Project Overview

Cecilia's Farm wanted me to create a packaging concept that was modern and premium looking. The strategic direction and packaging execution was to situate them as a world leader in the dried fruit industry so I opted for clean lines and photography instead of the market trend of favouring quirky illustration-style packaging. For these bars, I also wanted to veer away from the competition, which often highlights comical illustrations, or the slap-dash approach of clear wrapping with a generic looking label.  

I used elegant typography and bold colours so that the product text stood out. However, I contrasted this with a more muted brown for the company logo and ingredients. This develops a colour relationship between Cecilia’s Farm and their commitment to what goes inside each bar. 

The Fruit Smoothie Bars have a contemporary feel through the matt high quality boxes, the trendy Nordic pastel shades, and the striking diagonal lines. As with all Cecilia’s Farm products, I utilised world-class food photography that doesn’t just show consumers what’s in each bar, but showcases the ingredients and product.
