RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project is a continuation of TGTL collection of olive oil can´s. They their business quite fast, with the first can´s collection. We start a research next to consumers and friends, that like to buy and collect the can´s.
There was a need to have a portuguese collection for olive oil. We start thinking in wich is the most important region in olive oil in Portugal and what was the most significant concepts and traditions they like to promote. The answer was the people, the coast/weather and tradition in the Alentejanos vests. After this we incite three ilustrators to give us three different perspectives of the project and main goal. The result are quite diferente from each other, but at the same time it represents the diversity of the country and Alentejo region.
CHALLENGE: The main obstacules was mix the ilustrations and design of the labels with the nutrition chart and info (by law) for consumer, trying to keep a flow and clean design.
