This semester of study provides me with the opportunity to explore and experiment with various approaches to find a clear direction for my project. In doing so, I’ve focused on three main themes that form the core of my design: Collector’s Item, Interactive Drinking Game, and Social Interaction.
Collector’s Item: A Touch of Exclusivity
The idea of designing alcohol packaging as a collector’s item particularly intrigues me. Here, the aim is to imbue the product with a touch of exclusivity, whether through a special edition, unique shaping, or the use of high-quality materials. The packaging becomes not only a vessel for the alcohol but also a piece of art that captures the attention of collectors and aficionados alike. Such a design not only appeals to the senses but also creates an emotional value that transcends the product itself.
Interactive Drinking Game: More Than Just Packaging
Creating packaging that goes beyond its primary function and transforms into an entertaining drinking game is another fascinating approach. Imagine the packaging box being converted into a board game or various elements being pressed out for a card game. This interactivity not only provides a unique experience for the user but also encourages communal enjoyment during the consumption of alcohol.
Social Interaction: A QR Code for the Next Adventure
The third approach that inspires me is the creation of packaging that stimulates social interaction. Picture a QR code on the packaging leading to an open chat portal where people can gather to celebrate together or meet new individuals. This kind of „blind date“ in the world of alcohol opens up a new dimension of enjoyment by bringing people together and creating unforgettable moments.
Overall, I’m excited about the opportunity to not only create aesthetic values through my alcohol packaging design project but also provide deeper meaning and interaction. This semester will allow me to further explore these approaches and steer my project in a direction that is not only innovative but also offers genuine value to society. I look forward to bringing my ideas to fruition and seeing how they can transform the world of alcohol enjoyment.
