The Design

About Birds and Coffee Obal

Každý produkt si zaslouží správný obal. Vývojem tohoto obalu designér pomohl úspěšné společnosti na pražírnu kávy oslovit nové lidi, kteří oceňují kávu prémiové kvality a záleží jim na jejím původu. Poskytnutím nového vzhledu obalu se designér snažil zvýšit hodnotu ručně vyráběné kávy, která pochází téměř ze všech kontinentů. Rozhodnutí použít ilustrace ptáků jednotlivých zemí bylo založeno na jejich elegantní povaze a také na pocitu ruční práce, který dávají konečnému produktu. Ke stejnému účelu slouží také kraftový papír a sytě tmavě hnědá barva ilustrací.

Design Challenge
It wasn't very challenging to create this packaging, The main challenge was to find the right postures of the birds and a balance of illustration style, that will be bold but still elegant. And also it was important that they will look sharp when printed on kraft paper bag.
Research
The packaging design creates value added to a product which has major influence on customers purchasing decision process especially at the point of purchase. Visual research was started by investigating the other producer's offer in the same niche of coffee roasters in Lituanian market.
My vision was based on moodboards of different graphic images and typography styles that helped to define the main design solutions. All The birds chosen for the packaging represent each country, are simple but at the same time elegant ant memorable.
Inspiration
I immediately thought of biology theme as a common thread among the nine coffee regions represented. After some sketching we've decided to use bird illustrations. The inspiration was found in a vintage biology books, birdwatcher's guides and botanical magazines and publications that describe the wide variety of species of each country.
Project Duration
The project took about 2,5monts : it was started on March 2020 and was finnished by the end May.
Operation Flow
The main communication flow between the customer and a coffee roaster is through their online shop. We aimed for new customers who value quality coffee and care about it's origin. In this case the visual communication comes to the front line and the nice packaging is crutial for the better understanding of the product value.
