Morvoren's Cornish Crisps

A Branding & Packaging Speculative Design Project

Inspired by Cornish folktales, specifically the Mermaid of Zennor. Bold colours, flat shapes, and simplified scenery inspired by the coast of Cornwall, while 'Morvoren' is the Cornish word for mermaid. This project focuses on branding, illustration, and packaging design, aimed at a Gen Z and Millennial demographic. 

The Challenge

To create a Gourmet crisp brand inspired by Cornish Folklore, using whimsical Visual story-telling

Header Text - retro, standout, contains curved shapes which can be warped while maintaining font's aesthetic 

Body Text - Still has retro feel but more practical, so ideal for info such as ingredients. Grounds the header font.
