Quala-Tea Week 6/Break: Chocolate Mockup

We wanted to prepare a physical concept to show Nela for the presentation. Therefore Jake used a laser cutter to test the design on a flat piece of wood.  Then in order to to create a mockup he cut together another wooden block an the shape of the chocolate block complete with the design inspired from the labels we designed.
Using the wooden Mockup; Jake also made a plastic mould which in turn would be used to create the actual chocolate blocks themselves.

During this weeks session we also brainstormed what there was to do next based on our feedback: What’s next? - Contact Companies to collaborate with, smaller independent businesses within wellington or larger scale companies in order to make it more of a NZ specific brand. - Sort out the recipes/recipes. We used almond milk, can we use cow's milk/soy milk etc - What other alternatives can we approach within the specifics of Iced Chai and Chocolate. - Make more of a case for bi-local and hipster sides of consumers. We assigned specific roles to everyone about wh...

Quala-Tea Week 5/6/Break: Concepts

We were told in our week four presentation that we needed more visuals to support our ideas. So while we waited for any possible collaborators we were contacting to get back to us; we made some concept designs for the Iced Chai and Chai chocolate. This fed into the break as well: The following concepts were designed: A label design for 'Nela's Iced Chai': The design followed the style of and colour she already used. This was due to our previous observation of her products already standing out on shelves because of the existing style and colour. A label design development by Freedom for the Chai tea with ingredients included, was used for presentation.
