Te Hoahoa

Mō Island Rain Spiked Sparkling Seltzer Packaging

The brand and can designs for Omaha Brewing Company’s newest product, Island Rain, is inspired by island and beach-themed typography and subtly incorporates existing elements that can be easily distinguishable by those familiar to OBC, but not key to understanding the new spiked seltzer brand. The clean, crisp, white can is contrasted with splashes of color establishing a design language intended to target a younger consumer with easily identifiable flavors. Sold in an international market, Island Rain and Omaha Brewing Company look to positively impact the growing spiked seltzer market.

I Muri i te Hoahoa

Kete Pāpāho

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: The new logo is inspired by island and beach-themed typography while subtly incorporating elements that are easily distinguishable by those familiar with OBC, but not key to understanding the Island Rain brand.

A clean and crisp white can design compliments the logo and establishes a design language which will speak to a younger market, as well as, appeal to those who already enjoy Island Rain. Splashes of color allows for a consistent design with easily identifiable flavors.
Inenga & Pēketanga: 12 FL OZ Aluminum
Can Height 413mm
Diameter 211mm
Tūtohu: packaging, typography, clean, crisp, bright
Hangarau Whakanao: The initial design was intended to be printed directly on substrate, instead the client decided to continue using shrink wrapped cans for the current production run.
Wero Hoahoa: The most difficult challenge was to create a new and unique design that fulfilled the request of the client while not alienating a dedicated community who was already invested in the brewery.

Furthermore, a priority of this initiative was to produce a design that would allow for the lowest production cost available. Producing an eye-catching design that had to solve many marketing problems with a limited color palette also proved to be a challenge.
Rangahau: Research Objectives
To determine how to distinguish OBCs new sparkling spiked seltzer from their existing beer products while also creating a product that would compete in a crowded market.

Research Methodology
Review of current client product design and that of potential competitors was observed. As the primary designer of past designs, I had knowledge of the aesthetic which the client wanted to move away from.

Data Collection
Qualitative
