Juvee Galactic Berry
From concept to execution, I led the design of the energy drink packaging, beginning with a berry energy drink recipe. My responsibility was to create a cohesive package and develop a launch campaign. The final product, Galactic Berry, was inspired by iconic 2-bit graphics, drawing influence from cult classics like Space Invaders and Galaga.
I was in charge of the Art Direction & package design while we brought in an animator to bring our social posts to the next level with a video.
