The continuation Zero implies is encapsulated and visualized by the infinity symbol, to connote the endless enjoyment offered by the hard sparkling water.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In light of the preferences of the z generation, the design team labeled the hard sparkling water as ZERO to denote the infinite enjoyment it brings and the midnight for people to indulge in revelry. The ZERO is expected to create a mental habitat for the z generation to take their stress and disguise off and to show their true personalities in the leisure moments.
CHALLENGE: The challenge of the project laid in how to stand out in the crowded market of essentially identical products and to catch eyes of consumers in the consumption scenarios. For this end, the package design applies the font effect of 3D liquid metal on the figure 0 to visually convey the low calorie and refreshing taste of the product, quite striking and impressive. The illustrations of various art styles are also adopted to reinterpret what the ZERO can be, exuding a coherent vibe of futurism.
