RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In 1947, a captain by the name of Hanson Gregory drove his boat in a voyage. Because of the violently shake cause by the wave and wind, he found that he can not eat his bread when driving. To overcome this situation, he had an inspiration to cut a hole in the middle of his buns and string them in the banner beside the helm. That is where donuts comes from.
This design can completely reflect the brand tenet: detail oriented, healthy life and poetic sailor culture.
CHALLENGE: Regarding the brand communication requirements, the biggest challenge is how to bring the healthy brand idea to buyers directly with a minimalist graphic design.
Regarding the structure and material recipe, the biggest challenge are to achieve the rapid packing process with good cost control and food grade requirements.
