What color do you like the most? And why do you always wear black? Black for me is a state of mind. Black is not sad – I don’t think that color has one meaning like ours. It doesn’t have one meaning. Colors are part of a whole story. Don’t be afraid to use colors, but keep in mind that color is a name and it conveys a message, a line within the story. A little bit of color palette and a little bit of meaning, besides meanings, it’s worth remembering that colors have a story of collective memory – black text on white paper with a frame is burned into our memory as a sign of mourning —

Black – Black color conveys mystery and protection. Black can also be a color that conveys luxury. In psychology, black conveys control. In design we use it in many cases, it can convey luxury and it can convey sadness. Black is dark and black can also be a lifestyle.

Red – Red symbolizes passion and determination. Red can also convey war. In psychology it is a very masculine and energetic color. In design, red can scream war and red can be very minimalist. Red always has presence and power. Red is also often characterized as a color that creates a feeling of hunger.

Blue – Blue is the color of the sea, of the ocean, of the sky. Blue symbolizes freedom and blue symbolizes technology. For years, IBM took “ownership” of the color blue, it even earned the nickname, “The big Blue.” Blue is calming, it conveys stability.

Orange – Orange is a color of fire and energy. Orange has spiritual values, it is a color that speaks to the viewer and to the center of the body. Orange symbolizes more control compared to red, which is associated with an explosion of passions. It has a dimension of curiosity, and it arouses a desire to reach out and touch.

Wine, Prada and research

I don't know anyone who doesn't like wine. Red, white, pink, sparkling, still, dry, semi-dry, quarter-dry, wine. Here are some results from very diverse studies that examined the advantages and disadvantages of drinking wine. The results are a bit ambiguous :) "Drinking a glass of wine with meals reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes".

WPO-World Packaging Awards

At the World Packaging Awards in Milan, inside the Versace Palace. 500 projects from 40 countries stood before the judges. Then our name was called. Not once, but twice. GoChess — first place. 32ºN — first place. Two completely different packaging solutions. Both were built with precision, with a story, and with complete respect for the product inside. It was never about trends. It was about faith. Q - Structure is a language. Q…

Milk = MILK

See how easily a dairy brand can stand out from the competition. All with the help of a clean, simple, minimalist design and super creative packaging. The colors of the cartons symbolize the percentage of fat in each package, a number that is also clearly highlighted with a very precise font, which appears on the front. You can safely stop with drawings of cows, houses and lawns. NotFromHere C
