DESIGN PROCESS
1. Study
After studying various Japanese product packaging designs, we realised Japanese consumers have a different aesthetics preference when compared to Malaysian consumers. Most of the product packaging designs in Japan are minimalistic and uses “Earthy” colours, such as green, yellow, beige, reddish brown, black and white. They also use illustrations to reflect the nature & unique selling point of the product, as well as the target consumers the products sell to.
