Video 1 — Render by Michael Joongmin Park (my groupmate)

This project was a group assignment completed in a packaging design class at OCAD University. Our group included industrial and advertising students, while I contributed as the graphic designer.

My primary responsibilities included creating the packaging graphics and developing branding elements, such as the logo. Additionally, I assisted in creating a custom dieline to ensure the packaging's structural integrity.

The objective of this project was to design and develop a Point of Purchase (POP) structural package that not only housed and protected its contents but also provided a visually engaging reveal of the product inside.

For this project, our group decided to create a new brand for sakeware. Through research and brainstorming, we developed the brand Hanami, a Japanese term meaning "flower viewing." The brand's narrative centred on introducing and educating people about sake and the sake-making process. Our goal was to honour and celebrate both sake itself and the rich traditions of Japanese culture.
