("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: I would say the main inspiration behind this design is japanese culture: cherry blossoms, minimalism and origami.
: Achieving a differentiation among other products of the same nature in store's shelves, and also having a product that does not make a kitchen look untidy if it is not stowed away after its use.
: I would really like for a tea company to use this design as their packaging.
: About one month.
: It was back in 2015, I had a school project for Paper Technology course in which we needed to make a packaging with the only restriction of using cardboard as the only material.
: I plan to sell it.
: At that time, I was really into drinking tea and I often noticed how boring and similar to one another were the boxes of tea. One day I saw a jar of tizana, I found it lovely how the small jar seemed to tilt toward the costumer, inviting it to smell its content. I wanted to pursuit something as inviting as that.
: I was in a really early stage of my studies when I made this design. I had in mind that I wanted to make something different for the tea industry, a packaging that would invite the customers to interact with it, but I was lacking packaging technical knowledge to make a complex design. So it was The Dieline book that helped me out - a lot.
: I would say tea lovers. Probably mostly women because of the feminine aspect of the packaging.
: I had not seen a similar design being used for tea, but I would say it is
: Notch: an angled or V-shaped cut in the edge or top of something.
: Illustrator, Photoshop, Dielines
: The duality of how it can be displayed. The fact that it is a cube makes it easy to be transported in boxes to stores - saving space and money - but its triangular face at the bottom allows the product to be displayed in a way that draws the attention of customers.
: I did not collaborate with anyone.
: I used Illustrator and Photoshop to make the graphic design of the packaging.
: No, I did not make any research to make this design.
: The main challenge was the modification of the faces, flaps and folding lines in order to achieve the final result.
: I received an email from A'Design Award staff inviting me to participate, because they had seen my packaging in Favourite Design annuary.
: I learned about opening my mind to criticism, being patient and taking challenges.
: The original graphic design of the packaging is not the same as the one I submitted to the contest, it initially had watercolor flowers but it was with a friend of mine that I discussed different ideas until I came up with this final design.
