The Design
About Zhen Hao E Verpackung für Hundefutter
Zhen Hao E ist eine Verpackungsserie für Hundefutter und Hundesnacks. Das Design greift auf die chinesische Kultur zurück und stellt Hunde als altchinesische Kaiser verschiedener Epochen dar. In China werden Hundehalter häufig als Beamte beschrieben, die ihren Haustieren dienen – diese Vorstellung prägt die Illustrationen. Comicartige Hundefiguren kennzeichnen die Größengruppe und trennen kleine Hunde von mittelgroßen und großen Hunden. Unterschiedliche Farben unterscheiden Hundefutter von Snacks, sodass das Sortiment leicht verständlich ist. Verwendet werden Recyclingpapier, Wellpappe und Aluminiumfolienbeutel.

This analogy inspires us to personify the dogs into the ancient emperors of different ages, and built the brand Zhen hao e. The Zhen in the brand means an emperor and the Hao e means hungriness. Zhen hao e is vivid because it distinguishes the sizes of dogs by caricaturing the dogs, and use various color to differentiate dog food and snacks to make the product packaging more intuitive.
