#concept packaging

Ilias Y created four series of inexpensive jewellery inspired by the four planets: Venus, Earth, Mars and Saturn. The client asked for inexpensive packaging to minimize cost for all four series. We brainstormed on how to create a single piece of packaging for all four products. We came up with the idea of an open box, a simple cross- shaped piece of cardboard with four sides. Each side is labelled with the name of a planet. The jewellery is placed inside the open box and must be folded properly, so that the side folded last is the one with the name of the planet. The gift packaging is free of glue and is folded at the shop before customers in under 20 seconds.

Starting with the concept of a wave, the ripple is used as a dominant design element. The band's universal colour codes have been detained with a clear youthful approach. Design-wise, it is a modern packaging that stands out in the shelf clutter. Conceptually, the ripple in addition to the apparent wave connection creates the feeling of spreading. Spread of flavor, aroma, desire for crisp Tsakiris chips!

"Cretan Hands" was created as a company of handmade pastry products, which brings traditional Cretan cuisine to our homes, using traditional grandmother recipes of Crete. The name "Cretan Hands" was created to emphasize that the products are handmade. The "Cretan Hands" logo consists of a hand and a rolling pin, with a minimal, linear character which is kept by the whole company. The goal is through "Cretan Hands" and its products to connect the traditional with a more modern tone, without losing its character.   

 The “Cretan Hands” product line, intended for the Greek market, uses the distinctive title "Αγαπητερά". For the need to logotype the particular nomenclature, the font "Αγαπητερά" was designed. The inspirational point of reference for the design of the glyphs is the dough, made into strips. The Greek pedestrian characters and capital «A» were designed. Especially for the "κ" and "η" characters were designed and two alternative glyphs with a different beardline. It is a handwriting type font that is also suitable for using current text.
