About Island Rain Spiked Sparkling Seltzer Packaging

The brand and can designs for Omaha Brewing Company’s newest product, Island Rain, is inspired by island and beach-themed typography and subtly incorporates existing elements that can be easily distinguishable by those familiar to OBC, but not key to understanding the new spiked seltzer brand. The clean, crisp, white can is contrasted with splashes of color establishing a design language intended to target a younger consumer with easily identifiable flavors. Sold in an international market, Island Rain and Omaha Brewing Company look to positively impact the growing spiked seltzer market.

Production Technology
The initial design was intended to be printed directly on substrate, instead the client decided to continue using shrink wrapped cans for the current production run.
Design Challenge
The most difficult challenge was to create a new and unique design that fulfilled the request of the client while not alienating a dedicated community who was already invested in the brewery.

Furthermore, a priority of this initiative was to produce a design that would allow for the lowest production cost available. Producing an eye-catching design that had to solve many marketing problems with a limited color palette also proved to be a challenge.
Research
Research Objectives
To determine how to distinguish OBCs new sparkling spiked seltzer from their existing beer products while also creating a product that would compete in a crowded market.

Research Methodology
Review of current client product design and that of potential competitors was observed. As the primary designer of past designs, I had knowledge of the aesthetic which the client wanted to move away from.

Data Collection
Qualitative

Participants and Experiments
Test market groups were introduced to the new product line to receive feedback before final production.
Inspiration
Inspired by the crisp, refreshing taste and flavors of the low calorie refreshment brewed in S. Georgia, the design looked to distinguish Island Rain as a unique product line that would be sold to international markets.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2019 in Omaha, Georgia USA and concluded in January 2020. Island Rain is now being distributed to international markets arriving on shelves in Guatemala in September 2020.
Operation Flow
Pop open a can and enjoy the beverage that is Island Rain.
