Harmonizing brand strategies with consumer preferences to develop effective and eye-catching packaging solutions, focusing on both aesthetic appeal and practical performance, while also ensuring that the packaging supports long-term environmental sustainability and business growth. Rate USD3,000 - USD10,000 (depending on project scope) Delivery Time 30 - 60 days (depending on project scope) Process Overview Packaging Design: This phase involves creating the packaging design, defining the color palette, typography, product identity (logo design), materials, and finishes. If the project scope includes designing an exclusive bottle or cap, this is also the stage to develop those elements. CGI: Now it's time to create the 3D modeling of the product, alongside all textures and special finishes, resulting in photorealistic 3D renderings as digital prototyping for approval. Production Guidelines: This stage involves creating the final files that detail all the specifications for the packaging, allowing manufacturers to print and produce it. Consultancy for Production: If you need, I can recommend suppliers able to produce labels, boxes, and/or glass bottles. Storytelling: I'll create a compelling narrative around the design, with powerful stories that enhance the brand presence and marketing efforts.

Rate USD4,000 - USD8,000 (depending on product complexity) Delivery Time 30 - 60 days (depending on product complexity) Process Overview Research and Immersion: The project begins with extensive research to understand the client's industry, target market, and audience. Deliverables: Since the research is primarily to guide the creative process, this stage does not produce deliverables. Concept Design: In this stage, we explore various directions and create the concept that will shape the entire visual identity. Deliverables: A moodboard presenting different possible concept paths for the client to choose the one that best represents the brand. Brand Design: At this stage, we begin crafting the brand itself, designing the symbol, logotype, and defining the color palette, typography, stationery, and other brand assets (depending on project scope). Deliverables: A comprehensive presentation featuring the logo and visual identity for approval. BrandBook: The final stage involves creating the brand identity guidelines, which contain all the essential information about the brand, including its personality, tone of voice, archetypes, brand assets, and everything needed to apply the visual identity across various media. Deliverables: All brand files, including the symbol, logotype, and assets, provided in multiple file formats (both bitmap and vector-based), such as AI, EPS, PDF, SVG, JPG, PNG, TIFF, and PSD.
