Happy Hippie

One expressive family, organised by variant.

Problem
Day, night and three dose strengths had to share one loud, recognisable identity.
Solution
A hand-drawn character and retro wordmark anchor every pouch; tie-dye colour and the day/night line separate the versions.
Result
Five production-ready stand-up pouch layouts, front to back, with an English/French nutrition table.

Design decisions

Why it looks this way

  1. Happy Hippie retro wordmark with a layered shadow.Open full-size image
    Original artworkWordmark

    Character is in the curves

    Rounded strokes, tight joins and a layered shadow give the wordmark its retro voice. It is built from vector paths, so it stays crisp.

    Colour separates the versions

    The character and wordmark stay; background colour and the day/night designation change, while strength and quantity sit in repeated places.

Overview

Happy Hippie is a family of stand-up pouches. Five layouts are supplied, separated into day and night versions and by strength.

The challenge

Day, night and strength variants needed to share a strong identity while staying visibly different on the pouch fronts and information panels.

Creative direction

The character and wordmark anchor every pouch. Background colour and the day/night designation separate the versions, while strength and quantity sit in the same places.

What was delivered

Five pouch fronts with coordinated production layouts, a vector wordmark and repeat artwork.

Design value

The range shows how an expressive brand can be organised across several artwork files; the flat production layouts expose the structure behind the presentation.

The problem is framed from the finished work, not quoted from a client brief.
