The brief was to redesign a product that will be associated with IoT
for the greater user experience and to give an aesthetic value. to the
existing popcorn maker was selected and redesigned according to a
relative concept with inspiration and takeaways scrutinized from user
survey for understanding the actual needs.
Ideation
The concept was to redesign the existing hot air popcorn popper
which will be kids friendly, safe, and interactive, also to design the
form that compliments the utility and function of the popcorn
maker which is ergonomically and aesthetically appealing.

Nowadays children don’t know much about mechanical toys as

they are busy with phones and other advanced games, hence we
inculcated wind-up toy mechanism like a key in the popcorn popper
which adds nostalgic value along with playful and joyful experience
in the machine and which will keep the user busy with the popper.

It also adds interaction between the user and popcorn popper which
will excite the user to interact with the popper on large scale. Current
gaming and movie characters like a minion, among us, is very famous
among children these days, hence we tried to play with its form and
introduce similar characters in the popper which will attract the users.

Packaging
for

The brief was to design primary packaging that reinforces contra fresh’s
philosophy of farm to fork, looks premium, and gives customers a
rejuvenating experience.

We wanted to do some story-based visuals by communicating the concept

of superfood or super nutritional value food through packaging by taking
lilliput’s story concept where the raw materials would be the gulliver (su-
perfood) and consumers would be the lilliputians.
The Brand

Contra Fresh is a new upcoming brand based out of Ahmedabad, Gujarat focusing mainly on the
production of fresh cold-pressed juices. The USP of the brand is, All the organic and vegetables
used in the making of the juice are grown and sourced from their own farms. Employing
advanced hydroponic techniques to grow vegetables & fruits we are reducing dependency on
the soil. This enables us to shift farms closer to consumers thereby drastically simplifying the
supply chain. We are also ensuring quality and freshness through the application of advanced
technological methods and providing full traceability to the source. We grow all kinds of
traditional and exotic vegetables & fruits and a variety of superfoods like microgreens. You can
benefit from the goodness of these by preparing your own meals, making your own salads using
our recipes, or ordering ready-to-eat salads, dips & juices directly.

Vegetables & Fruits are key

Contra Fresh aims to Target Audience

Story of lilliputians

The story behind lilliputians is they are very small in size but they are very kind and helpful to the
gulliver, and they help him to go back to his home. So, in the same manner, small healthy
vegetables and fruits are also a very important part of our daily life and they help us in many
different ways.

So we are planning to work on graphics of packaging based on the story of gulliver and lilliputians.

The connection between the brand and story

1 In the story, gulliver helped
lilliputians to win a war against an
enemy so same as that vegetables
and fruits also help us to win a war
against illness and diseases.
2 Lilliputians are very hardworking and self
dependent so they grow their own
vegetables and consume it and keep
themselves healthy so the brand which we
select makes the juices from vegetables and
fruits which are grown at their own farms.

3 Lilliputians fell little safe because of
the gulliver due to his huge shape
so in the same manner vegetables
and fruits also give us immunity
to fight against the diseases and
keep us safe.
4 What Gulliver did not know about lilliput
is what these people can do and how they
can be used so in the same way we can
spread awareness about what vegetables
and fruits can do and it helps us in many
ways.

Sev puri is an Indian snack and a type of chaat. It is a specialty that originates from Mumbai,
Maharashtra, India. Although there is no fixed recipe for sevpuri, the basic ingredients used widely are

onions, and various types of chutneys. Some popular chutneys used include spicy mint, sweet-sour
tamarind, chili, and garlic. The filled puris are then topped with sev. It is seasoned with various spices
and flavors, such as raw mango, ginger, anise, cumin, clove, and chaat masala.

Sev puri can be made with a variety of fillings and garnishing ingredients. Other Dishes
