Creating an eye-catching packaging design is a real challenge. Now more than ever, packaging design matters. I have witnessed to that personally, recently I observe the designs below on the super market shelves. I felt excited with the direction in which “Life” juices decided to take a contemporary approach to the industry. This contemporary approach became a big success in the capable hands of talented Greek graphic designer George Probonas and his amazing illustrations!
“In line with the strategy requirement for shelf standout by using fresh visual codes for the range of juices, the illustrations depict stories inspired by the flavour, colour and character of each fruit. The illustrations are designed to stimulate the consumer’s imagination, while at the same time giving a feeling of familiarity and nostalgia. The idea is to create a strong visual character for the brand in order to stand out from its competitors on the shelf.” (George Probonas)
