DESIGN NAME: Bird’s Nest Radiant White
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packaging
INSPIRATION: As the bird nest is a renowned traditional ingredient in China, the design is required to present tradition in a contemporary way. In Chinese culture, the healthy whitening appearance should be white touched with red, so that the main colour is determined as pink. For presentation, paper-art is a traditional handcraft art, but it is still a fashionable way for advertising etc. Meanwhile, one of the most popular techniques in contemporary graphics is geometry with shadows to simulate 3D art.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The iconic recognition of natural bird nest is the typical advertising in linear arrangement and to present its leaf-shape structure. Thus, the bird nest is presented in an abstract way, as the leaves arraying vertically. The leaves overlapped partially with shadow underneath, in order to emphasise the sense of 3D structure. The background is bedding with paper-art flowers in white, corresponding the auxiliary ingredients, which also enhance the layering.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The leaves correspond the Bird Nest, which array vertically and face different directions. The colour turns redder on the leaves more downward; it represents the effect the product helps users appearing as blushed from the deep. Meanwhile, the pistil of each paper flower is located at the intersection between the leaves. The position of each flower is different on both sides. It seems they are moving with different tempo, that emphasise the imitation as 3D arts.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in October 2018 in Shenzhen and finished in February 2019 in Shenzhen.
