Posil by Lee Hyun A
Packaging Contents: Thread
Packaging Materials: PaperPosil is a thread made from natural materials of fruits for people with sensitive skin or their health. We have designed four kinds of fruits, apple, orange, peach and blueberry. ‘Posil’ is taken from ‘Posil-ha-da’ which means
it has a warm and comfortable feeling called ‘Fosil’ which is taken from Hangul and ‘Feel’. The logo is expressed as if it were made of thread, in the shape of letters, and it was a thread made of fruit in the shape of a leaf on top of S and i. And I made O as a point and gave it as a point.
The shape of the pile structure is designed by cutting the semicircle into four equal parts by referring to the shape that comes out when cutting the fruit. In order to give the impression that it is a thread made of fruit, I got an idea from the apical part of the apple and gave it a point like the apical part of the apple on top of the package. I was given a hole in the center to show the color of the thread and the fruit, and I put the illustration of the fruit and the thread in the shape of the fruit.

Block ‘Free B’ by Lee, NaYoung
Packaging Contents: Toy, plaything
Packaging Materials: PaperProject intention – With the increase in environment friendly customers who think about their health and the environment, there has been an increase in customers who prefer environment friendly toy products for their children’s safety even though they are more expensive. Under the theme environment friendliness, I am proposing an organic fruit block package that is harmless to children because it is made from fruits.
Brand identity concept – From combining Free from natural and B from block, Free B means the nature’s block. By combining Serif font which expresses the curve elements of nature and Gothic font which expresses the straightness of the block’s image, the design expresses nature and the block’s image together.
Design concept – The shape of the package was made with block’s shape as the motive which can be fitted together. Rather than standing for just a simple product package, I have added an entertaining element which allows fitting the package together like blocks in order as an improvement.
Color concept – The fruit’s original colors were extracted as motive and used. While maintaining environment friendly atmosphere, it melts the expression of the image of the various colors of the block at the same time.
Mothesco by KIM, Saet Byeol
Packaging Contents: Paint
Packaging Materials: Paper
The word ‘mothesco’ is an abbreviation of mother’s color and it is a nature paint product package design made from leaves.
With economic improvement and increase in income of citizens, the consumer’s demand for high quality and safety focused products increased which led to increase in demand for environment friendly paint over harmful chemical substance paint. Unlike existing environment friendly paint, ‘mothesco’ simplifies painting and images environment friendliness through which its brand identity was built.
Leaves rolling on the streets and that are disposed were recycled as the main source of material for the paint and I predict that consumers’ interest in the product will increase because it does not use chemical paint, but a natural material which everyone can trust. The paint package design has a strong image of being a cylindrical tin pail and in domestic environment friendly paint market, due to the lack of distinctly designed products, I have proposed an easy and simple image in order to make the paint package design distinct.
Consumers are sensitive to paint’s product characteristic of containing harmful chemical substance and since they do not paint again until their existing paint wears off or gets dirty, there is less frequency in purchase. Also, they have high level of credibility for a well-known brand name. ‘mothesco’ has acquired safety by utilizing natural and chemical process free materials as the main source of material and through domestic company JEVISCO’s brand power, which it has gained through communicating with consumers for a long time, firm credibility from the consumers will be formed.
‘Mothesco’ has advantages of both low production cost and environment friendly product which will give high competitiveness in the market. The modern consumption trend includes increase in singe-person household, preference of organic and environment friendly products, and personalized lifestyle. In addition, with the vitalization of self-interior market, interior has not been limited to being a hobby, but it has hugely influenced personal lives. ‘mothesco’ selected women in their 30s as the main target by combining female consumers who are on the rise to become the nucleus of consumption and who have much interest in self-interior with people in their 30s who have 47% ratio of environment friendly product purchase.
Rather than being just a simple product package, ‘mothesco’ proposes new values to consumers with its distinctive appearance in paint product allowing it to be placed in indoor spaces and the design naturally melt in giving new values to consumers. The structural packaging was made with shape of the leaf as the motive and colors extracted from 4 types of main breeds from the trees on the street were used for the design to remind the material used at a glance and to make the natural characteristics stand out.

The third line is kiwi, which has the color green, and it helps iron absorption, has antioxidative effect, and suppresses carcinogen formation.

Yummy Bubble by JI Won Baek
Packaging Contents: Soap
Packaging Materials: PaperEco design has currently become an important part both in the design field and in our society. There are a variety of ways to design in an eco-friendly way. I have thought of an item for use in the bathroom. My project is ‘Edible Soap’. Edible soap is the one which is safe enough to eat accidently and harmless to an environment. It has two advantages. First, everyone, especially babies with sensitive skin or people with skin problems, can use it without worries. Some synthetic soap on the market cause people to have skin problems due to the chemicals in it. But my edible soap never harms even people worrying about their skin. Second, it’s good for an environment. Soapsuds with chemicals usually flow into the river and pollute the water for us to drink. But my edible soap won’t pollute any rivers because it’s made from natural materials. I chose fruits to make the most of their characteristics and designed fruit foaming soap for people to recognize it easily as a soap. I colored it with the original shade of fruits to look appetizing because it’s edible. I’m sure ‘Edible Soap’ will be a great solution to environmental problem.
