The client and author of the book \"Finding Your Path\" was looking for a simple but unique cover design, that would complement the meaning of the book, but is also visually appealing to young people and their environment (relatives and friends).
The main illustration represents the journey from school to adulthood in a positive way and it expands to the back cover. The style is fresh, simple and happy. The 2-color limitation was a challenge that lead to a design that uses contrast and negative space in a playful way.")

The goal was to communicate the company's premium product and unique features and benefits in a simple and easy to understand way.
The visual approach had to reflect a premium, modern and clean feel that represents the company's values and positioning.")

The client wanted a new look for their products that reflects the current trends, yet is serious and appealing to smart, sexually responsible people. The product should look pharmaceutical and suggest confidence and safety.
The design is based on geometric shapes that represent two heart beats. This concept is personalized for each package by a different color and pattern, but remains recognizable throughout the range.
During this contest the first 3 out of 7 SKUs were designed. The rest of the products as well as some refinements were made via 1:1 projects in collaboration with the Love Plus team.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/63/63062/attachment_63062375 "A modern, minimal and unique pizza takeaway packaging concept.
This project was about designing a custom and attractive pizza packaging.
The packaging has 3 parts. First, the main box with a window that folds and allows the brand to be seen through it. Second, an insert that works both as a paper base for the pizza as well as a paper dish for consuming it, as it is perforated and can be cut off with each slice. Third, a wrap that can be personalized for each pizza type, by color and text.
The packaging concept is represented as an isometric design to give a better understanding . The files delivered to the client included the die-line for each packaging element.")
