COMPEL Bottle Packaging

A packaging design for a client needing to embody a combination of words: cube, combination, and illusion.

Multiple illusionary forms of cubes were developed, before a fascinating phenonomena was discovered when interacting with a prototype. Two parallel planes, each coded with parts of a 2-dimensional cube pattern, created a parallax when viewed from different angles - the forming and dissolving of a cube.

The illusion proved compelling enough to fit on to the bottle, with an added bonus: the curiosity increases as the customer consumes the beverage!

Branding begins as ambiguous patterns on opposite sides of the beverage bottle.
As the product is consumed, the illusion reveals itself, completing the brand image in the users hands.
