| DESIGN NAME: Basic Naturals PRIMARY FUNCTION: Natural Cosmetics INSPIRATION: Basic Naturals makes the best natural handmade skin care products. "Basic" means that the products are made with basic ingredients, simple formulas that work which only include the necessary key ingredients. "Naturals" means that only natural ingredients are being used and provided by mother nature (pure oils, organic flowers, beeswax and essential oils). Given the brand name Basic Naturals, the design strategy was based on the vision and passion of the brand's founder, Yaniv Ben-David. The spark came from the inspiration he drew from Mother Nature, followed by his pledge to strictly stick to what Mother Nature only knows best. Basic Naturals products are made following best practices of aromatherapy as well as cold-infusion of flowers and herbs into the oils using only the finest ingredients. These methods extract the medicinal properties of the flowers and herbs into the oils that we use. Only organically grown flowers and harm-free organic beeswax, as well as high quality oils (first cold press and non-GMO), are used. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Basic Naturals is a new series of 100% natural handmade skin care products. Crafted in small batches in Connecticut, USA, Basic Naturals use only the finest organic ingredients Nature has to offer and are created exclusively on the basis of time-proven, mild production techniques. The brand’s logo incorporates in the word ‘Basic’ the element of a flower pot in the shape of an inverted ‘A’ and a Calendula flower, constituting a wink to the first product created, based on this plant. The visual identity and label design of the brand had to respect its origins and sufficiently reflect the philosophy behind it. The primary colours are evidently earthly-ochre and black take center stage. The typography employed denotes a handwriting style, while still being clear, simple and very legible. Finally, the design of all individual products integrates an original illustration that relates directly to what the product is and does. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Basic Naturals products are made following best practices of aromatherapy as well as cold-infusion of flowers and herbs into the oils using only the finest ingredients. These methods extract the medicinal properties of the flowers and herbs into the oils that we use. Only organically grown flowers and harm-free organic beeswax, as well as high quality oils (first cold press and non-GMO), are used. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in May 2016 and the first batch of products were finalised in March 2017. The project is still ongoing with new label designs for new products.

We tried to see the main visual codes of the market and the same time we tried to differentiate the brand Basic Naturals trying to express its values. CHALLENGE: The hardest part of the journey was the physical distance, since we are based in Athens (Greece) and the Client is based in Connecticut U.S. But the most interesting part was that the whole collaboration took part through Skype.
