10 Simple and Impactful Packaging Design

Everybody loves minimal design, I mean who doesn’t? It is a design approach that prioritizes simplicity and functionality and you and me knows that designing something simple is really, really difficult. The rise of minimalism in design can be attributed to its capacity for crafting impactful visuals using minimal elements, making it perfect for making a strong impression while maintaining simplicity. Known for its sleek lines, uncomplicated typography, and utilization of negative space, minimal design frequently conveys a feeling of opulence and refinement.

GABIT COSMETICS by MOUSEGRAPHICS

MOUSEGRAPHICS opted for a monochromatic white surface that conveys an almost transcendental feeling, a sense of healing, of floating without weight and context. Each of these subtle formations emerges in photorealistic relief that does not describe but rather signals toward a particular need and use (acne, wrinkles, sun-protective layering). There is tactful de-dramatization, a quiet sense of peace, of being at ease with one’s own skin in this artful approach. It makes space for blemishes, problems, age signs without recourse to clinical austerity and excessive labeling.

ALFORM by Moscow Mule

Moscow Mule wanted to create a minimalistic and straightforward design that would be easy on the eyes. For the plastic bottles’ packaging, Moscow Mule used 3D illustrations of cells as a base. Simple at its core, cells are fundamental building units of all living organisms on the planet, and they have a kind and positive connotation associated with health. Each illustration visualizes a particular vitamin complex that supports a specific body system. The products in white boxes don’t belong to a specific system; in this case, the color scheme becomes a gradient, and the illustration of cells reduces to circles. The circles are made with a die-cutting technique so that you can have a glimpse of the inside’s product.

The design’s hero is texture, as the brewer played with embossed geometric shapes to add depth to the container in the absence of typical craft beer aesthetics. By manipulating the surface of the aluminum can, the design balances visual simplicity with detailed tactile consideration to reflect the malleable nature of the material.

On the bottle, Thomas wanted the design to feel modern and up-to-date but also natural and raw.
