."

I'm not a battery!

"The “Salt&Pepper Cell” shakers belong to the “I’m not product series” by Antrepo Design. They previously gave us the Minutuner, which was an awesome design for a clock. While that one confused us to believing it’s a Radio Tuner, the Salt&Pepper Cell serenade as a pair of whimsical D size battery. Fashioned from stainless steel and glass, the power indicators on the sides correlate to the amount of spices left in the shakers, before refill time. The Red&Turquoise and Black&white color options look fantastic!"
