Follow Me is a packaging design for Buddhist vegetarian food. The design addresses young consumers, a group not well served by the traditional packaging usually applied to such products.

InterBrasil Brand Identity Redesign

InterBrasil

The inspiration for the brand rethinking and redesign were the changes in modernization and integration in the company’s culture. The design of the heart could no longer be external to the brand, inspiring a partnership both internally with employees, but also with customers. An integrated union between benefits, commitment and quality of service. From the shape to the colors, the new design integrated the heart in to the B and the health cross in the T. The two words joined in the middle making the logo look like a one word, one symbol, uniting the R and B in the heart.

Mi Musician Bluetooth Headset

Mi Musician

Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini is packaging created for a compact sports headset. The headset shell is minimal and carries a single circular button. The packaging uses images of famous musicians, so the oval shell reads as a head and the button as an open mouth. The result suggests a singer or a conductor, and gives character to a simple product. A PET tray holds the headset and the controller at the front, while the wires remain hidden. A paper cover keeps the structure firm. The design aims to appeal to users between 18 and 29 years old.
