About Johnnie Walker Limited Edition Dāvanu iepakojums

Johnnie Walker Limited Edition ir dāvanu iepakojuma dizains viskija pudelei, kas izlaista Ķīnas Vidus rudens svētkiem. Vidus rudens svētki ir nozīmīgs ģimenes atkalapvienošanās laiks, tāpēc dizaina tēmas ir mājas, atkalapvienošanās un emocijas. Dizains smeļas iedvesmu no tradicionālās ķīniešu arhitektūras durvīm un logiem. Ārējā kārba atveras kā divviru durvis, ko centrā aizvērtas tur magnētiska poga, un atklāj iekšā esošo pudeli. Uz iepakojuma attēlotas orhidejas, tauriņi un labvēlību nesoši mākoņi. Kārbas apdarē izmantots zeltījums un lāzergriešana, savukārt pudelei pielietota smilšu strūklas apstrāde.

Production Technology
The packaging uses gilding and excitation techniques, as well as laser cutout technology to handle the visual senses of the packaging. Sandblasting technology was used on the bottle
Design Challenge
The most difficult parts of this packaging design are the size of the windows and the hardness of the paper, which needs to be aesthetic while taking supporting and protecting function that is critical during shipping into account. During the design process, the design of the windows was repeatedly adjusted and packaging production attempts were made.
Research
In the packaging design, traditional Chinese wooden windows are used as the main vision of the outer packaging. Orchids, butterflies and Chinese auspicious clouds are the main depicting objects. Towering pavilions are built near the moon. The designer wishes to combine the auspicious cloud patterns with the lines of cake rolls, providing an unique visual experience. Blue is the brand symbol of JOHNNIE WALKER. Blue and orchids have the same pronunciation in Chinese, and are equated in the depiction. Orchids also symbolize “gentlemen” in Chinese culture since The Book of Songs is created.
Inspiration
"EMOTIONS COME FROM BLUE" comes from the Chinese idiom “blue is extracted from the indigo plant, but is bluer than it”. By creating through such themes, and adopting the culture of Mid-Autumn Festival, the designer temps to reflect how the people are becoming better and better by generation. The scene of the moonlight flattering some orchids in a courtyard is observed by looking through the gaps of the wooden windows that are traditionally built in Chinese courtyards. This helps presenting an intriguing experience of the traditional Chinese festival.
