EARTHY


CATEGORY: Conceptual Branding
DATE:  12/21



Earthy is a conceptual snack brand that caters towards the population who love to eat dirt. It was inpired by my personal experiences of eating paper. A further research lead me to understand the minor population who love eating things that are not usually considered as food, despite of social classes and wealth. And dirt-eating lovers make up the majority. While excessive consumption of clay can lead to health problems, the right amount of clay can help replenish the body's needs for micronutrients and emotional relief. From a societal perspective, this group is reluctant to bring up their preferences and fears of discrimination
         The brand supplys dirt-eating lovers safe snacks. aims redefine the food and establish eliminate widespread prejudice against dirt-eating lovers. Contributing to a de-mainstreamed society with the integration of the minority. The visual graphics are inspired by the physical form and the taste of edible clay. The color palette with a bit of bounce strives to construct a friendly and diverse vibe.
