The Design

About Hainan Beer Involucrum Cervisiae

Hainan Beer est designatio involucri cervisiae, quae paesaggio et cultura insulae Hainan inspirata est. Lagoena vitrea figuras anaglyphas gerit ex undis maris, navibus velificantibus, pharis, arboribus cocois avibusque marinis ductas, et forma eius gracilis prehensionem una manu sustinet. Vas aluminium atramento thermochromico impressum est, ita ut figura sigilli cursualis paulatim appareat, dum temperatura inter refrigerationem cadit. Capsa exterior e charta kraft facta est atque in speciem vidulae formata. Involucrum cervisiam cum scaenis localibus et cum otioso vitae genere locali coniungit.

Design Challenge: To strike a balance between the cultural characteristics of Hainan and packaging design, the design team shed conventional design ideas, and integrated diverse cultural elements into the word Hainan as the basis via modern graphic design, which forms strong visual impact to reinvigorate Hainan Beer.
Research: This Hainan Beer full of Hainan style provides users with the authentic flavor of Hainan in hot summer. It is designed based on inspiration from the streets of Haikou and seabreezes in Wanning, as well as the characteristics of Hainan in a view of globalization, so that users can enjoy the distinctive lifestyle and culture as if living in Hainan.
