Product & Brand Proposal
“Naturally Chic� rebranded Tarte Cosmetics mixes more feminine touches with organic shapes and textures. Floral abstract graphics stay in line with Tarte brand but elevate the audience and value. Donates a portion of the product to Sustainable Amazon Partnership and has more information on packaging of charity and Tarte’s impact on the environment. More information about recycling options and easier to open packaging. Rebranded Tarte looks more cohesive and is a more easily recognizable brand.
Still uses purple as main color of packaging and bamboo as major aesthetic in designs. Tries to use more organic and round shapes as opposed to stark straight lines. Metallic stenciling and matte purple recyclable materials. Peony Holiday Gift Box encompasses brands motto and purpose. Provides an entire experience that lasts as long as you wish. Open up the layers of the box to reveal your presents inside, like opening up a gift. Design chosen for tactile/interactive package experience while maintaining ultra feminine feel at the same time as being organic.
