Create branding and packaging, structural & graphic for a range of new natural fragrances created in Bondi Beach

The brand mark embodies female empowerment
The stylised ‘R’ inspired by the iconic image from the ‘We Can Do It’ campaign
The ‘R’, the visual shorthand for Recreation, dominates the packaging as the brands’ hallmark of confidence
The mark, a soft pink, blue & yellow graduation, echoes the twilight beach skies of Bondi

For the bottle we explored the intrinsic beauty of basic geometry
Arriving at a bottle that is a softened hexagon
A solid pedestal gives it visual gravitas
