Trader Joe's Tea Packaging

Part of my Graphic Design 2 course, this assignment was an introduction to working with and designing for physical products. The assignment was to redesign the rectangular box for one of two Trader Joe’s tea flavors. I chose ginger turmeric (a flavor I personally enjoy) and began the design process by starting with orange (for ginger) and building a natural but eye-catching palette around it.

I enjoyed working on a physical product and found that my (albeit rusty) STEM skills helped me in the construction of patterns and the visualization of 3D objects. In addition to this project, helping design merchandise for Acara has led me to discover my love of packaging.
