Arboris

February 15, 2013 | 1 Comment

“Moscow branding studio Ohmybrand created the concept of a premium brand of organic skin care cosmetics.

The name Arboris (Latin for tree) appears on the base on the completely natural composition, which includes nothing but vegetable based ingredients. Arboris products due to their natural origin have a small shelf life. We proposed using a special ink in the design of the labels. The ink begins to fade when the cream loses its freshness. Black color and mascara-stylized appearance show the premium qualities of the product and make it stand out from the mass of skin care products.”

Yogamood Aromatherapy Body Oils

February 13, 2013 | 1 Comment

“A newly established yoga studio, Yogamood seeks to place yoga in a modern Scandinavian context, making it accessible to those without prior knowledge of yoga while retaining the philosophy’s unique ideology and symbolism. Following the establishment of the company, Yogamood developed a range of pure aromatherapy oils. Each has its own characteristics and application and can be used separately. When all three oils are placed in a row, the product names A (Activate), U (Unify) and M (Meditate) form the word AUM, an meaningful and well-known term in yoga philosophy.”

Student Work – Morgan Sterns

February 7, 2013 | 1 Comment

“Alchemy is defined as a form of chemistry and speculative philosophy practiced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and it’s concerned principally with discovering methods for transmuting baser metals into gold and finding a universal solvent and an elixir of life.

In an attempt to bring a modernized design approach to the ancient practice of alchemy, I created a fictitious brand called Alchimia for my MFA graduate package design class. The prompt was to conceptualize and develop a survival kit and instead I opted to create a high-end kit for the modern day alchemist.

Embossed black and gold lettering on fine linen paper give each piece of the kit a luxurious feel while the black on black treatments keep the package design modern, simple, and elegant.”

Youth Labs

February 6, 2013 | 2 Comments

“Τhe brief: we want our high quality products to become the preferred choice for beauty concious women.

Τhe target audience: women who are well informed and prefer not to spend on highly advertised products.

The design: what we needed to convey through the identity and packaging design of this range of products was trust and intimacy. It targets women within the very environment of beauty care and we decided to make this environment part of the design concept. Youth Lab is, by language and symbol choice, a straightforward reference to a personal laboratory, a place where each individual is treated specially and with the proper, tested materials. The retro futuristic character of the lab tube and the thin, elongated type font speaks of scientific seriousness, while the choice of fluorescent colors on rough carton paper, suggests calculated boldness and personality. The result is a product that is familiar but not boring, trustworthy but also linked with research and experimentation.”

Verso Skincare

February 3, 2013 | 1 Comment

“Verso is latin and means reverse, as in the backside of a painting or the back view of a dress. It is what is normally hidden underneath, the mirrored view. In a metaphorical sense, you could say it means going your own way, being different. And Verso is a very different kind of skincare. It has a unique and patented formula called Retinol 8 that helps the skin cells to mimic how young cells behave, effectively reversing the signs of aging.

The Verso Skincare brand identity & packaging design was developed for over a year by Today Creative: Susanna Barrett Creative Direction, Mattias Börjesson Brand Strategy, Tom Miller Senior Designer and Torbjörn Kihlberg Designer. Web development by Emil Olsson.”

Hudson Made Worker’s Soap

January 22, 2013 | 4 Comments

“Introducing the Hudson Made Worker’s Soap. This small batch artisanal product is for the man (or woman) who understands that being good with your hands means being good to your hands.

Hudson Made packaging references a time in history when every item was individually boxed and packed by hand upon production. Hand wrapped and string tied with a lead seal, each soap is securely protected and unique. The incorporation of traditional printing and letterpress typography on sustainable paper creates a valued product presentation.

All of Hudson Made’s packaging is manufactured locally and meticulously selected for a truly regional product. The typography itself is balanced between contemporary simplicity and the heritage implied by nineteenth-century design.”
