Describe the brief from the client

Redesigning ICA’s own range of dog food. The food should be perceived as a professional and credible alternative to dog food sold in the speciality retail. At the same time, the packaging should be modern and visually powerful in order to stand out on the store shelf in an appealing way.



Describe the challenges and key objectives

The design had to appeal to the brain as well as the heart of the dog owners and the same time draw attention to the shelf.



Describe how you arrived at the final design

We created a design that appeals to the brain as well as the heart, using exposed content and product benefits on the front of the packages with the help of symbols. And at the same time chose to show the dogs in a more humoristic way, sitting hungry at a dinner table, which also served as a way to draw attention to the shelf and amplify the ‘oh-so-cute’ factor.
