Sakura Shimizu — Packaging
This palette was extracted from
Award-Winning Packaging
This design features Dim Gray, Dark Slate Gray, Gray, Black, and Dark Gray.
About the Award-Winning Packaging Design: This package was created as a branding project for a floral artist. All of the brand's tools were created in a uniform gray color, which shows the true colors of the flowers. The packaging is designed in a simple achromatic color so as not to detract from the quality of the client artist's work. The symbol is based on the typography of a Japanese character meaning "flower", and all brand tools are created around this symbol. By using this "kanji" symbol, the client communicated to consumers its position as a Japanese floral artist.
This palette has a calming feel, evoking tranquility and clarity.
