01 RUFF WATERS A DV E N T U R E D O G T R E AT S

OVERVIEW Ruff Water is a brand of dog treats that will excite any dog in any environment. Having the ability to take your dog out to their favorite outdoor areas while carrying treats that are environmentally friendly.

PROBLEM Plastic. Most dog treats are made in containers or ziplock baggies that will allow freshness, but unfortunately this leads to an overwhelmingly amount of packaging waste.

SOLUTION Creating a reusable packaging that will also be capable of recycling is one of the best routes we can currently take. With Ruff Waters, we decided to create a brand that has a playful perspective toward our pets' treat options.

THE BIG IDEA

ART DIRECTOR / SEAN BACON

BRAND POSITIONING

CATEGORY / PACKAGING

DESIGN THINKING

Overall the goal was to make Ruff Waters approachable, playful, and stand out amounst the competitors. Through our logo, we took risks and went with the flow of how to create a logo with movement.

TARGET AUDIENCE We found our target audience to mostly likely, and almost always, have a routine of venturing out into the wilderness and or even just the dog park. Both dog and humans were considered in the process, and having both values overlap were key values in decsion making.

TAGLINE "A DOGS BEST LIFE" Because when your furbaby is happy, you're happy.
