School Project 

The objective of this project was to create an original packaging design and cohesive brand identity that resonates with a teen audience by incorporating pop culture influences. The design aims to engage both teens and their parents through visually appealing, clear, and bilingual communication while establishing a strong, marketable brand presence. Additionally, the packaging is intended to be print-ready with accurate die-line specifications and realistic proportions, ensuring it is professional and retail-ready.

Research

To prepare for the design, I:

  • Watched the movie, trailers and studied previous posters made

  • Identified key concepts: redemption, chosen family, emotional healing, connection, acceptance

  • Brainstormed emotions and visuals tied to these themes

  • Sketched layout ideas before committing to a final concept

Composition

  • Scene: Two characters sharing a swing — neutral, intimate, symbolic of connection

  • Minimal detail: Focus on silhouettes and body language instead of facial features

  • Centered composition: Reinforces unity and emotional balance

  • Empty space around subjects: Reflects solitude, reflection, and personal growth

Typography

  1. Bold sans-serif (Title: PALMER)

    • Strong, grounded, and no-nonsense

    • Reflects Palmer’s hardened exterior and personal journey

  2. Handwritten style (Tagline)

    • Soft, personal, emotional

    • Represents vulnerability, connection, and chosen family

Typography hierarchy ensures the viewer reads:
TITLE → image → tagline → credits

Colour Scheme

A soft, natural palette was chosen intentionally:

  • Muted greens: symbolize growth, healing, and hope

  • Warm neutrals: evoke grounded, real-world storytelling

  • Low contrast background: keeps attention on the characters

The palette maintains the emotional warmth of the film while aligning with a clean, modern minimalist aesthetic.
