Marc Machado-ELO Designs: City alum featured on dieline

Congratulations to recent alumni Marc Machado for creating a packaging design selected to be featured on dieline.com-perhaps the most well known packaging website. Way to go!


Colorful work from ELO Designs:
"The idea was to create a brand identity beyond the already existing names in the market today. The target audience is young businessmen 20-45. Using original Italian names, I created colorful, sophisticated labels that best represent the brand and reach the target audience. A clean simple font was added to unify the brand. Colorful bubbles and caps bring the right amount of color balance to the product."
