CHALLENGE

Have fun while practising my illustration skills.

PRODUCTS

Branding, illustration and packaging.

EFFECT

A new design of a familiar product, focused on social sustainability.

This was purely for fun! I set myself a challenge to practice illustration and make my first attempt at packaging design.

Idea

The idea came to me when I saw a little boy confidently eating his Buchstabensuppe, with letters all over his face. I initially wanted to create an illustration where the letters spelled out "Buchstabensuppe" across his face. However, I couldn't make it work—the name was too long to fit naturally around the face.

Diversity

When you design visuals for children, you play a pivotal role in shaping their perceptions of the world and its workings. I aimed for packaging that portrays children of diverse appearances, ensuring more kids can see themselves represented. While this may not be the most cost-effective solution, it holds significant social value by teaching children about diversity and inclusion, fostering sustainable attitudes toward society. The bags inside has all different designs.

Homage

The posters are a homage to the 60s, when freeze-dried food became a household staple. I believe Buchstabensuppe serves the same purpose today as it did back then — quick and practical.
