Urban Ears





Urbanears is a brand new headphone brand out of Stockholm Sweden. Packaging has been of great importance to us in order to emphasise us a new thinking brand in the world of electronics. We launch with two models, both available in 14 colors and the packaging follows the same colors. The packaging concept aims to be an enhanced experience and much effort has been put into the folding. Also important has been minimizing size and sticking to one material and still holding the product in place. The final product is all paper and width x height measures a mere 15 by 15 cm. We're real happy with it.

Christmas Imaginitol











The brief was to create an interesting and engaging invitation to The Creative Method Xmas party. It needed to illustrate what we do but also create a high level of interest and anticipation for the party. It needed to be humorous and memorable. It was also required to work as a new business piece outside of the Christmas invitation.

We based the idea on an imaginary pharmaceutical tablet that would solve their creative issues. Initially they were emailed a doctors prescription, followed by the package in a discrete paper bag. The invitation and the tablets were located inside. The party included staff dressed as doctors & medicinal shots administered by transvestites. The box and invitation are used as a new business teaser.

Via Roma

There are 3 million people in tuscany. All different & all unique. This authentic Italian brand shows their true character, expression & emotion, in a way that has not been seen before in u.s. retail design.

Neige









Inspired by the technique used to make ice wine and by Qu bec's very particular climate, Neige (meaning snow in English) ice cider was born out of this Canadian province's terroir, which has the extreme cold winter temperatures needed to produce the concentration of sugars for its creation.

The cidery La Face Cach�e de la Pomme approached Montreal-based agency Chez Valois to redesign the brand identity and packaging of the product line. The goal was to reafirm the leader and trendsetter position of this premium brand in the ice cider category as well as reinforce its recognition on the international market.�

To achieve this, a clean and minimalist design was created based around a pattern of snowflakes that can be found throughout the product line. A lot of subtle elements were also included in the design of the packaging, such as a peel-off label on the back of the bottle that allows to include more information on the history of the cidery and on the fabrication process of ice cider. Custom packing tape was also created to help identify which of the three versions of the product can be found in the shipping boxes.

Get Clean




"Shaklee, a wellness company, relaunched their line of environmentally friendly cleaning supplies under a new name: Get Clean brings a friendly and natural approach to everyday cleaning by showing home life and natural elements juxtaposed and working together in surprising ways. The leaf­like shape in the logo is reflected in some of the packaging forms, which were carefully selected from stock forms. The packaging system allows consumers to create their own dilutions from the concentrated products, with re­usable bottles and a sticker system. This saves on packaging and transportation waste."

Hanger Tea






If the Hanger Tea were to be submitted as an entry to tea-packaging-awards (if such a thing existed), I say it would win hands down! I can’t think of a better or more obvious way to pack teabags than this hanger & T-shirt design. It’s a funny take on how the simple motion of hanging a used teabag on the rim of your cup, be done. Color-coded for different varieties, the hangers are rather cute and so are the tea-shirts!
