About Shochu X Design De Embalagem

Projetado para uma reformulação da marca Shochu X, uma empresa que cria um novo valor a partir de uma perspectiva moderna para o shochu, uma bebida destilada tradicional produzida na região de Kyushu, no Japão. Focado no facto de esta marca não oferecer apenas o valor das bebidas alcoólicas, mas também valorizar a relação com a cultura e estilos de vida. Usei uma bebida destilada ocidental como formato e rótulo de garrafa, mas adicionei um design gráfico com um padrão de estilo japonês e estética minimalista para expressar a fusão cultural entre o Ocidente e o Oriente e os cidadãos globais; felicidade de estar socialmente conectado através deste shochu.

Inspiration
Shochu is a distilled spirit similar to whiskey, but it can be made from ingredients such as rice, sweet potatoes, brown sugar, as well as barley. After producing unprocessed shochu by single distillation, it can be aged for a long time in ceramic bottles, enamel tanks, or wooden barrels. And just like whiskey, different shochu are sometimes blended to create complex and diverse flavors. To match the diversity of the product, a different appearance was applied to different flavor in the design. In addition, based on the social significance of alcoholic beverages’ existence, which is to connect people, the emphasis was placed on the design that blends multi-ethnic cultures, as well as an affinity with lifestyle from a global perspective. To achieve this goal, a combination of a bottle shape and label normally used for Western spirits was adopted. However, in contrast to this, a graphic design with a Japanese-style pattern and minimalist aesthetics was incorporated to express the cultural fusion between the West and the East and people’s happiness that is being socially connected with this shochu as global citizens beyond national borders.
