The design combines the symbolism of tradition, royalty and nature.

The purpose of the design is to reflect the personality of the brand together with its roots and history. All elements of the packing have a symbolism behind it, as they talk about the tradition and the refinement of the product. The challenge was to communicate the rich legacy of the brand along with the desire for innovation and perfection.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
All products of Valeputna are crafted with attention and care. In the manufacturing process there are some manual steps when the factory workers are handling the product. The packing offers an easy manipulation for the product by easy insertion and closing. The compact shape of the entire product facilitates the easy storing and transportation. On the shelf the product occupies an optimum space in terms of storage and visibility.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The whole rebranding process started with the discovery workshop. In this session our team together with the brand owners evaluated the current position of the brand, its attributes and values, the target group and the competition. After this our team developed the rebranding strategy where we established the final brand positioning and values, we identified how to satisfy the needs of the target group, we analysed the competition in terms of branding and messaging, position on the market and tone of voice. We also researched the products and packaging of the competition and the way they communicate to the public. We established the voice and tone of voice for the brand, the core messages and the brand pyramid. All the data collected and established in the branding strategy helped us to elaborate 3 visual direction for further development of the brand. From these 3 visual directions, together with the brand owner we chose one and moved to the redesign of the logo and the brand manual.

CHALLENGE:
TThe challenge was to bring to the surface the rich heritage of the brand while keeping it simple and modern. The whole visual must be clean and simple but it must communicate all the values: traditional recipes, roots and royalty, quality and ethics. For the brand owner, the decision to move from the 100% traditional visual to a premium one, was a bold and daring one. Being a family business, he took it to the next step in order to become an iconic brand for smoked trout. The brand has all the elements in taking its well-deserved place: rich authentic history, ethics, quality and innovation, all fueled up by passion and devotement.

I have to say, I'm truly impressed with this packaging design. It's clear to see the amount of thought and creativity that has gone into it. The unique use of colors, textures and shapes makes it stand out while the use of smoked trout is an excellent choice of subject. It's a great example of how design can be used to make an ordinary everyday item look extraordinary. It's a truly stunning work of art that I'm sure has been appreciated by many. Congratulations to Armeanu Creative Studio on their A' Design Award for this incredible work!
