DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

: By positioning the brigadeiros into the vintage ads and combining the brand's vibrant universe, the visual identity becomes a pictorial representation of old advertising set within a new context. Fun and certainly unique.

DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

: At such commemorative times of the year when brands tend to use similar visual codes, there is nothing better than moving away from clichés. And find a solution which truly captivates people.

DI: What are your future plans for this award winning design?

: As it is a Special Edition, its charm resides on the fact that it will not be repeated again as it is, but we hope that it inspires other designs and projects.

DI: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?

: Brigaderia was already a partner of Casa Rex. We've have developed their visual identity and all special edition packaging since then.

: The way we always try to approach traditional concepts with a fresh and fun perspective.

DI: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?

DI: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
