The Squish Baby range of baby food packaging was designed as part of a range extention to the client’s existing range of puréed fruit smoothies aimed at toddlers and younger children. Taking cues from the existing range, a softer version of the logotype was developed, to create a more baby-friendly feel. The existing toddler range uses a monkey character as a primary graphic device, so a baby monkey was introduced as part of the Baby Squish logotype. A soft, pastel colour palette was chosen, and clean photography of the ingredients was developed to create simple, and clear communication of the different flavours.

The schoolwear area in Ackermans was looking to update their packaging by creating a stronger identity for the Groundworx brand, and to improve the shopping experience by creating a clearer definition between the products available for girls and boys.
A new badge-like logo was developed, and the corporate green across all products was replaced with a combination of a more apple green (for boys) and a coral (for girls). A simple typographic grid was applied for clear communication of product description and any features/benefits.

The Foodbarn required a series of T-shirts to be designed. These were to be worn by their staff and could also be purchased from the deli shop. With a very strong identity already in place with their distinctive goose, it was important to retain this key element while creating designs that encapsulated the Foodbarn’s offering.
The design “Golden Egg” uses a typographic illustration of an egg made up of adjectives describing the food, while “Nature’s Best” uses graphic illustrations of food and plants in combination with adjectives describing the food. The t-shirts were printed on Bamboo blend fabric.
