“The most challenging are usually when the customer’s requirements and restrictions are very limited. We can still solve the problem through design. For example, our MCR’s coffee-bean packaging series and FIL Password Gift use almost ‘no design’ concepts to express the brand’s product proposition and function realisation under the constraints of cost and time.”...
MC Brand — Fuzhou, China
“We hope to see the integration of innovative methods of packaging design and high-tech printing technology to achieve unique visual effects.”...
Felipe Holman — Pelotas, Brazil
“The most challenging was the branding for Amira-Shawarma, which I did a while ago. And the most satisfying were two projects: the branding for Roca, a craft brewery here in Pelotas, and Reboot.”...
Minimalist — Seoul, South Korea
“Every big corporate is going ‘zero waste’ these days. As a group of creative people, we should always keep in mind that we, the designers, are on the front line of this big change.”...
Riki — Beijing, China
“Our Cator Cat Litter packaging design has been my most satisfying and challenging project to date. The client not only needed a series of packaging with different flavours, they also wanted them to be representative of the cat’s character, so the packaging needed to be as concise as possible. Both the client and I were very satisfied with the final...
Bratus — Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The most challenging and satisfying projects to date? “Stella Pharm. Unlike other design projects, pharmaceutical packaging design has a lot of regulations in each country and you must balance them with your design system. The visual was inspired by geometric structures for 12 different categories with abstract conceptual graphics in geometric forms, following deep research. Each category’s key visual reflects...
Kate Zakharova — Moscow, Russia
“The most of the most was Lil’Lamb. The challenge was to design not only the package but also the product. A detergent for newborns I was supposed to invent had to be one I would buy for my own child. There were no ideal products on the market, but I found a recipe for Marselle soap, composed of three natural...
Kowaleski & Co. — Ethan Kowaleski — New Orleans, USA
“Definitely more liquor packaging. Liquor labels and packaging have always been a favourite of mine. In fact, they are one of the things that really drew me to graphic design. This year, adding more liquor projects to my portfolio is definitely going to be a goal.”...
Tsubaki Studio — Jay Lim, Vivian Toh — Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
“Our Bird Nest packaging project. It is challenging in terms of the new colours and contemporary design used, which incorporated Scandinavian influence in its box structure, finishing and layering. When this was done, the health-supplement product successfully broke into a younger market and the design also appealed to more people of different races, which gave us great satisfaction.”...

Perrine Honore — Barcelona, Spain
“I use a similar process on paper as on the wall. I paint with acrylic paint, the style and colour palette is pretty much the same. I would say that the biggest difference is the amplification of the drawing. I do not usually use a particular method; sometimes I make a grid, but mostly I draw straight onto the wall,...
Vanya Dudchenko — Kiev, Ukraine
“I love working with large formats and monumental forms. When working with a large format, I try to create maximum expression with simple shapes and combinations. When creating a colour palette, I start from the entourage of the drawing I have outlined and the idea that it shows. It is important to integrate your work appropriately into the city’s exterior.In...
