Grand Interview

Your innovative fusion of traditional almond blossom motifs with contemporary patterns in Equia Keto Line Packaging Identity has created a distinctive visual language - could you elaborate on how this balance between heritage and modernity shaped your creative decisions?

Balancing heritage and modernity in the eQuia Keto Line packaging was a central focus of our designapproach. The sketching style of almonds reflects the authentic spirit and mood of the product. Almondblossoms, a traditional motif, were chosen after revisiting the product's roots for their cultural symbolismand connection to nature, emphasizing the natural and wholesome ingredients at the core of the product.To reflect modernity, we integrated the traditional elements with a contemporary typeface and abstractpatterns. This reimagining of the motif creates a modern aesthetic while preserving its essence. The color palette, blending earthy tones with vibrant accents, evokes a natural feel and underscores the brand’s commitment to authenticity.Every design decision, from layout to typography, was thoughtfully crafted to showcase the product'sfoundation in nature while appealing to a modern and younger audience. This fusion ultimately reflectsthe product’s core promise: supporting wellness and a healthy lifestyle.

The incorporation of three languages while maintaining elegant simplicity in Equia Keto Line Packaging Identity presented a unique challenge - how did you approach this multilingual design integration without compromising the sophisticated aesthetic?

To address this challenge, we focused on creating a harmonious design that seamlessly integratesthree languages while maintaining the elegant simplicity of the packaging. Our key objective was toprioritize clarity and legibility without overwhelming the visual composition.We selected a clean, modern typeface that complements the overall design, ensuring each language isbalanced and easy to read. The layout was meticulously structured, giving each language ample spaceto breathe and avoiding visual clutter. We adjusted font sizes, amplifying the English language whilekeeping the Arabic slightly smaller for contrast.Choosing the right font was critical to ensuring the languages are visually appealing and cohesive,without one overpowering the others. To maintain a clear hierarchy, we designated primary andsecondary languages on the front, while placing the French language on the back side.

What inspired your choice of earthy greens, calming blues, and rich golds in Equia Keto Line Packaging Identity, and how do these colors contribute to communicating the brand's natural, wellness-focused identity?

eQuia is a brand known for its focus on health and wellness, using natural ingredients to create products that prioritize wholesomeness. For the Keto line, we ensured that the natural aspect remained central, highlighting its authenticity through carefully selected colors. Our goal was to reflect the product’s healthy and natural qualities using a palette inspired by everyday elements of nature that people connect with in their daily lives.The palette features Light Green, symbolizing lush foliage and representing harmony, safety, and health. Calming Blues capture the serenity of clear skies and tranquil waters, bringing a sense of peace and openness. Golden Sunlight Shades, with warm yellows, evoke the uplifting warmth and positivity of sunlight. These colors not only emphasize the natural foundation of the products but also create a visual identity that resonates with the essence of health and well-being.
