What if minimalism isn’t less — but more intentional?
This is COCO — a finished packaging system built on restraint.
Clean hierarchy, deliberate typography, purposeful whitespace,reduced elements.
But the key shift is here:
→ material becomes the design.
→ The aluminum isn’t just a container
it defines the color, the light, the presence.
A few intentional decisions:
1. Removing everything that didn’t carry meaning
2. letting hierarchy guide instead of decorate
3. treating material as the primary visual layer
For me, minimalism is not less design —
it’s more attention to every detail.
Great!!
A few mascotte tests that sadly will never see the light of day. Client decided to stick to "normal" branding. 😭
It is certainly their loss! This would've been such a memorable mark. Love it :D
Is minimalist design actually simple, or just harder to get right?
Across all my skincare packaging projects, the approach is the same. Minimal does not mean empty. It means every detail works twice as hard. Constraints are what make the design work.
Most of the work happens in what you barely notice. Adjusting typography so it feels editorial, not generic. Letting spacing create hierarchy and make reading effortless. Removing anything that does not serve the product. If it is decorative, bye. 👋🏼
When everything is reduced, every decision becomes visible. There is nowhere to hide.
What is the first thing you remove to make a design feel cleaner?
Minimalist done right is actually the hardest skill. Everything here earns its place on the label
