Design Interview

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

The heart of Heaven's Elix Kombucha’s design lies in the celebration of wellness and the pursuit of vibrant living. The inspiration springs from nature’s bounty, and flavor is a tribute to the earth’s most refreshing botanicals. The principle guiding our design is simple: to craft a beverage that not only delights the palate but also nourishes the body and soul. Our founder’s vision was to bridge the gap between health and indulgence, creating a drink that feels like a treat while supporting holistic well-being.

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

Our main focus was to create an experience, not just a drink. We wanted every bottle of Elix Kombucha to evoke curiosity, excitement, and a sense of discovery. The design aims to stand out on the shelf - vivid, inviting, and modern - while communicating our commitment to quality and sustainability. Ultimately, our goal was to foster a community of health-conscious individuals who see wellness as an enjoyable journey, not a chore.

What are your future plans for this award winning design?

Looking ahead, we plan to evolve the design as we expand into new markets. Each new flavor and region will inspire limited-edition packaging and collaborations with local artists, reflecting the global yet personal nature of our brand. We also envision sustainable packaging innovations, such as biodegradable labels and reusable bottles, as part of our ongoing commitment to the planet.

Grand Interview

Your striking gradient design for Heavens Elix Kombucha Tea seamlessly transitions from pink to orange, perfectly complementing the Hibiscus flavor – could you walk us through the creative process that led to this distinctive visual identity?

When I created the look for Heaven’s Elix Kombucha Tea, my goal was to make the can feel as lively and fresh as the hibiscus flavor inside. I picked a pink-to-orange gradient because these colors remind people of flowers and fruit, and they give off a happy, energetic vibe. I wanted the can to be easy to spot, so I made sure the colors blended smoothly and looked bright on the shelf.I also added small hibiscus flowers and soft cloud shapes to give a natural and gentle feel. The simple, bold letters make the name stand out and keep the design looking clean and modern. All these choices help show that the drink is both healthy and special. I’m very thankful to A' Design Awards for letting me share my design and for this wonderful recognition

The cloud motifs and delicate hibiscus flowers in Heavens Elix Kombucha Tea create an ethereal ambiance while maintaining premium appeal – how did you balance these natural elements with the sophisticated serif typography to achieve this harmonious design?

First of all, I am truly grateful to the A' Design Awards for recognizing Heaven’s Elix Kombucha Tea’s design.When designing the Heaven’s Elix Kombucha Tea can, I wanted to create a look that feels both natural and premium. The soft cloud shapes and delicate hibiscus flowers give the design a light, fresh, and almost dreamy feeling, which connects well with the natural hibiscus flavor inside. To balance this softness, I chose a clean and elegant serif font for the text, which adds a sense of quality and sophistication. I made sure the layout was simple and clear so that the flowers and clouds don’t overwhelm the design, and the text remains easy to read and stands out. This mix of gentle natural elements with strong, classic typography helps the can look inviting and high-end at the same time, making it attractive to customers who want a healthy drink that also feels special.

What inspired your decision to incorporate sustainable aluminum cans with UV spot printing and semi-matte finish for Heavens Elix Kombucha Tea, and how do these material choices enhance both the environmental consciousness and premium positioning of the brand?

I chose to use sustainable aluminum cans for Heaven’s Elix Kombucha Tea because they are better for the environment. They can be recycled many times, which helps reduce waste. The UV spot printing and semi-matte finish were selected to make the can look and feel more special and high-quality. The UV spot printing adds a shiny effect to certain parts of the design, making it stand out, while the semi-matte finish gives the can a smooth and modern touch. Together, these choices show that we care about the planet and also want to offer a premium product. This combination helps our brand appeal to people who value both sustainability and a luxurious experience.
