Interviews

Design Interview

What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

Serra Vegana is a small company that produces cashew ferments and vegan cheeses. Handmade from plants with 100% vegan natural ingredients. The brand promotes the vegan lifestyle by eliminating actions of exploitation or animal suffering, as well as reducing its impact on the environment.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

I wanted to infuse the brand with these values and the vegan lifestyle and represent the company.

The company wanted to avoid exploitation or animal suffering and reduce the impact on the environment, which is why they reject consumer items of animal origin.

What are your future plans for this award winning design?

I hope it continues to give us some more joy, but what excites me the most is seeing how the brand is implementing all the branding design it creates for the brand in all the packaging, store signage and internal stationery.

Grand Interview

Your innovative approach to sustainable packaging in Vegan Style Packaging Design beautifully merges eco-consciousness with brand ethics - could you share the journey of how you developed this harmonious balance between environmental responsibility and visual appeal?

It was extremely easy, as the client himself has these values ​​in his business, all I had to do was highlight the ecological awareness of the packaging and base it on the ethics of the brand and the client. The balance between environmental responsibility and visual appeal is due to wanting to highlight the ethics of the company, ethics that the client openly shares.

The use of recycled cardboard and eco-inks in Vegan Style Packaging Design represents a significant commitment to sustainability - what inspired your specific material choices, and how did these selections influence your creative process?

The brand's ethical awareness was so overwhelming that there was no other way to approach the design of the packaging and its materials. Thinking about industrial printing for this project would have to deprive the brand of its most precious asset, based primarily on veganism, which is in favour of sustainable ecology and caring for the environment.

How did your experience in food industry design influence the way you communicated the artisanal, handmade nature of these cashew-based products through Vegan Style Packaging Design?

The client actually makes these products by hand in an artisanal way, so in this case what I did was also to highlight the properties of the business itself, giving total transparency to the image of the business. The design is constantly based on the values ​​of the client and the business, highlighting their true criteria for the realization of their products and their own lifestyle.
