The Design

About Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset Mini Headset-emballage

Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset Mini er emballage designet til et sports-Bluetooth-headset. Forsiden af pakken viser kun ørepropperne og controlleren, mens kablet forbliver skjult. En PET-bakke på indersiden holder headsettet på plads, og en papæske udgør den ydre skal. Set på afstand fremstår de to ørepropper som øjne, og controlleren fremstår som en mund. Tilføjede farver og trykte detaljer forvandler hver pakke til et emoji-ansigt med et forskelligt udtryk. Designet sigter mod at appellere til unge købere til en lav produktionsomkostning.

Design Challenge: As the target audiences are 18 to 29 year-olds, the design should make the products most close to the trendy of young's culture.
Research: Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset Mini is a low profile product that targets the lower end of the sports headset market. The retail price for the product is 12.9 Euro in China. The overall packaging budget was limited to about 0.6 Euro. So it is the design task to add some attractive elements to its packaging and make it outstanding from the shelves.
Inspiration: In current China, for phone chatting, the young generation use a lot of picture formed emoji to chat to each other, instead of typing words. To make this low-profit product more easier to approach young generation, our design strategy is to use the language of the younger generation to appeal to them-emoji comes to mind.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2018 and finished in April 2019 in Beijing, China
Operation Flow: Emoji is an amazing way of communication-a single emoji can encompass so many different meanings. From a distance the shell of the headset are just blocks of black, but it can also be viewed as the eyes of an emoji icon; similarly the controller becomes the mouth. With additional decorations and colors, the packagings become emoji icons with different emotions.
