Tea box and standee final product

Tea box and standee part 2

Standee

To keep with the concept of the tea box, I’ve decided to make design my standee like a wooden shelf. So it looks like you are at home. Not only that, the wooden shelf gives the illusion that of teacups on shelves as the design of the tea box is a tea cup. It is simple yet very attractive and it makes my tea boxes stand out. I didn’t want my standee to overpower my tea boxes. On top of the shelf is a enlarge version of the logo of the tea boxes which is the teacup. This not only informs people of what product and brand it is, but it also gives the illusion that the teacup is on top of a wooden shelf. I want everything to look cohesive and invoke the experience of drinking tea.


Target audience:

The primary target audience are young adults aged 20-40. They are the majority that drinks tea. They are also the age group that will find the concept and the design for the tea box attractive.

Tea box:

The name of the brand is ‘My Cuppa Tea’ and the slogan for the brand is ‘Just the way you like it’. It is a play on the phrase ‘my cup of tea’. It makes the brand seem relaxed and approachable. There are 3 different flavors which are peppermint, lemon and raspberry tea. The colors of the box reflects the flavors of the teas. There are 2 opening to the box. The tea can be taken out from the cut out flap at the bottom or it can be taken out from the opening on the left side of the box where there is an open marker.
There is a window cut into the teacup. This is so that, as the tea is shown in the window. It looks like tea slowly decreasing in a teacup. The window also serves another purpose as it indicate the level of tea. As the tea decrease, the panel at the back will reflect what level it is. There are 4 levels which are drink me, keep drinking, halfway mark and refill time. This panel starts from yellow and it turns to red as the level indicates ‘refill time’.

The ingredients and information of the tea are displayed on the side and back panel of the box.

Project 2

Tea packaging and standee

The brief:

For the second project we were given a choice to create either a packaging for cereal, tea, biscuit or coffee. I have chosen to design a packaging for tea as not only do I like drinking tea but I’m also very inspired by tea boxes. To go along with the packaging, we are also required to create a scale down standee to place the packaging.

Concept:

Tea box
The concept for the tea box is a homely and cozy feeling. This is the experience you get when drinking tea. I wanted to make the design simplistic yet still looks attractive and different. I think a simple teacup can illustrate all this. The shape of the teacup is a universal symbol for tea. When people see the teacup, the immediately think of how they feel when they are drinking tea.  The colors of the boxes add to the feel of the concept to invoke that warm and cozy sensation and amplify the person’s memory of the experience of drinking tea. I designed sketchy lines to make the box look rustic.

Project 1

Mooncake packaging


The Brief:
The brief for the first project is to create a mooncake packaging. The mooncake packaging has to possess aesthetic values that reflects the mooncake festival/ tradition. Not only that, but it also has to practical where it is easy to store.

Target audience:
Families


Concept:
The concept for my box is a Chinese pagoda. A pagoda is a symbolic structure within the Chinese culture. It is also where the story of gods and goddesses come to life. This is important as it is also the inspiration for my mooncake packaging. Around the box, there are illustration of the story of the mooncake.
