PATAGONIA: A CASE STUDY
Patagonia, founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard, is a renowned outdoor apparel company dedicated to high-quality, eco-friendly products and advocating for environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Our mission is to develop a digital mobile platform that not only highlights Patagonia's extensive product range and reflects its core values of environmental stewardship, community engagement, and a love for nature, but also evaluates its success in fulfilling social responsibilities through measurable frameworks.
The transparency and primary purple, blue & orange colour scheme, inspired by Patagonia’s existing brand identity and the dynamic sunset mountain landscapes, reflects the beauty of the natural world while also aligning with a sense of modernity and simplicity that facilitates easy navigation and an intuitive user journey.
Team Members: Yinghong W. & Ella Y.
Together, we contributed innovative concepts to address diverse design challenges throughout the project. Yinghong ensured that the design elements were functional and user-friendly, while I concentrated on the initial research analysis of the brand.
Boba, Re-usability, and Sustainability
Both the brand name and the logo are a mirror reflection of the idea of recyclability: the letter “O”, the leaf shape, and the overall circular motif that can be found in both the typeface and the logo shape.
Exploring Structural Forms
A journey of brainstorm and playing with physical prototypes allowed me to explore the most feasible method to minimize substrate use while maximizing collapsibility for transportation & recycling. The idea of potentially integrating an attached straw to the cup itself sparked a wave of new ideas...
Adding & Finalizing
Adding graphic elements and finalizing packaging dieline for each flavour. From a monochromatic green palette, to simple and organic illustrations for each flavour, I aimed to craft a design system that embodies the essence of recyclability and reducing waste.
One Drink • One Plant • One Step Towards a Greener Future.
To further convey Bubblo's concept, the catchphrase "One Drink • One Plant • One Step Towards a Greener Planet" effectively highlights the recurring theme of recyclability and features a circular symbol that represents our commitment to the circular economy.
