  • Packaging design for the complete line of products Suavipiel. The aim was to get a line of bath products differentiated from other brands, with a low production cost. The choice was a purely typographic design, clean and clear, which uses the name of different families as a main chart.

HEYDAYSHEYDAYS
Heydays
Our very own profile. Only one typeface is used in limited sizes. The shiny chrome is an interpretation of our name — Heydays. The use of cardboard is in contrast to this, it is for function and everyday use. The use of function is further elaborated in the heavy use of custom tape. Print finishing includes blind emboss, mirrorboard, cardboard and silkscreened jewelcases.
