ELIXIR

Challenge: Logo and packaging design for a beverage product in which at least one ingredient/element is presented in the logo and package. The inspiration for Elixir came from a gift from Italy two years ago: a bottle of lavender liquor from Triora - the ancient town of the witches. 

Triora, in Italy, is a sleepy little ancient hill towns in the valley of Argentine in the region of Liguria, close to the French border. Much of the architecture in Triora dates back to the 12th century, but its period of greatest fame was during the 16th century when a number of witch trials were conducted by the Inquisition. The town boasts an excellent museum of witchcraft, and to this day has a powerful association with witches. Some decedents of the original witches can still be seen in the town to this day.

Branding: In order to resemble a sense of elegance to the logo, I decided to use serif font and decorative, ornate curves which is a fundamental element of Art Nouveau. Hand-painted lavender in pastel purple not only satisfied the requirements of the project but also bear a resemblance to the lavender fields in Northern Italy where the liqueur was made of. Target audience: Age varies from 20-40 with main target on young millennials who appreciate art and fine liqueur.

Buoy is a packaging passion project. It combines my fondness for illustration, swimming, and design for beauty and wellness. The idea came through after having a hard time finding products that have a good sense of style, all the while addressing the sensitive skincare needs of a regular swimmer.
