The target consumer: Adult
consumers of any age who either knew the product or are now introduced to
it.
The design: Faithful to our approach of an "honest" design we moved away
from the existing packaging approach and started by designing a new logo that
references the name of the brand with deliberate economy of means and simple
outline. We were inspired for our packaging concept by a phrase used for the
most popular type of flour which is taged as "suitable for all uses", and our
client's control process known as "experimental bakery": we actually baked a
series of dough shapes using the flour "Mills of Saint George" outsourcing the
creative input of sculptor Martha Foka. We photographed and let their appetizing
images (dough shaped as a moulding tool, as kneaded sweets, pizza slices, angel
cookies) become the basic argument of our design as they are layed on
monochromatic backgrounds of soft and soothing hues. In the very choice of
shapes and images flour is an ingredient that is a basic tool for easily
malleable and tasty foods, a precious nourishment, the stuff of dreams, a
critical component of the joy that friends share and the memories families
share.
