Engage your five distinct senses— Create packaging and branding of a set of four to six glasses for appropriate audiences. The packaging must offer ease of use and adequate protection of glass.

The Approach Feel Glass is a conceptual glass company, that provides only high quality drink-ware glass. Feel Glass was inspirationally driven on the five sense of the human body, which are

seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching. Feel glass believes that glass use to drink can elevate the quality of life and the mood of a home.

into the design. Looking at the package, Hearing when you pull the box slide, Tasting the glass, Smelling the wood,

JEFF JEN

I thought about how to package the five human senses

the whole box is the entire of the experience I would like to share. I approached this package with a very simplistic and minimal way to bring out the high end mood. Remind the target audience that glassware can be very high-end and luxurious and that we cannot live without glass, that drinkware is worth spending money on.

Which side is telling the truth— Find an unknown a problem, address it through visual systems, educating suitable target audiences. The problem should be interesting, like eye candy.

JEFF JEN

No need to think about how you’re going to get to

Embracing the black in its current form, I would like to bring in the look of the actual “smart city” Utopia to life. Bring in more younger generations, by setting the brand more friendly and easy to engage. Uber’s logo should look distinctive and hold its own personality built from its past brand icon and experience. The black should be kept.

With graphic treatments and illutrations, the origin story of Earthshakers will be transformed on the label. The brand and products have an inviting tone that invites relaxation. The design style is planned to bring out a unique side of beer that tells the story. To emphasize on the story and the temptation of flavor, the use of metallic paper bring out a feeling of refreshing beer.

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things

with mass are brought toward or gravitate toward one another, in-

cluding planets, stars and galaxies, and other physical objects. Since

energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy including light

cause gravitation and are under the influence of it. On Earth, gravity

gives weight to physical objects, and causes the ocean tides.
