DESIGN NAME: Hao Xiang Ni
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Leisure Food
INSPIRATION: The Chinese name of the brand "Hao Xiang Ni" means "I miss you so much". It is more a letter of love than a pack of red dates. With all relevant element analyzed, we regard this as a matter of love. People will never stop pursuing love in an aesthetic and classic way, just like what Descartes did for his love. Hao Xiang Ni jujube also chases after a relationship of fondness with the consumers by producing and introducing these best-taste-at-28℃ jujubes with multiple techniques.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: We redefine Hao Xiang Ni, a kind of Chinese red date with the best taste at 28℃ by exploiting Cardioid, which is a heart-like form introduced from a romantic story of Descartes and a Swiss princess in the package design. The mysterious heart-shape graph is symbolized, which means every single jujube represents a heart.The poetry illustrations from Owen Gent reinterpret the brand tone of Hao Xiang Ni, which endows it with elegancy and romance.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Most of the package of red dates (jujubes) is red in China as the fruit is red. So we decide to make our package stand out from the rest by changing the brand color. We endow the package with a famous romance story so as to build up stronger connection between the consumers and the product, which also conveys the core value of the brand whose name is "missing you" in English.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started from May 2017 and finished in July 2017.
The design is done in Shenzhen, proofing in Shanghai, production in Zhengzhou.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We found out the previous package of the exact product and those of other brands were regarded as out-of-date as they reminded people of healthy problems. And for the client, we realize its brand identity was not distinctive or prominent and their product lines are no well-organized. So we made up our mind to help the client to build up an independent imagery system, which will start from this case as the style is unique in the current market of red dates.
CHALLENGE: We thought about using the technology of aluminizing to achieve the effect of light-reflecting and shinny-look. But we found out it will cause pollution to the environment so we decided not to use it to simply pursue a better appearance.
