Design Challenge: The challenge of designing this product lies in finding a universally accepted cultural icon in Qingdao, which is also closely related to Tsingtao Beer. Target audience and consumption mode are the second challenge the packaging design has encountered. For that matter, the product has selected iconic symbols and colors of illustration during the process of brewing, thus showcasing the theme of anniversary.
Research: It is true that every city has its own exclusive pace and culture. There are no counterparts in China like Qingdao who, apart from regarding beer as both a food and a cultural icon, has merged beer into the lifestyle. The inclusive humanism of Qingdao is poured in every can of beer, which, along with the fragrance of beer, is spread to China and beyond.
Inspiration: The illustration, inspired by the cultural icons of Tsingtao Beer and distinctive regional elements of Qingdao, is designed based on historical documents and local traditional architectures, which is now a postcard for inviting users to Qingdao as an ideal destination.
Project Duration: This project was started in January 2021 in Qingdao, and was finished in April 2022.
Operation Flow: The outer case is a gift box that can be unfolded to both sides. This is inspired by the blossom of hops, one of the ingredients, thus building a close relationship with the product. When opened, three vintage Pilsner beers is in sight.
