Award for Packaging Design (Single)
Award Sponsor: SLD
Winner: Kyle Rask
Winning Project: Blackfly Canned Cocktail (Rebrand)
School: Capilano University, North Vancouver, BC
Blackfly's strategic objective was to revitalize the brand's image and shelf presence. This was achieved through a redesigned logo, elegant wordmark, distinctive all-black wrap and geometric brass foil accents. The new packaging aims to attract discerning consumers and expand market reach by appealing to those who may not have noticed the product due to perceived quality.
