NOMA is a conceptual packaging design for colour pencils targeting the colour deficient. People with colour deficiency have the problem identifying the correct colour the correct usage. The packaging uses a symbol-coded system to represent each colour. The overall graphics focuses on creating a smooth and uninterrupted user experience. The unique structure of the packaging allows the user to separate the colour pencils into dark and light tones. The packaging can further be a pencil stand or as flat packaging according to user preference.

Curious Matter Andina Grey is selected for the packaging paper as it provides a sand-like texture and will help to leave a sensual impression on anyone who comes across the packaging.

This project has been awarded a Merit Award for the Asia Student Package Design Competition (ASPaC) in 2017.
